Varicose veins are an embarrassing and often painful condition that affects approximately 40% of women and 25% of men in this country as a result of heredity, pregnancy, hormones and many other factors. The new gold standard of care is "Endovenous Laser Treatment". This minimally-invasive procedure can be done in our office, in less than one hour, with little or no down time or pain. At Vein Care of New York we thoroughly understand that no two legs are exactly alike and therefore the treatment plan for each patient is custom tailored to their particular needs.
We have multiple locations in the New York Area. Click on the map below for address and driving instructions.
Veins are the vessels that return blood to the heart once it has circulated through the body (as opposed to arteries, which carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body). They have one-way valves that help keep blood flowing in the proper direction. If these valves stop functioning the way they are supposed to, blood can flow backwards and pool in the vein, causing it to stretch.
Varicose veins are swollen, dark blue or purple blood vessels that you can see and feel beneath the skin. They often look like twisted cords, and usually appear on the calves, inside of the legs, and ankles. Varicose veins form when the valves within a vein weaken and allow some blood to flow backward. The vein weakens under the additional strain and balloons outward, raising the skin surface.
Patients with varicose veins do not usually experience any pain from this condition, although some may develop aching, throbbing, cramping and other symptoms that may indicate a need for medical attention.

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are small, thin, blood vessels visible beneath the skin. They appear most commonly on the face and legs and may look like a series of lines, tree branches, or a spider- or web-like shape with a dark center. It is estimated that they affect nearly half of adult women in the U.S.
Spider veins are caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, pregnancy (and other conditions that involve changes in hormone levels), weight gain, long periods of standing, and certain medications. They often appear red or blue, and because they form on the face, thighs, calves and ankles, many patients are bothered by the way they look. Others seek medical treatment for uncomfortable symptoms such as aching, burning, swelling and cramping. The standard treatments for spider veins are sclerotherapy and laser or pulsed light treatments.

"For 20 years I have watched my varicose veins get worse. I thought I would have to live with them forever as they continued to worsen. After the first meeting with the staff at Vein Care of New York I realized there was help for me. From the consultation to today, the doctors and staff have been extremely helpful. They explained the procedure, listened to my questions and checked on me after the procedure to follow up on my recovery. The procedure was simple, pain free, and the recovery was quick, and the result was amazing. I am extremely grateful to everyone at Vein Care of New York for all of their assistance and care."
