Understanding Varicose Veins

Do you notice swelling, heaviness, aches and discomfort in your legs, especially at the end of the day? It might be time to talk to us about varicose vein treatment. Varicose veins develop when weakened vein valves cause blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back to the heart, leading to bulging, twisted veins and uncomfortable symptoms.

Common Risk Factors

Several factors contribute to varicose veins, including:

Age – Veins lose elasticity over time
Genetics – Family history increases risk
Pregnancy – Hormonal changes and increased blood volume strain veins
Obesity – Excess weight puts pressure on veins
Prolonged Sitting or Standing – Reduces circulation leading to vein strain
Sedentary Lifestyle – Lack of movement weakens vein function

Advanced Varicose Vein Treatments

We offer a range of cutting-edge solutions to address vein health concerns, ensuring you receive the most effective, least invasive care possible.

Types of Treatment for Varicose Veins

Varithena

Varithena is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses a specialized foam to treat varicose veins, causing them to close and redirect blood flow to healthier veins.

Endovenous Foam Treatment (Foam Sclerotherapy)

This procedure involves injecting a foam sclerosant into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and be absorbed by the body. It is highly effective for larger veins, offering:

✔ Reduced downtime
✔ Minimal discomfort
✔ Excellent cosmetic results

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

EVLT is a minimally invasive procedure using laser energy to seal diseased veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.

Benefits include:

✔ Minimal discomfort
✔ No scarring
✔ Short recovery time
✔ Improved cosmetic results

VenaSeal

VenaSeal uses a medical adhesive to permanently seal diseased veins. This quick, no heat no surgery procedure results in:

✔ Immediate symptom relief
✔ No need for compression stockings
✔ Faster recovery

Prevention and Long Term Vein Health

While some risk factors like genetics and aging cannot be avoided, you can help maintain healthy circulation by:

Staying active and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing
Eating a balanced diet to support vein function
Managing weight to reduce pressure on veins

Even with these efforts, varicose veins can develop. Our team is here to help, offering personalized effective treatment options for long term vein health.
