Varicose Vein Treatment After Pregnancy

Why Pregnancy Causes Varicose Veins

During pregnancy, your body works harder to support both you and your baby. This can lead to:

• Increased blood volume putting pressure on veins
• Hormonal changes that relax vein walls
• The uterus pressing on major blood vessels
• Weight gain and reduced circulation in the legs

While some varicose veins improve after childbirth, many persist—and can worsen with subsequent pregnancies if left untreated.

Common Symptoms After Pregnancy

If you’re noticing these symptoms, treatment may help:

• Enlarged, twisted, or bulging veins in the legs
• Leg pain, throbbing, or heaviness
• Swelling in ankles or calves
• Night cramps or restless legs
• Skin discoloration or irritation

Safe, Effective Treatment Options for Moms

We offer non-surgical, outpatient procedures that are safe for women after pregnancy. Our vein specialists will determine the best approach based on your timeline, symptoms, and whether you’re breastfeeding. Options include:

• Sclerotherapy – gentle injections to close small varicose or spider veins
• Cutera Laser – a minimally invasive laser treatment for unsightly spider veins
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – heat-based treatment for larger veins
• Microphlebectomy – removal of visible surface veins through tiny incisions

Each treatment is designed for fast recovery, so you can get back to caring for yourself and your family.
