How can I prevent varicose and spider veins?

Not all varicose and spider veins can be prevented. But some actions can reduce your chances of getting new varicose and spider veins.

• Wear sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun and to limit spider veins on the face.
• Control your weight to avoid increase pressure in the abdomen. Added weight increases pressure in leg veins.
• Avoid tight clothing that constricts your waist, groin, or legs. Such clothing can also cause increased pressure in the leg veins.
• Elevate your legs when resting.
• If your occupation requires you to sit or stand many hours, wear elastic support stockings. It is important that the elastic stockings are of the graduate compression type.

Do insurance companies cover the costs of treatment?

We will determine whether the symptoms, the underlying problem and the proposed treatment are "medically necessary" or cosmetic in nature. If your condition is deemed "medically necessary," the treatment may be covered.
