Sclerotherapy is one such treatment in which a small or medium sized varicose vein is injected with a solution that closes and scars affected veins. It’s a very effective procedure, if undertaken with accuracy at your doctor’s clinic, even without anaesthesia.
Laser Treatment helps in closing smaller and spider varicose veins with help of latest technology. It’s done by passing strong light bursts into your veins, which fades the veins and slowly disappears it. This treatment is done without needles or incisions.
Procedures undertaken with radiofrequency or laser known as catheter assisted treatments are also effective in curing varicose veins. A thin tube, using radiofrequency or laser energy, is inserted in your enlarged vein with a heated tip of the catheter. The vein is destroyed by collapsing and sealing it with heat, as soon as the catheter is removed.
Vein stripping and high ligation is a procedure that involves joining a deep vein and removing it, after tying it, through small incisions. The procedure is an outpatient case in most situations. Removing few veins won’t affect the blood circulation as larger veins in the legs will cover up for the lost veins.
