September 15, 2016. Covington, LA. La Bella Vita Laser and Vein Center releases a new article in which they explain why swollen legs and ankles shouldn't be ignored. Many people who experience chronic swelling in their extremities think that it's just a "sign of aging" and that they can safely ignore it, but this noted Louisiana vein doctor explains that chronically swollen legs and ankles are often an early symptom of vein disease, and if left untreated, that disease is only going to get worse.

According to Dr. Randall S. Juleff, medical director of one of the best New Orleans vein treatment centers, "failing to seek treatment for swollen legs and ankles increases the likelihood that the symptoms will escalate. If the swelling is caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), not seeking treatment could quickly result in the development of varicose veins or worse, deep vein thrombosis."

This New Orleans vein specialist hopes that his article will reach a wide audience and help them to understand that failing to seek treatment for swollen legs and ankles could be a tremendous mistake, one that may hold them back in life.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options

The vein disease conditions varicose veins and spider veins affect many women and men in the U.S. The smaller, red-to-purple colored spider veins are located close to the surface of the skin and tend to present mostly cosmetic problems. Varicose veins, however, tend to be bigger in size and appear as more swollen, tangled and blue in color. Varicose veins can be painful, and may limit a patient’s activities.


In the past, patients with varicose veins or spider veins faced invasive, often painful treatment options. But today, advances in technology give patients a number of minimally-invasive and virtually painless options for effective vein treatment. Some of the best treatments to eliminate problem veins with few side-effects or downtime include sclerotherapy, endovenous laser therapy, endovenous radiofrequency ablation, microphlebetomy, and other laser treatments.
