Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are twisted and swollen blood vessels that bulge underneath the skin’s surface. These bulges are generally purple or blue and appear on the lower half of the body around the legs, ankles, or feet. While Varicose veins do not pose severe health risks, they can still cause discomfort and pain, preventing you from continuing your daily activities.     

The medical treatment for varicose veins starts with a physical examination and an ultrasound to map your veins properly. This helps the doctor understand how your nerve valves are working and determine the root cause of the problem. Based on this diagnosis, the doctor will recommend the proper approach to treatment for varicose veins. Some of the most popular of these treatments include:   

• Sclerotherapy: This is one of the most common Varicose vein treatments. Doctors inject a specialized solution into the veins, causing the vein walls to shrink and stick together, turning them into scar tissue that fades away with time.
• Elastic Stockings: This treatment requires supportive stockings or socks to compress your veins and reduce discomfort. The compression prevents the vein from stretching, further enabling seamless blood flow.
• Laser Therapy: Also known as endovenous thermal ablation, laser therapy for Varicose veins is a minimally invasive procedure. The doctor makes a small incision to insert a catheter and sends laser rays to heat the affected vein and close it permanently.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): This specialized and advanced treatment requires no incision. Instead, our experts will use radio waves to heat the affected vein, create scar tissue, and seal it. RFA for Varicose veins will ensure seamless blood flow for quick pain relief.
