Varicose Veins Treatment:
Commonly, varicose veins can be effectively treated using methods such as:
- Ligation and stripping
- Sclerotherapy
- Laser varicose veins surgery (simple and endovenous)
- Radiofrequency treatment
- Endothermal ablation
- Ambulatory phlebectomy
Our varicose veins doctors at Pilotheal often recommend and perform laser treatment, which is a safe and cost-effective option associated with minimal risks, complications, and bleeding.
There are two main types of laser surgeries:
Simple Laser Treatment: This approach is suitable for treating small varicose veins and is performed externally. It typically requires multiple sessions spaced 6 to 12 weeks apart. During this treatment, laser heat is used to damage the vein, leading to the formation of scar tissue that obstructs blood flow, ultimately causing the vein to fade away.
Endovenous Laser Treatment: Specifically designed for addressing large varicose veins in the legs, this procedure involves numbing the surgical area and inserting a catheter with a laser fiber into the affected vein. The laser generates heat, which closes and shrinks the vein. After completion, incisions are sealed with dressings.
