What are varicose veins?
HOW ARE VARICOSE VEINS TREATED?
Treating varicose veins depends on the severity of the condition, the presence of symptoms, and the individual’s overall health. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and elevating the legs can often alleviate mild symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening. For more persistent or severe cases, medical interventions may be necessary.
ENDOVENOUS LASER ABLATION (EVLA)
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a modern, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins and other venous conditions. This procedure uses targeted laser energy to heat and seal the affected vein, effectively closing it and redirecting blood flow to healthier veins nearby. Performed under local anesthesia, EVLA is renowned for its high success rates, quick recovery times, and ability to replace more invasive surgical methods for treating venous insufficiency. While it is a safe and effective option for many patients, consulting a specialist is crucial to determine whether EVLA is the right solution for your specific condition..
SCLEROTHERAPY
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves the injection of a solution directly into the affected vein, causing the vein to scar and collapse. Over time, the collapsed vein is reabsorbed by the body and fades from view. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically does not require anaesthesia, making it a popular choice for patients seeking treatment for venous conditions. Sclerotherapy is effective for improving both the cosmetic appearance of problematic veins and alleviating symptoms such as pain, swelling, and cramping.
Consulting a healthcare professional is crucial to determine the most appropriate course of action tailored to individual needs.
