Varicose veins aren't always just a cosmetic issue. At Central Kansas Vein Clinic, Dr. Kovtoun is pleased to offer the VNUS Closure® procedure for comprehensive management of vein disease. The Closure procedure is a minimally invasive treatment alternative for patients with a condition known as superficial venous reflux, which often results in varicose veins and other painful symptoms.
Varicose veins are known for their distinctive blue color and bulging appearance under the skin. They afflict an estimated 10 to 20 percent of the adult population. In the United States, that translates into 20-25 million people, the majority of whom are women.
