Bulging veins are not uncommon and can be a legitimate cosmetic concern. However, they can also be a sign of something more serious including some of the most common vein problems. Instead of brushing them off as simply unsightly, take the time to visit a Bel Air vein doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. 

Why Do My Veins Bulge?

There are many reasons bulging veins may occur. High blood pressure, a rise in body temperature, lifting weights, aging, being underweight, genetics, and superficial blood clots can all cause varicose veins. 

What Are My Treatment Options for Bulging Veins?

Your treatment option is determined by your Bel Air vein doctor after a diagnosis, but some of the most common treatment options for bulging veins include:

• Laser Therapy: Endovenous ablation therapy (EVLT) uses a thin fiber to collapse and seal abnormal veins. The vein is removed when the fiber is withdrawn. 
• Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS): This is used for deeper veins that laser treatment won’t help. It involves the use of a chemical foam that collapses the walls of irritated veins. 
• Ambulatory Microphlebectomy: Under local anesthesia, problems veins are removed through small incisions using a hooked instrument. 

What About Recovery From Bulging Veins? Is It Complicated?

It’s really not. After treatment for bulging veins, blood is naturally rerouted through healthy veins and the collapsed vein is broken down by your body over time. 

After treatment, you may experience mild discomfort, but you’ll be able to continue normal daily activities after about 24 hours.
