“ When my legs were bothering me, I was feeling old, but now I feel like I’ m 35 again. It’ s wonderful!”

“ My job [ at an orthodontist’ s office and cleaning service ] is easier now, because I can be on my feet longer,” says Cheryl.“ There’ s less soreness— I can get up and move around faster."
Prior to her vein treatments, Cheryl had been taking Motrin ® regularly to try to control the pain and puffiness, but over-the-counter pain medications weren’ t helping.
“ At Allure I had two injections in each leg— a total of four appointments,” she says.“ The very same night, walking finally felt comfortable again. I even went to work the next day. About four months later, I felt an even bigger change. The swelling was down, and my legs didn’ t hurt at all.”
patient stories: varicose veins
Their leg pain had gotten so bad that they started doing research and learning about vein treatments. It didn’ t take long before they found Allure Vein Center.
“ Being a chef means you’ re on your feet all day and you don’ t have time to sit and elevate. Gravity was really putting pressure on my varicose veins. I knew I needed to get rid of my pain and symptoms.”

“ Years ago, I had the old-school procedure done— I checked into a hospital, they gave me an IV and knocked me out, and they stripped my veins away,” he says.“ It was barbaric, and it was three or four days before I could get around again.” When he had his legs treated at Allure, there was no downtime.“ It was very manageable— I was right back to work the same day. When I had an 11:30 appointment, the staff immediately got me rolling, and I was in and out in less than an hour and a half.”
“ Even right after the procedure, I only took minimal pain meds. I had a little bit of inflammation and bruising, which is typical. But now I don’ t take any kind of pain meds for my legs at all. I don’ t have‘ cankles’— swollen ankles— like I used to. The inflammation is gone.”
