The two most common vein problems are spider veins and varicose veins. Spider veins are small, dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin – commonly found on the legs or on the face. While sometimes only a cosmetic issue, often they can indicate a more serious problem.

Varicose veins, on the other hand, are a medical condition that can lead to serious complications if left untreated. These are larger, bulging veins that develop because of a weakening of the vein wall, abnormal valve function or a combination of the two. Because varicose veins are a medical problem, Medicare and many other insurance companies cover their treatment.

Treatment
Until very recently, treatment of vein problems was painful and often left scars. The latest procedures use micropunctures, lasers, radio waves and other non-invasive technologies to treat the vein without pain and scarring.
