dangerous?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Most aren't an emergency, but they're rarely \\u201cjust cosmetic.\\u201d They're often a sign of underlying venous reflux that tends to progress, and if left alone for years can lead to skin changes, swelling, bleeding, or slow-healing leg ulcers. A quick screening tells you where you stand.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will varicose veins go away on their own?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. The faulty valve that causes them doesn't repair itself, so varicose veins tend to stay and slowly worsen over time. The good news is that today's treatments are quick, done in the office, and close the vein so it stops causing problems.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does treatment hurt, and is there downtime?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Today's vein treatments are done in the office through a tiny pinpoint or fine needle, with local numbing. Most patients feel little more than a pinch, walk out the same day, and return to normal activity right away, often with just a week of compression stockings.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are varicose vein treatments covered by insurance?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Often, yes. When your veins cause symptoms like aching, swelling, or skin changes, treatment is usually considered medically necessary and covered, including by Medicare. After your free screening we verify your benefits and explain any cost up front.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do I know which treatment is right for me?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It depends on which veins are involved and what your ultrasound shows. Many patients need a closure procedure for the underlying vein, sometimes paired with sclerotherapy or phlebectomy for surface veins. Your specialist builds the plan with you at your visit.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What happens if I just leave them alone?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Some people live with them comfortably for years. But because the underlying pressure doesn't go away, symptoms and skin changes can build gradually.
