The Truth About Vein Disease

Have you been living with painful, blue, or bulging leg veins? Maybe you’ve noticed the skin texture of your legs has become increasingly scaly and discolored.

You can take our online vein screening, or ask yourself these questions:

  • Do my legs feel heavy?
  • Do my legs ache or itch?
  • Do I feel numbness or tingling in my legs?
  • Do I have restless legs?

These are common symptoms vein disease, which can occur in both men and women. Most people live with these symptoms for about 35 years before seeking help and being diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (AKA vein disease and varicose veins). Don’t be one of the 1% who waits to seek relief!
