Vein doctors, also called vascular specialists, are medical specialists who treat specific medical conditions and disorders of the blood vessels, including both veins and arteries.Today’s vein doctors are specially trained in the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins and spider veins, which typically begin to appear in people between the ages of 30 and 60. Blood vessels are lined with tiny valves that help regulate the flow of blood from one area of the body to another. When these valves malfunction, the pattern of blood flow is disrupted, and varicose veins or spider veins can occur.Usually, spider veins appear as tiny purple lines that may cross and connect forming a web-like pattern – hence the name, spider veins. Varicose veins are usually more problematic, appearing swollen and purplish, and often causing aching or heaviness. A vein doctor is experienced in a number of techniques used to successfully treat both spider veins and varicose veins, resulting in relief from pain and discomfort, as well as a noticeable aesthetic improvement. Techniques can include injecting a special solution into vessels, closing them to blood flow and allowing them to fade away, as well as stripping techniques which involve removal of the entire vein. More recent methods involve the use of lasers to treat hard to reach vessels.Vein doctors can also help diagnose and treat clotting disorders that may occur in blood vessels, which can cause heart attack and stroke. Individuals over 30 should consider seeing a vein doctor to determine the health of this vital network, and to help prevent formation of potentially life-threatening clots.
