AB  - Lower  extremity  venous  disease  is  a  common  concern  among  dermatology  patients.  Leg  veins  are  visibly  present  or  symptomatic  in  greater  than  50%  of  the  adult  population,  with  approximately  25%  of  the  adult  population  suffering  from  varicose  veins.1,2  Among  individuals  with  varicosities,  more  than  one  quarter  suffer  from  superficial  venous  insufficiency  (SVI).1  There  is  a  direct  relationship  between  prevalence  of  varicosities  and  age  as  well  as  gender.  Among  those  less  than  25  years  of  age,  less  than  8%  of  women  and  1%  of  men  suffer  from  varicose  veins,  whereas  more  than  half  of  women  and  more  than  one  third  of  men  aged  65  to  74  are  affected.3
