Varicose Vein Treatment: Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results
Varicose veins are a fact of life for most people once they reach middle age and beyond. These unattractive, bulging, purplish veins can be more than unsightly – they can also cause pain, heaviness and discomfort in the areas where they occur. Varicose veins are caused when tiny blood vessels near the skin’s surface malfunction, usually as the result of age, weight gain, or other underlying conditions. Fortunately, today there is a wide range of treatment options that can make your ugly varicose veins a thing of the past.
Unlike treatments of even just a decade ago, today’s varicose vein treatments are designed to garner maximum results without disrupting your busy schedule. Popular procedures like are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to resume your regular routine with little or no downtime.
Endovenous ablation is an especially good option for men and women looking to treat their veins in a simple procedure that doesn’t involve any recovery time. In endovenous ablation, laser or radiofrequency energy is used to treat the tiny blood vessels that have begun to malfunction, closing them off to blood flow and preventing the bulging, unsightly appearance and discomfort that are the hallmarks of varicose veins. Because these tiny veins are superficial, closing them produces no health risks, and blood flow is automatically diverted to nearby vessels with no impact on overall circulation. The procedure itself is quick, usually performed on an outpatient basis, and requires only local anesthetic to help avoid discomfort. Most individuals are able to return to their regular daily activities immediately following the procedure, and results become visible soon after treatment, with complete fading occurring during the days and weeks following the procedure.
Varicose veins will not resolve on their own; they require treatment by an experienced professional. Talk to your clinician today about the simple, easy treatment option available to help make your veins disappear.
