Aesthetic reasons, medical care

In vein care, we understand that people seek vein treatment for many reasons—discomfort, pain, and often, aesthetic reasons. But it’s important to remember that treatments for spider veins or varicose veins, as minimally invasive as they may be, are still medical procedures.

That’s why it’s important to be informed and go to a provider who is Board certified. The American Board of Venous & Lymphatic Medicine (ABVLM), formerly the American Board of Phlebology, was established in 2007 to improve the standards of medical practitioners and the quality of patient care related to the treatment of venous disorders and all aspects of venous disease.

The ABVLM also offers a Board Certification Exam, which ensures that physicians who specialize in phlebology (vein care) have met rigorous standards of education, experience, and evaluation.
