Have you ever come home at the end of the day and noticed your legs feel tired, heavy, and weak? Maybe you spent time at the pool with the grandkids, played 18 holes, or spent the afternoon shopping. You might brush off the soreness as too much activity on a busy day.
However, these sensations can indicate venous reflux disease (VRD), also known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Aging and other factors weaken the walls of the veins and compromise the vein anatomy, so they don’t function as well as they once did.
Let’s take a look at venous reflux disease treatment near Siesta Key at Florida Lakes Vein Center.
What Is Venous Reflux Disease?
Many of the veins in your body, particularly those in the legs, have one-way valves that keep blood moving up towards the heart. If these valves become damaged, blood can’t travel upwards and instead flows backwards. This process is known as venous reflux.
Symptoms of VRD include:
- Varicose veins and spider veins
- Swelling in the legs or ankles
- Pain, cramping, or tenderness
- Venous ulcers
Our team uses various minimally invasive options to treat venous reflux disease and help you return to an active lifestyle without discomfort.
VenaSeal
Our team injects VenaSeal, a medical adhesive, into the damaged vein to seal it off. Blood flow redirects to surrounding veins, and the damaged vein eventually scars over. VenaSeal treatment helps patients reduce VRD symptoms after just one treatment.

Varithena
During Varithena treatments, we use an FDA-approved medical microfoam to eliminate veins with impaired blood flow. Our Varithena treatment is unique to each patient, but most find their vein issues improve with 4 or more treatments.
Sclerotherapy
We also use an injectable foam during our sclerotherapy treatments. Sclerotherapy improves the appearance of the web-like spider veins.
