Varicose Veins Treatment Options at Flowcare
Varicose veins are a common condition that can affect anyone, characterized by twisted, enlarged veins, typically in the legs. These veins can cause discomfort, swelling, and a heavy sensation. Flowcare offers a range of effective, minimally invasive treatment options to alleviate symptoms and improve overall vein health.
Understanding Varicose Veins: Causes and Symptoms
Causes
Varicose veins develop when veins become weak or damaged. Factors like genetics, aging, obesity, prolonged standing, and pregnancy increase the risk. Poor blood flow through the veins causes blood to pool, leading to swollen, enlarged veins visible on the skin surface.
Symptoms
Common symptoms of varicose veins include aching, throbbing, itching, swelling, and a sensation of heaviness in the legs. For some, varicose veins may lead to skin discoloration, ulcers, or blood clots if left untreated.
Flowcare’s Comprehensive Varicose Veins Treatment Options
Flowcare offers state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatments to address varicose veins effectively. Here are some of the options available:
-
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
This popular treatment uses laser energy to target and close off affected veins. A laser fiber is inserted into the vein, which seals the vein shut as it’s slowly withdrawn. This technique offers fast relief and a short recovery time, allowing patients to return to daily activities quickly. -
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA involves heating the vein walls to collapse and seal the damaged vein, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. Like EVLT, RFA is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery, making it a preferred choice for those seeking effective treatment without major surgery. -
Sclerotherapy
Flowcare also offers sclerotherapy, where a medical solution is injected into smaller varicose veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade. This is commonly used for spider veins or smaller varicose veins and can enhance the cosmetic appearance of the legs. -
VenaSeal
The VenaSeal procedure uses a specialized medical adhesive to close off varicose veins, with no need for incisions or anesthesia. This advanced treatment is effective and quick, with minimal downtime, making it a popular option for those looking for a non-thermal, minimally invasive approach. -
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
For larger veins close to the skin surface, ambulatory phlebectomy might be recommended. This outpatient procedure involves tiny incisions to remove the varicose veins directly. It’s an effective option with minimal scarring and allows for a quicker recovery compared to traditional vein surgery.
