Addressing Vein Concerns Early and Feeling Confident About the Future
For this patient, the decision to seek vein treatment began as a cosmetic concern. She noticed visible veins developing along the shin of her right leg and didn’t know much about varicose veins or whether they needed medical attention. After a friend shared a positive experience at United Vein & Vascular Centers – Batavia, she decided to schedule a consultation, not only to improve appearance, but to understand her options before the issue became something more serious.
After evaluation, Andi V. moved forward with a combination of VenaSeal™ vein closureand radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat the affected veins. Several procedures were performed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to her needs.
Following treatment, she noticed significant improvement in the appearance of the area that initially concerned her. In addition, she experienced benefits she hadn’t fully expected. While she didn’t have daily leg pain before treatment, she had dealt with occasional nighttime cramping in her calves and feet, similar to charley horses, which has since improved. Just as importantly, learning more about vein health gave her peace of mind. She’s grateful she addressed the issue early, before it progressed beyond a cosmetic concern into a more serious health problem.
Treatment downtime was minimal, recovery was manageable, and she was able to return to normal routines without major disruption. Today, everything feels good, and she feels confident moving forward.
Her experience with the care team left a lasting impression. She shared that she absolutely adored Dr. Harvey and the entire staff, describing the office as exceptionally well organized and efficient. Appointments ran smoothly, she was often taken back early, and every visit felt professional and welcoming.
Looking back, her advice to others is simple: don’t wait. She encourages anyone who’s unsure to come in and get checked out, noting how easily vein issues can worsen over time if left untreated. For her, taking that first step has made a meaningful difference, not just now, but for her long-term health and confidence as she continues to age.
