What are Varicose Veins?

Enlarged and tortuous, varicose veins are known as the veins that commonly appears in the leg, although it could occur elsewhere. They appear to be dark purple or blue, and look twisted and bulging. When veins become varicose, the leaflets of the valves no longer meet properly, and the valves do not work. This allows blood to flow backwards and they enlarge even more. Besides cosmetic problems, varicose veins are often painful, especially when standing or walking. less invasive treatments, such as ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser treatment, are slowly replacing traditional surgical treatments. Due to hormonal changes, varicose veins can occur to women as well as those taking oral contraceptives.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
EndoLaser Vein System is an advanced technique that began in 2001. Unlike surface lasers which have several limitations, ELVeS literally heats the vessel from inside the vein. It is indicated for patients who have reverse blood flow (reflux) originating high in the leg at the sapheno-femoral junction.
Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy
All diseased veins - from the largest of varicose veins to the tiniest of spiders - are caused by abnormal leakage of blood through faulty valves located inside veins deep beneath the surface of the skin. Over time, this abnormal leakage of blood, also called reflux causes veins visible on the skin surface to dilate and turn into diseased veins we call varicose veins and spiders.
 Veinlite Sclerotherapy
When treating spider veins it is crucial to locate and close any and all feeder vessels. These are blue-green in color and are called reticular veins. If untreated, spider patches can often become subject to early recurrence. These feeder vessels can often originate 4-8 inches away from a zone of spiders.
