Varicose veins – when are they more than just a cosmetic issue?

Varicose veins are common and often harmless, but sometimes they’re a sign that your veins aren’t working as they should.

If you’re experiencing aching, heaviness, swelling, or skin changes in your legs, it may be time to take action. These symptoms can indicate that your varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern — they could be affecting your circulation and quality of life.

Don’t ignore the signs. Catching the problem early can prevent further complications and make treatment easier and more effective.

Know the warning signs and what to do next

Not sure when to worry about varicose veins? Watch out for symptoms like persistent leg pain, itching or burning around the veins, darkening of the skin near the ankles, or open sores (venous ulcers).

These signs can point to chronic venous insufficiency — a condition that won’t go away on its own.If you’re experiencing any of these, or if your veins are getting worse over time, it’s worth speaking to a specialist.

At UK Vein Care, our experienced doctors offer gentle, effective treatments with lasting results — no referral needed.

Early treatment makes a difference

Many people wait too long before seeking help for varicose veins — but the earlier you take action, the better the results. Modern treatments are quick, gentle, and highly effective, often performed in under an hour with minimal recovery time.

If you're unsure whether your symptoms are worth worrying about, a professional evaluation can give you peace of mind — or help you get the treatment you need to feel better.
