What is Vein Disease?
Venous disease goes by many names, including chronic vein insufficiency and venous reflux disease. Vein disease occurs when vein valves in your leg stop functioning properly. The valves in healthy veins work effectively to push blood through your body and back to your heart—this means they’re pushing the blood against gravity to move up your legs.
This process contributes to why so many people suffer from venous insufficiency disease, especially as they age. When the valves don’t work, blood flows backwards and pools in your lower leg veins.

Vein Disease FAQs
The difference between a vein and artery is very straightforward. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and veins carry low-oxygen blood back to the heart. Veins are also called blood vessels.
Yes, vein treatments are safe; they do remove the veins that aren’t working properly. The human body is equipped with more than enough veins to move blood around, not to mention our bodies’ amazing ability to adapt. When the ineffective veins are destroyed, your healthy veins make up the difference without skipping a beat.
Both spider veins and varicose veins result from vein disease. Varicose veins are raised, swollen vessels that twist and coil beneath your skin, giving a bulging, ropey appearance. Spider veins are actually a smaller vein than what most consider “varicose veins.” Varicose veins are simply larger veins just below the skin surface and coil beneath. Spider veins are smaller versions and usually are single veins, but can also cluster.
Treatments For Vein Disease
Before recommending any treatments, your vein specialist in Venice will use ultrasound technology to view the soft tissue and blood vessels in your affected area. This gives a clear look at the problem for a fast and accurate diagnosis.
