Is Varicose Vein Treatment a Cosmetic Surgery?

The answer that most people commonly expect to hear is that the varicose veins are ugly and the vein removal will improve the appearance of their legs. However, the actual answer given most often is probably that varicose veins hurt and they want to get rid of that pain.
