The symptoms and appearance of veins will slowly get worse over time. As you age and become less active they can deteriorate leading to skin changes or even ulcers.
Even small veins can become painful and can undermine a person's confidence and self-esteem.
At Vein & Laser, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Simply vote down below.
Hi, I'm looking for someone with an interest in rock climbing for mutual support during indoor climbs. I'm wanting to go climb a couple of times per week if possible. Some experience would be great but not necessary. I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks so much to you and the other teachers for your amazing support during lockdown. Our boys absolutely loved the stories and songs you posted every day and even I found them very relaxing and therapeutic to listen too so good for whole household.
