You're so Vain

Often times I read articles criticizing the work of vein experts, claiming that they like their beauty counterparts - dermatologists - are reaping the benefits of elective cosmetic procedures. However what these so called pundits fail to realize is that venous disease - varicose veins, spider veins and Deep Vein Thrombosis - are not only very serious health issues they are definitely not cosmetic based. You're so vain for thinking vein health issues are cosmetic related. Many patients unlucky enough to be plagued with ropy and painful varicose veins knows they seek out treatment not for cosmetic purposes but rather to ease and remedy their pain.
The cosmetic surgery and anti-aging dermatology industries may be taking a hit during the downturn, but vein health clinics still remain booming, because 40 million Americans have varicose veins and must treat their ailing legs promplty.
