What Are Varicose Veins?

Restore Healthy Blood Circulation in Your Legs

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that develop when vein valves weaken and allow blood to flow backward and pool in the legs. This increased pressure causes veins to stretch and makes them visible beneath the skin. Varicose veins commonly cause symptoms such as aching, heaviness, cramping, swelling, restlessness, and fatigue. Over time, untreated vein disease may worsen discomfort and interfere with your daily activities and mobility.

Signs & Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins can affect how your legs feel and function throughout the day.

You may notice one or more of the following symptoms as venous circulation becomes impaired:

  • Aching or throbbing discomfort in the legs
  • Heaviness or fatigue that worsens with standing
  • Visible bulging or twisted veins beneath the skin
  • Swelling in the lower legs or ankles
  • Nighttime leg cramping or restlessness
  • Burning, itching, or tingling sensations
  • Skin discoloration or texture changes near the veins

Varicose Vein Treatments at Core Alliance

EVLT/EVLA

Endovenous laser therapy uses targeted laser energy delivered through a thin catheter placed inside the affected vein. The heat gently damages the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Once closed, blood is naturally rerouted to healthier veins, improving circulation and relieving symptoms such as pain, heaviness, and swelling without surgery or downtime.

RFA

Radiofrequency ablation treats varicose veins by using controlled radiofrequency heat to close diseased veins from the inside. A small catheter delivers thermal energy along the vein, causing it to shrink and seal. The body then absorbs the closed vein over time, reducing pressure in the legs and easing discomfort with minimal recovery and excellent long-term results.

VenaSeal

VenaSeal uses a medical-grade adhesive to seal faulty veins without heat or anesthesia. The adhesive is delivered through a small catheter and instantly closes the vein, allowing blood to redirect to healthy vessels. Because no thermal energy is used, VenaSeal often results in less post-procedure discomfort and allows you to return to normal activities immediately.

Varithena

Varithena is a specialized foam medication injected directly into diseased veins under ultrasound guidance. The foam displaces blood and irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and seal. Over time, the body absorbs the treated vein, improving circulation and reducing visible veins, heaviness, cramping, and swelling without incisions or stitches.

Phlebectomy

Phlebectomy removes surface varicose veins through tiny micro-incisions in the skin. Using specialized instruments, the vein is extracted in small segments. This outpatient procedure targets visible, bulging veins that do not respond to ablation alone, immediately improving appearance and relieving localized discomfort, with minimal recovery time.
