Varicose Veins Treatment
Varicose Veins Treatment
Varicose veins occur when veins—most commonly in the legs—become enlarged, twisted, and overfilled with blood due to weakened valves or poor circulation. This can lead to visible bulging veins, aching pain, swelling, and a heavy sensation in the legs. It often affects people who stand or sit for long periods, pregnant women, or those with a family history of vein disorders.
More About Varicose Veins
Procedure Details
Minimally invasive treatments like EVLT or sclerotherapy target the damaged veins internally, sealing or collapsing them so blood can reroute through healthy veins. The procedures are typically done under local anesthesia and take less than an hour.
Recovery
Most patients can return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Mild bruising or discomfort is temporary and can be managed with compression stockings and light walking.
Effectiveness
Modern treatments offer over 95% success rate in symptom relief and appearance improvement. Most patients experience long-lasting results after a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, and enlarged veins, most commonly found in the legs. They occur when vein valves become weak or damaged, leading to poor blood flow and pooling of blood.
What causes varicose veins?
They are usually caused by:
- Prolonged standing or sitting
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Genetics (family history)
- Hormonal changes or aging
What are the symptoms of varicose veins?

Aching or heaviness in the legs

Is varicose vein treatment painful?
Most modern treatments are minimally invasive and nearly painless, done under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
How long does it take to recover after treatment?
Patients usually resume normal activities within 1–2 days. Full recovery and visible improvement are seen within 2–4 weeks, depending on the method used.
Will the varicose veins come back?
Treated veins are permanently sealed or removed, so they won’t return. However, new varicose veins can develop over time, especially if risk factors persist.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Minor side effects may include bruising, swelling, or temporary skin color changes. Rarely, blood clots or nerve irritation can occur, but expert care reduces these risks.
Is the treatment covered by insurance?
If the varicose veins are causing pain, swelling, or complications, insurance often covers the treatment. Cosmetic-only cases may not be covered. Our team helps with insurance paperwork.
