The TriVex™ System, which requires as few as two to three small incisions, can significantly reduce postoperative pain and scarring, allowing patients to return to normal activities within days.
There are also steps you can take initially to minimize the risk of contracting varicose veins:
• Avoid crossing legs when sitting since this impedes the flow of blood.
• Avoid standing for long periods of time.
• Elevate your legs when resting.
• Maintain an appropriate weight.
• Engage in light exercise, such as walking to improve leg and vein strength.
• Eat high-fiber foods to avoid constipation which can contribute to varicose veins.
• Cut salt intake to avoid swelling in your legs.
For the 19 million women and 5 million men in America who suffer with varicose veins, the TriVex™ System can offer a new, minimally invasive approach.
