Complex Vein Problems Treatments
Vein problems can worsen over the years, leading to changes in skin texture, color, and elasticity. Pain can become more severe, and swelling worsens. Next, the skin can break down, and an ulcer forms.
The venous stasis ulcers are common—one in 50 Americans has one—and they were once debilitating, lifelong problems. Fortunately, with modern techniques used in a specialized vein center, the cause of these ulcers can be treated. This allows rapid healing and can decrease the chance of the ulcers coming back.
