More than 30 million Americans suffer from Varicose veins and the more serious form of venous disease called Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), yet only 1.9 million individuals seek treatment each year. Venous disease is more common than arterial disease, however Varicose veins effect one out of two people, age 50 and older, and 15-25% of adults. It is more common in females, after pregnancy.

If the disease is left untreated, Varicose veins can progress to become CVI with symptoms that can worsen over time. Fortunately, treating this disease early can halt its progression.
