As the weather warms up, outdoor adventures await, but so do your varicose veins. When you’ve been bitten by the travel bug and it’s time to embark on the thrill of a lifetime, make sure your legs are ready to go. If varicose or spider veins hinder you from hiking, swimming or moving about with ease, it might be time to see Dr. Jack Peterson at his Topeka practice.
Outdoor Vacay Preparations
When getting ready for a long journey or outdoor adventure, there is a lot to check off the list. From hiking boots to trail snacks and bug repellent to swimwear, there’s a lot you’ll need to have on hand. But if you are struggling with varicose and spider veins – swollen, bulging or twisted veins caused by inefficient vein valves – it is crucial to add one more item to your prep list: a visit to Dr. Peterson for advanced vein treatment. Eliminating or minimizing the appearance of varicose or spider veins can leave you confident and comfortable, allowing for a more enjoyable outdoor experience.
Vein Treatments
For those looking for a way to reduce the appearance of varicose and spider veins before their upcoming outdoor adventures, Dr. Peterson offers advanced, minimally invasive vein treatments. This includes Endovenous Thermal Ablation (EVTA), an advanced laser treatment that targets and closes faulty veins in the leg. A variety of other treatments can also be done, including sclerotherapy for spider veins and surface veins.
Dr. Peterson will create a tailored treatment plan just for you, taking into account your specific issues and outdoor plans.
Post-Treatment Recovery
After treatment, it’s time to heal and get ready for all the activities you want to enjoy outside. There will be some restrictions just after the treatment that should be followed. This means it might be better to plan outdoor activities that don’t require physical exertion for a while.
Make sure to get enough rest and hydration after treatment, while also taking prescribed pain medication. Once you’re cleared to do any physical activity, it’s time to prepare for all the fun ahead. Long walks, bike rides, pool time and even more intense adventures can all go on your agenda!

Following a successful and effective vein treatment, your legs can be ready for all types of outdoor activities.
