What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are a group of veins that have a bulging appearance. They are usually blue or purple. Some are more apparent than others. Many people suffer from varicose veins that do not only affect their appearance. Varicose veins can cause pain and discomfort and affect your health. If you have varicose veins you will likely know that they cause aching around the affected area. Allowing varicose veins to continue to develop may lead to ulcers around your feet and ankles, a heavy feeling in your legs, and cramps in the affected area. Additionally, the skin around your varicose veins can become dry and swollen, resulting in discomfort. If you have varicose veins, it is best to treat them as soon as possible. This will avoid future issues and a negative impact on your health.
Sclerotherapy For Spider Veins
Varicose veins may sometimes resemble the web of a spider. These veins are called spider veins. As much as these veins are not painful or cause health threats, their appearance may still cause a problem. Many people that suffer from spider veins may not want to wear clothing that reveals their veins. Spider veins can also lead to more severe varicose veins that can cause pain and discomfort. By addressing these areas sooner rather than later, you can eliminate the possibility of your varicose veins causing problems in the future.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Many factors contribute to varicose veins. Here we will discuss what they are.
Thinned Vein Walls
Your veins have the job of transporting blood to and from your heart. Your blood carries oxygen around your body. When your veins are subjected to large amounts of pressure, varicose veins appear. This is because the walls of your veins are very thin. Varicose veins start to develop when your veins walls are stretched by the flow of blood.
Failure to Stop The Backwards Flow Of Blood
One of the most common causes of varicose veins is when the blood in your veins flows backward. While there are valves in your veins to prevent the blood from flowing backward, these valves sometimes stop working, resulting in your blood flowing in the opposite direction. This is a result of your heart not actively pumping blood. The change in direction of flow causes a buildup of stagnant blood, resulting in varicose veins. Having high blood pressure may also contribute to the development of varicose veins.
Where Do Varicose Veins Appear?
Many areas of your body can develop varicose veins, such as your rectum, uterus, esophagus, pelvis, and vagina. However, the most common place they can be found is on your legs.
How Do I Prevent Varicose Veins?
While many factors contribute toward varicose veins, there are ways to reduce the chance of them appearing and sometimes even avoid them altogether. Here are some of the causes of varicose veins. Genetics is the leading cause of varicose veins. If you have a history of varicose veins in your family, you will likely have them too.
Although the leading cause of varicose veins is not in our control, we can take measures to avoid their severity. Standing for extended periods can contribute to varicose veins. The varicose veins develop because there is a buildup of stagnant blood. This does not happen when you are running or walking because there is an increase in blood circulation during physical activity.
Maintaining a balanced diet and keeping up with a regular exercise routine can prevent varicose veins from developing. Maintaining a stable weight encourages good blood circulation and a healthy heart which may also help to avoid varicose veins.
What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. It is considered to be the best varicose vein treatment on the market. The technique used in Sclerotherapy treatments is a saline substance injected into your veins. This causes your veins to become irritated and swollen. Due to this swelling, your veins become clogged. This will force your body to send blood to other veins, resulting in the treated veins dying and becoming scar tissue. Over time, your body will remove the dead tissue by dissolving and absorbing them.
Care After Sclerotherapy
After your treatment, moving around is an important part of recovery. This will prevent blood clots. You will wear compression bandages for about 2 weeks to maintain compression on the treated veins. You will be able to resume normal activities on the day of your treatment except for driving yourself home and doing strenuous exercise.

Amazing job

Category: vein treatmentsOk so I know I left a review before, but I’m at the gym working out right now and I see my legs in the mirror, particularly the right leg, and all I can say is DAMN, MY LEG LOOKS SO GREAT! And all that vascular pain from standing and working behind a salon chair is GONE!!! Thank you again Dr. Raymond and everyone at Beach Cities Vein and Vascular Center! I’m so happy with everything you did and it was worth every penny. To me, you did the impossible, and I’m so not kidding. I had been to two other vein “specialists” over the last 15 years they didn’t even come close to what Dr. Raymond could do. So again thank you!
Fantastic

Look No Further than Doctor Rayman!

