Vein Treatment Varicose Veins Laser Lipo & Vein Care Center Ask the Doctor

I have a lot of spider veins on my legs, but no pain and no visible varicose veins.  However, if I get bruised it takes months to heal and my feet are always cold, even in the summer.  Should I get a reflux exam to find out what’s going on?

For most patients, the spider veins are the tip of an iceberg.  They also have venous insufficiency/reflux, therefore it is always important to perform a Doppler study and look for reflux.  There is a small percentage of patients that have just a few spider veins and minimal or no reflux.
