Stay Hydrated, Keep Your Veins Happy! 💧

Did you know that proper hydration plays a key role in vein health? Staying hydrated helps improve blood circulation and prevents the blood from becoming too thick, reducing the strain on your veins. This is especially important for those with varicose veins or vein disease!

By drinking enough water, you can support healthier veins, reduce swelling, and ease some symptoms of varicose veins. At Medical Vein Clinic™, noninvasive treatments are designed to treat the root cause of vein issues while enhancing your overall well-being.

💥Varicose veins impact millions of people aged 40 to 80, causing pain and potential health risks like blood clots and ulcers. At Medical Vein Clinic™ in San Antonio, our minimally invasive treatments can alleviate these symptoms.

👉Years ago, varicose veins were treated by vein stripping, which was a highly-invasive procedure. Patients were put to sleep using general anesthesia and recovery often took six months or more.Thankfully, we’ve come a long way in treating varicose veins.

💫The treatments we offer at Medical Vein Clinic™:
👉Are without surgery
👉Only local anesthetic applied to numb legs
👉Patients walk in and walk out/drive home

Here's a peek into our new clinic in Alamo Ranch --a little tour courtesy of our CEO and Founder, Dr. John Hogg.

Since we opened our clinic doors in 2017, we’ve helped 1,000’s of people---and their legs----feel and look better.

People tell us that our clinic seems more like a spa than a medical clinic. That is by design. We want our patients to feel relaxed and cared for. We're here for you in San Antonio in two locations: North Central San Antonio, 622 Isom Road, and Northwest San Antonio, 5742 W. Loop 1604 N.
