Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. If you are feeling self-conscious about wearing shorts or a bathing suit because of unsightly or painful leg veins? You are not alone, millions of people suffer from vein disorders. For most people, vein conditions do not pose a serious health risk, but they can be uncomfortable and unsightly, and may cause a number of problems for those who suffer from them.
What Causes Vein Disease?
Vein disease is usually caused by damaged or weak vein walls or valves. Tiny valves in your veins work against gravity, pushing blood back up to your heart. When these valves become weak or damaged, they become inefficient, and blood begins to pool in your veins instead of traveling to the heart. This increases the blood pressure in your veins, causing them to swell and enlarge. Genetics play a role in the development of vein conditions, as do old age, pregnancy, standing for long periods of time and obesity.
Founder of New York Bariatric Group, Dr. Shawn Garber explains why it was essential to develop NYBG Veins and provide resources to address vein disease, especially for those who are symptomatic and overweight. "Extra weight increases venous pressure and causes veins to stretch, dilate and bulge. Patients should consult a qualified vein specialist who has the skill and experience to properly address the condition, alleviate pain, and improve health outcomes."
NYBG Veins Treatments
NYBG Veins treats a full range of vein conditions from spider veins to varicose veins with minimally invasive treatments. Advanced treatment options available at NYBG Veins include:
- Ablation Therapy - which includes Radiofrequency Ablations (RFA), Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and Endovenous Adhesive Ablation with VenaSeal
- Sclerotherapy
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Unique treatment plans are designed for each patient depending on their vein condition. If a patient's vein condition is more severe, an extensive plan may be required. For milder cases, a single treatment could be all that is needed to treat the vein condition.
NYBG Veins is led by accomplished Interventional Radiologist Dr. Jiyong Ahn. Dr. Ahn brings over 20 years of experience in diagnostic and interventional vascular radiology. By combining minimally invasive image-guided techniques with specialized training in phlebology, Dr. Ahn and his team provide patients with customized vein treatment plans with reduced risks, less pain, and faster recovery.
“We provide best-in-class techniques to treat vein disorders in a patient friendly environment," says Dr Ahn.
