Overall experience from booking to actual treatment was great! The staff is friendly and accommodating. Got treated for spider veins on my nose, still waiting for complete results but there is some improvement so I’m hopeful. Would definitely recommend Dr Kalsi and her staff.
Everyone was so nice and courteous from the moment I walked in the door. I felt like they really enjoy their job and want to be there. I was treated with respect and kindness. The doctor was so great, she spent ample amount of time with me and answered all my questions. I am looking forward to going back for my outpatient surgery.

Why Minnesota Vein Clinic?

Minnesota Vein Center is committed to treating vein disorders with minimally invasive varicose and spider vein removal procedures. Our Minnesota practice treats vein disorders starting with conservative management before using medications or surgery.
Lifestyle changes may be recommended, such as intermittent leg elevation, exercise and weight loss. In addition, the wearing of support or compression stockings may be recommended. While these treatments may reduce leg venous symptoms and may even prevent further deterioration of the venous system, conservative treatments will not “cure” the existing abnormal veins.

Why You Shouldn't Leave Your Varicose Veins Untreated

vein treatment
While varicose veins are often seen as a cosmetic concern, it’s important to recognize that without treatment, they can pose serious health risks.
  • Persistent Pain: Varicose veins contribute to venous reflux, disrupting proper blood circulation and leading to diminished oxygen delivery, resulting in muscle cramps and localized pain.
  • Risk of Infection: Venous conditions may lead to the development of leg ulcers, increasing susceptibility to skin lesions and potential complications due to exposure to bacteria.
  • Bleeding: Varicose veins, located closer to the skin’s surface and prone to inflammation, are more susceptible to injury and subsequent bleeding incidents.
  • Swelling: Hindered blood flow within the legs can cause reflux, resulting in swelling and discomfort due to inefficient circulation.
  • Blood Clots: Blood pooling in the legs heightens the risk of clot formation, which could dislodge and travel through the bloodstream, potentially triggering serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE).
Early intervention is crucial when it comes to addressing varicose veins. Do not postpone seeking treatment.

FAQs

Most Frequent Questions and Answers

In your leg, you have two sets of veins. They are called deep veins and superficial veins.

Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.

In a normal person, the blood circulates from the feet toward the heart in both veins.

When someone has venous insufficiency, the blood will go up the deep veins and back into the superficial vein.

The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.

Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will bulge and create varicose veins. Varicose veins are abnormally enlarged veins in the legs that are sometimes ropy and twisted in appearance.

Spider veins are groups of red or blue veins, close to the surface of the skin, that resemble the delicate strands of spider webs. Spider Veins are essentially a smaller version of varicose veins. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face.. It is common to find spider veins and varicose veins together.

No. Varicose veins can occur deeper in the leg, where one can’t see them. Varicose veins are classified under the spectrum of venous insufficiency.

Venous insufficiency causes leg discomfort, swelling of the ankles and leg, itching, and fatigue. Other signs and symptoms may be prickling, cramping, aching, and heaviness of the lower limbs after prolonged standing.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms besides simply visible veins.

In short, no. Exercise and compression stockings may help reduce some of the symptoms of varicose veins, but usually, only medical treatment can eliminate a varicose vein.

Progression of varicose veins can be dangerous as they may later become venous ulcerations. When left without treatment, complications may include rashes, infections, bleeding, sores, and blood clots.

In rare cases, varicose veins can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, which is life-threatening.

1) Consult – We start you with a consultation where you will be listened to and encounter a friendly staff that will ensure you get the best care. On the first visit, that care will come from our expertly trained team, including Dr. Kalsi and an ultrasonographer.

It is normal to have some minor discomfort during the procedure. We will do everything we can to make this as relaxing and comfortable an experience as possible. After the procedure, patients may experience minor bruising or discomfort in the area of the treated vein, which normally resolves in 3-4 weeks. Overall, patients report minimal pain/discomfort and can go back to doing the things they love.

Patients usually return to work and activities on the very same day. Very little downtime is needed for our treatments.
