FREE Varicose Vein Screening

Do you have tired, swollen, or painful legs?


If so, please join us for a FREE varicose leg screening on Saturday, March 2nd from 10:00a-3:00p at the Northshore Mall in Peabody. At the screening our Brigham and Women's board certified physician may identify a vascular condition which qualifies you as a candidate for new minimally invasive technologies that can successfully treat this condition in less than an hour. Brigham and Women’s Vein Care specialists, experts in the symptoms of varicose vein conditions, will be on-hand to discuss treatment options. Up to 40 percent of women and 25 percent of men suffer from varicose veins. With the right care and the latest treatment options, varicose veins can be eliminated without surgery - quickly, comfortably and safely. As specialists in symptomatic varicose vein treatment, we offer a full range of treatment options.


Varicose vein treatment is covered by most health insurance plans.
