What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are veins that got enlarged and swollen, raised above the surface of the skin. It develops due to vein valves that are no longer working properly to prevent the blood to pump to the heart and lungs. As a result, blood pools in the veins and causes them to get larger. They appear be dark purple or blue, and look twisted and bulging. Varicose veins affect 1 out of 2 people over age 50. They are more common in women than men. Some varicose veins can be painful and torturing but for others, it could only be cosmetic nuisance. Pregnancy is associated with an increase in blood volume. Also, added pressure on the veins in the legs by the weight of the growing uterus and the relaxation effects of the hormones estrogen and progesterone on the vein walls contribute to the development of varicose veins during pregnancy. Women who are on birth control pills may also develop varicose veins due to the hormonal changes in the body.

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.
