A vein disease that affects the veins near the surface of the leg is known as superficial venous disease. This condition develops gradually, often over years and leads to symptoms such as heaviness, cramping, itching, swelling, leg fatigue, and restless legs. Some patients with this condition may develop varicose veins or spider veins.

Left untreated, superficial venous disease can lead to worsening symptoms as well as complications such as thick, leathery skin, hyperpigmentation, and open sores/ulcers. These symptoms can hinder a patient’s quality of life, making it important to treat this condition right away.

Dr. Majeed specializes in a variety of superficial venous therapies and can help patients relieve their symptoms and prevent worsening.
