Low-Pain Varicose Vein Treatment Alternative
Surgical stripping of the veins used to be the main method of treating varicose veins that were caused by superficial venous reflux disease. While this process is still used, you might be glad to know that there is an alternative treatment rising in popularity which is a lower-pain alternative to surgical stripping. The treatment, called The VNUS Closure Procedure, is a less-invasive surgery which allows it to not only cause less discomfort but also to allow for quicker healing.
The VNUS Closure Procedure does what it sounds like it does, closing off the problematic veins rather than actually stripping them from the body. This means that your doctor doesn't have to do as much work, making the procedure less time-consuming and therefore less costly. Just like with the surgical stripping, the VNUS closure procedure takes care of the problems caused by venous reflux and reduces the appearance of varicose veins.
