Varicose Veins Treatment
What Are Varicose Veins?
Endovascular treatment is now the preferred method for treating varicose veins, with advanced options such as thermal ablation (laser or radiofrequency) and Venaseal closure offering effective, minimally invasive solutions.
Varicose veins are not only a cosmetic concern but can also cause discomfort and medical complications if untreated.
Common Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Patients may experience:
- Bulging, twisted veins in the legs
- Leg pain or heaviness
- Swelling in legs or ankles
- Burning or throbbing sensation
- Night cramps
- Itching around veins
How the Procedure is Done
- Local anesthesia is given.
- A tiny catheter is inserted into the affected vein.
- "Either thermal ablation (laser or radiofrequency energy) or Venaseal closure (medical glue treatment) closes the abnormal vein from inside".
- Blood flow shifts to healthy veins.
- Patient walks immediately after treatment.
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Treatment
- No major surgery
- Minimal pain
- Same-day discharge

- Follow-up ensures proper recovery.
When Should You Seek Treatment?
Consult a specialist if you notice:
- Persistent leg pain or swelling
- Enlarged visible veins
- Skin discoloration
- Non-healing wounds near ankles
- Leg heaviness affecting daily activity
Early treatment prevents complications.
