September 1st, 2013. New York. The New York Vein Treatment Center is launching a new campaign to educate the public about venous insufficiency. Millions of Americans are at risk for this chronic disorder, says the New York based vein center. The center hopes the information it provides in its new campaign will help patients take steps to reduce their risk of this potentially dangerous disease.
Dr. Lev Khitin, a leading vein doctor at the New York Vein Treatment Center, explains that venous insufficiency occurs when a vein is no longer able to effectively move blood out of the lower extremities. “Damage to tiny valves inside the vein along with blockage from blood clots can severely reduce a vein’s effectiveness. Over the long term this condition can lead to varicose veins, an increased risk of blood clots, and development of trophic ulcers, infections, bleeding and even malignant lesions.”
Because venous insufficiency can be caused by lifestyle factors, it is important for individuals to understand what they can do to lower their risk. The center will provide information on this topic through their social media outlets, including Facebook and Twitter. This campaign will run throughout the month of September.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins are extremely common in men and women. While spider veins are very small, reddish veins on the surface of the skin, varicose veins are much larger, bulging, tangled veins that may appear bluish in color. Men and women suffer from varicose veins, although women are much more likely to have them.
Today, patients have access to a number of effective varicose vein treatment options. Advancements in technology and medicine have led to the development of safe, effective, minimally invasive treatment modalities that provide excellent, most importantly permanent results with no side-effects or downtime. Some of these modalities are foam- sclerotherapy and cryo-sclero, radio-frequency ablation, micro-phlebectomy, endovenous LASER obliteration and many others.
