“I was up and moving around immediately following the (Closure) procedure. The next day, I no longer had the heaviness in my legs. The success of the treatment was apparent immediately” Ila’s symptoms began at the age of 24 during her pregnancy. She experienced “leg pain, especially when standing for long periods of time.” She was “self-conscious about the wormy like (varicose) veins and was uncomfortable wearing shorts and skirts.” Vein problems are common in Ila’s family. Both her mother and sister were treated with traditional vein stripping and were left with noticeable scars and persisting symptoms. Ila sought a treatment that would be less invasive. Dr. Harper recommended the Closure procedure. Ila was confident in Dr. Harper’s recommendation and was pleased to find out that her insurance covered 100% of the cost. The procedure was performed with local anesthesia and minimal sedation. Ila stated, “I was comfortable throughout the procedure and aware of my surroundings.” Ila was active right after the procedure and has resumed recreational activities including golf, tennis, and swimming. She stated, “I’d highly recommend Vein Specialists of the South and the Closure procedure.*
