Aching, swelling legs? Visible veins? Here are 4 reasons why you should get scanned for vein disease this summer

1. Symptoms show in the summer!

Spider veins and varicose veins usually appear on the lower extremities of the body, such as the legs, calves, and thighs. People with spider veins generally start wearing oversized clothes and pants to hide their legs. That’s not a problem in Winter, but as Summer comes around, all you want to do is wear shorts. Understanding all of your symptoms and devising a treatment plan will liberate you from unhealthy veins on your legs, so you can wear your favorite shorts and dresses again, comfortably. 

Most people are concerned about downtime in regards to medical treatments. But that’s the beauty of minimally invasive spider vein and varicose vein scans and treatments – there is no downtime or extended recovery period! In-office scans and treatments both concludes within an hour (usually far less) following which you can resume most of your daily activities. There is absolutely no downtime, so you don’t miss any social or professional events!

2. Confidently Plan Vacation & Events

Getting your leg veins scanned for vein disease during the summer is crucial for vacation and event preparation, particularly if you plan to receive treatment right away or in the fall. An early diagnosis allows you to enjoy summer activities without worrying about untreated or undiagnosed vein issues. Knowing your vein health status helps you plan vacations and events around your treatment schedule (of course we lay out a plan for you, but your treatment schedule truly is in your hands. We ensure a custom experience from start to finish).

Take advantage of starting the process now for a more comfortable recovery, reducing the risk of swelling and heat-related complications. By addressing vein health proactively, you ensure that you can step into the fall and holiday season free from the pain and discomfort of untreated vein disease.

3. Get proactive about scheduling your vein treatment

Getting your leg veins scanned by an expert vein clinician during the summer is incredibly helpful for treatment planning. By diagnosing vein issues early, you can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that fits seamlessly into your schedule. Summer scanning allows ample time to consult with specialists, explore treatment options, and arrange any necessary procedures. This proactive approach ensures that you can address vein problems before they worsen, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall treatment outcomes. Stay proactive and stay ahead of your health needs. 

4. Sleep Restfully & Have Peace of Mind

Do you find yourself urgently shaking and moving your legs at night, incapable of falling into a restful sleep? If so, you probably suffer from restless legs syndrome, a common symptom of varicose veins and underlying vein disease. If you have restless leg syndrome, you probably experience exhaustion throughout the day, preventing you from being productive. Vein treatments address the root cause of restless legs, so you can sleep restfully at night and be productive by day!

Early detection of vein issues allows you to understand your condition and plan appropriate treatment, alleviating the anxiety of not knowing the state of your vein health. This proactive approach means you can address any problems before they worsen, reducing the stress and worry that can interfere with sleep. Knowing that you have a clear treatment plan in place for the fall provides reassurance and allows you to relax and enjoy the rest of your summer. By taking control of your vein health, you can rest easy, knowing that you are taking steps to improve your well-being and prevent future complications, leading to better, more restful sleep.
