Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose Vein Treatment is a medical procedure used to treat swollen, enlarged, and twisted veins—most commonly in the legs. These veins occur when blood flow becomes weak or valves inside the veins stop working properly.

Treatment helps improve blood circulation, reduce pain, and restore a healthier appearance of the legs.


Causes of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins can develop due to:

  • Weak or damaged vein valves
  • Standing or sitting for long hours
  • Pregnancy
  • Obesity
  • Aging
  • Family history

Symptoms

Common symptoms include:

  • Visible blue or purple veins
  • Pain or heaviness in legs
  • Swelling in ankles or feet
  • Burning or throbbing sensation
  • Night cramps
  • Itchy skin around veins

Treatment Options

1. Laser Treatment (EVLA)

A laser is used to close the affected vein from inside.

2. Radiofrequency Ablation

Heat energy is used to seal damaged veins.

3. Sclerotherapy

Severely damaged veins are surgically removed.
