What is Vein Disease?
Vein disease—also known as venous disease, chronic vein insufficiency, or venous reflux disease—affects up to 15% of the United States population. This condition occurs when the valves in your vein stop functioning properly, which most commonly happens in your legs.
Healthy veins push blood up through your legs and back into your heart, but malfunctioning veins cause blood to flow backward and pool in your lower leg veins. Over time, your veins are more susceptible to failure, which is why many people suffer from venous disease as they age.

Vein Disease FAQs
The difference between a vein and an artery is very straightforward. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and veins carry low-oxygen blood back to the heart. Veins are also called blood vessels.
Yes, vein treatments are safe; they only close off veins that don’t work properly. The human body has more than enough veins to move blood around, so it can easily adapt. Once we close off the malfunctioning valves, the blood diverts into other, healthier veins.
Both spider veins and varicose veins result from vein disease. Spider veins are smaller veins than what most consider “varicose veins.” Varicose veins are larger, swollen vessels that twist beneath your skin, giving it a bulging, ropey appearance. Spider veins are usually single veins, but they can also cluster like varicose veins.
