Free Seminars in Bakersfield to Explore Latest in Vein Treatment

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Aug. 10, 2016 - PRLog -- Did you know that 50% of women & 40% of men will suffer varicose & spider veins sometime in their lives?  In addition to being unattractive, the veins can be quite painful and cause numbness, weakness and fatigue.   If left untreated, varicose veins can even be dangerous as, in some cases, they have been known to result in blood clots leading to heart attacks and strokes.

To learn more about vein-related conditions and the latest treatments, West Medical is conducting one-on-one consultations at its office in 9900 Stockdale Hwy, Bakersfield. Reservations are required 855 525-6237.

According to vein removal expert Hooman Shabatian, M.D., founder and medical director of West Medical, varicose veins are unsightly, large, raised and swollen blood vessels that typically develop in the legs.  Spider veins are smaller, red, purple and blue vessels that are easily visible though less prominent than varicose veins and often appear on the legs and face. The most vulnerable to developing these vein conditions include:

·      Those whose family members suffer from pronounced veins

·      Occupations that involve prolonged standing (e.g., nurses, retail clerks, hairstylists, teachers, factory workers)

·      Overweight/obese men and women

·      Pregnant women

·      Those experiencing hormonal changes

·      Women taking birth control pills

·      Those experiencing increased pressure of the abdomen caused by tumors, constipation and garments like girdles.

"There is a new arsenal in the treatment of both varicose and spider veins," said Shabatian. "These pain-free treatments can be performed in less than an hour and are both effective and require no recovery time.  In many cases, the veins disappear right then and there."
