Monday, 04 April 2011 by Vein Clinic
I have recently seen the full page advertisement in The Sunday Mail for yet another product claiming to be helpful in the management of varicose veins and spider veins. These products seem to appear with monotonous regularity like diet pills and exercise equipment etc. Interestingly, the product “has been specifically developed for people suffering from varicose veins,

Caring for your legs – Exercise and Movement

Friday, 18 March 2011 by Vein Clinic
EXERCISE AND MOVEMENT Participate in regular exercise. Simply walking will help your circulation.  Other sports and exercise such as tennis, running, cycling, dancing and swimming all help with circulation.

Why do some patients get ulcers with treatment?

Do treated veins come back?

Monday, 03 January 2011 by Vein Clinic
No, but you will develop new veins for the same reason you developed the veins that have been treated. The treated veins are gone for good but new reticular veins and associated telangiectasia (spider veins) will develop over time. The time for new veins to develop depends mainly on factors such as family history, pregnancy

Wednesday, 22 December 2010 by Vein Clinic
Patients often come to Vein Doctors Group claiming sclerotherapy does not work for them. What they need to understand when they make that statement is that there is an enormous variation in the skills of the doctors performing sclerotherapy.