Category: vein treatmentsAt age 29, I had a growing varicose vein on my ankle that made me feel so insecure and like everyone was looking at my “monster vein” (lol). I was about to turn 30 in a few months so I started looking up places to help me get rid of my unsightly vein. When I found this site online I immediately made an appointment. I was excited, but also very nervous as I have never had any sort of medical procedure before. However, once i got to the office everyone is SO kind and quick to answer any questions, I felt like I really made the right choice with Dr. Rayman. Marlene was with me through a lot of my appointments, doing my ultrasounds and pictures-she does a great job and is so sweet! Dr. Rayman is one of the nicest doctors I have met. He immediately made me feel comfortable not only due to his extensive knowledge but also due to the fact that he really cared about me, my issue and how to fix it. We went with the Endovenous Laser Treatment to treat the core problem of my “monster vein”. The procedure itself was relatively quick and definitely painless as my leg was completely numb! For me, as someone who gets grossed out easily, it was a mental game of not thinking too much about the procedure as it was happening lol! My mom was allowed to be in the room with me, I got to pick my favorite music, and honestly we all chatted the whole time. I went back for my second procedure, which was the injections into my soon-to-be-gone monster vein. This was also pretty painless for me besides some mild burning sensations initially after the injections. I wore the compression socks as directed and personally had no trouble with them. I had a little bit of a numb sensation where we did the EVLT, but that faded with time and I feel totally normal again. I just went back for 6 month check up appointment, and my monster vein is gone!!! I’m so incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Rayman and his team are so good at what they do, so kind, and SO WORTH IT. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent Experience!

Category: vein treatmentsYOUR SEARCH IS OVER! This review will be helpful to those who have delayed doing something about their varicose veins because of fear. If you are scared of needles, traumatized from past surgical procedures, and burdened by years of daily reminders of having painful, bothersome, and tired legs due to varicose veins, you do not need to worry anymore, nor do you need to suffer any longer from the physical and emotional pains that come with varicose veins thanks to Dr. Rayman and his exceptional medical practice. A bit of background: I had surgery 8 years ago by a surgeon to address varicose veins in my right leg -- a "real" surgery in a hospital operating room, with full general anesthesia. Not only were the surgery and its after effects painful and long lasting (including nerve damage), even more varicose veins started popping up about a couple years later. Due to that bad experience, I decided I would NEVER do anything about my varicose veins again, and that I was destined to live with the pain, discomfort, and ugliness. Fast forward 8 years, and the discomfort/pain, heaviness/throbbing, etc. were really getting to be a daily issue. Even people were coming up to me asking if my legs were hurting, because they looked like they felt! So I decided to do my due diligence and started to do a lot of research online (medical conditions, procedures, and various doctors). Thanks to Yelp, I found Dr. Rayman!! Being a bit gun shy, I called his office twice with tons of questions, and then proceeded to see him for TWO consultations (with my notepad full of questions). Each time, and with every interaction I had with him and his staff , I felt more and more at ease. Dr. Rayman showed me with the ultrasound exactly what my veins were doing and not doing. (And low and behold, the vein that was supposedly tied off 8 years ago was still there, bad as ever.) He and each one of his staff received me and my zillion questions with such respect, patience, compassion, and professionalism. Three weeks after my consultations, I had my radiofrequency ablation (RFA) done! Dr. Rayman and his staff are great, but I think they are able to show their personal best when actually performing the procedure -- during the procedure, there was wonderful bedside manner, nice music playing, excellent communication between doctor and patient and assistants, and obvious skill and confidence. Being embarrassingly afraid of needles, I must say it was really fine! I wanted to hug him when it was over, he was that great and showed that much care! I also appreciate his practical tips on how to distract myself when he was administering the numbing medication!! And considering it's just 3 days after my procedure and I've already made my appointment for Dr. Rayman to do my left leg (same condition), you've got to know that I'm completely satisfied, comfortable, and grateful. I told him, "Dr. Rayman, thank you for doing what you do!!!!"
