The Benefits of a Mini-Phlebectomy

Varicose veins are effectively the result of veins not working as they should be. Those experiencing varicose veins might have trouble walking and carrying out necessary daily activities. What’s worse, a lack of necessary daily motion can lead to gradual weight gain, which further worsens the condition of the individual’s veins.
