What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that occur when the valves in your leg veins weaken or fail. This allows blood to pool in the legs, leading to visible bulging veins and symptoms like leg pain, heaviness, swelling, and fatigue.
This is more than a cosmetic concern—it’s a medical condition that can progress into chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) if left untreated.
Signs You May Have Varicose Veins
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time for a vein screening:
- Aching, throbbing, or heavy legs
- Swelling in the lower legs or ankles
- Bulging, rope-like veins
- Discolored or hardened skin near the ankle
- Restless legs or cramping, especially at night
- Visible spider veins
Why Treat Varicose Veins?
Left untreated, varicose veins can lead to more serious issues such as leg ulcers, skin changes, and chronic discomfort. Treatment improves:
- ✔ Circulation
- ✔ Daily comfort
- ✔ Cosmetic appearance
- ✔ Your ability to stay active
It’s time to stop “putting up with it.” There’s a safe and effective solution available locally.
Treatment That Works
At Rapid City Medical Center, our General Surgery team offers two trusted, minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins: ClosureFast™ and VenaSeal™.
ClosureFast™
ClosureFast™ uses radiofrequency ablation to deliver gentle, uniform heat inside the diseased vein, causing it to close. Blood is naturally rerouted to healthy veins.
Benefits of ClosureFast™:
- 45–60 minute outpatient procedure
- Performed with local anesthesia
- Covered by most insurance plans
- Quick recovery—most resume normal activity in days
- Clinically proven: 94.9% success rate at 5 years
- Less pain and bruising compared to laser treatments
VenaSeal™
VenaSeal™ uses a specially formulated medical adhesive to seal the faulty vein—no heat, no tumescent anesthesia, and minimal post-procedure compression.
Benefits of VenaSeal™:
- No need for multiple injections or heat
- Immediate vein closure
- Little to no bruising or swelling
- Fast return to normal activities
- Ideal for patients who prefer a no-heat, no-scar solution
Our vein specialists will help determine which option, ClosureFast™ or VenaSeal™ is best for your condition and goals.
