Varicose Vein Problems Plague Over Half of Americans Over 50…
Are you one of them?
Two-thirds of those afflicted with swollen or painfull leg veins are women and there are a multitude of risk factors that include:
- pregnancy
- careers requiring a lot of standing (like nursing or teaching)
- heredity
If left untreated, severe varicose veins can lead to complications such as leg ulcers and life threatening blood clots.
Hope For Those Suffering from Severe Varicose Veins
Catheters have proved to be a very effective varicose vein treatment alternative to the painful surgeries and stripping techniques that have been used for the last 80 years. Specifically, the VNUS® ClosureFAST™ device represents a major step forward in catheter technology for many reasons:
VNUS® ClosureFAST™ is a superior varicose vein treatment option:
- much faster than traditional treatments
- remarkably less painful than general surgery or vein stripping
- out-patient procedure – patients resume normal activity the next day
- healthy circulation is restored quickly
Treat the underlying cause with VNUS Closure®, the original, minimally invasive treatment.
- 30 minute, office-based procedure
- Resume normal activity — usually next day
- Less painful recovery than laser
- Less burning than laser
- 98 percent of patients would recommend the procedure
