Do you have a venous ulcer or sore on your leg or ankle?
Did you know that over 60% of ulcers on the legs are due to vein disease?
If you have an ulcer or have had one in the past, you should have your veins evaluated now.
Early vein treatment can help to heal your wound faster, cheaper, and help to prevent it from coming back again.
Venous Leg Ulcers
Even though most leg ulcers are due to vein problems, many people do not realize the connection. Most doctors are still handling venous ulcers the wrong way and sending patients for wound care. Multiple studies published over the past 15 years in prominent medical journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine and The Journal of the American Medical Association, have proven the following:
Venous ulcers heal faster when the cause of the ulcer, venous insufficiency, is treated.
Venous ulcers do not usually come back when the venous insufficiency is treated. When the venous insufficiency is left untreated, 50% of the wounds will recur within a year.
Treating the veins with ablation within 2 weeks of diagnosing a venous ulcer saves a lot of money - approximately $2,681. If you have an ulcer and wait to see if it goes away without vein treatment, you are literally wasting money in addition to causing an extended period of pain.

Most doctors have outdated thinking and refer patients with venous ulcers to wound care centers without referring them for vein treatment. This is wrong and only delays healing, cost money, and contributes to wound recurrence. Even if your wound has healed, you should be evaluated for venous insufficiency to see if there is a venous component. Treatment will help to prevent another wound.
Venous Stasis Dermatitis
If you’re experiencing skin discoloration or rashes around your ankles, it could be a sign of stasis dermatitis, which is caused by skin irritation from blood pooling at the skin surface. This condition can cause redness and itching. It is important to treat the veins at this phase so that the condition does not worsen and form ulcers on the legs.
