CASE 2: Gerald
When Gerald first came to Allure Vein Center, he was 60 and dealing with
Type 2 diabetes, mild peripheral vascular disease, and diabetic neuropathy.
Being overweight and mildly arthritic was already making it difficult for Gerald
to get around, and his advanced varicose veins were making his situation
worse. Fortunately, several months and a series of treatments later, Gerald’s
problematic leg has shrunk back to its normal size, and his ulcers have healed.
GER ALD'S LEG BEFORE TREATMENT
GER ALD'S LEG AF TER TREATMENT
Gerald no longer needs to use
a wheelchair or a walker.
“Gerald is constantly active. I
can’t keep him inside the house
anymore,” says his wife Donna.
“He’s a different man.”
Gerald says that his leg no longer
keeps him up at night and that
he’s off of his pain pills. In short,
he has experienced a substantial
change in his quality of life.

venous insufficiency, and the minimally
invasive techniques they use have
a long-term success rate of over 99
percent.

stockings for two days following the
