Varicose veins are often quite symptomatic with aching, heaviness, cramp and itching. These problems may cause limitations to lifestyle choices and enjoyment of life. People in physical and standing work – builders, chefs, teachers and hairdressers are common sufferers.

The symptoms and appearance of veins will slowly get worse over time. As you age and become less active they can deteriorate leading to skin changes or even ulcers.

Even small veins can become painful and can undermine a person's confidence and self-esteem.

At Vein & Laser, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Simply vote down below.
