Varicose veins
Varicose veins
Veins are vessels responsible for returning blood from the organs to the heart.
There are two types of leg veins: superficial and deep. If the valves in the superficial veins become damaged and blood flow through these dilated veins is not properly regulated, the veins gradually become prominent, twisted, and enlarged. This leads to an increase in diameter and an unsightly appearance of the lower limbs, a condition known as varicose veins.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
This condition is relatively common and can lead to prominent veins, a sensation of heaviness and fatigue in the legs, leg swelling, skin discoloration, mild pain, and, in advanced cases, the development of leg ulcers.
Causes of Varicose Veins
Age, gender, family history of inheritance, pregnancy, obesity, prolonged standing, or sitting in a fixed position for an extended period.
Varicose Vein Treatment
Previously, the most common treatment method was surgery, which required anesthesia and hospitalization, bringing along its own specific challenges.
Currently, newer methods have replaced surgery.
Laser and RF
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and without anesthesia.
A thin and flexible laser or RF fiber is inserted into the vein through a small incision in the skin and is withdrawn from the vein while emitting laser or RF waves.
In this way, the defective vein is closed in a short time, and the varicose veins improve.
Foam Sclerotherapy
Veins with a diameter greater than 1.5 millimeters cannot be treated with laser light.
In such cases, using specialized medications that are injected into the veins with extremely fine needles under Doppler guidance, these veins are eliminated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does RF work in the treatment of varicose veins?
Radio waves, when directed at the walls of dilated veins, cause the vein walls to adhere to each other, leading to the closure of the unhealthy vein.
What happens after varicose veins are blocked?
Blood flows through healthy superficial and deep veins, and only unhealthy veins are closed.
What is the success rate of varicose vein treatment with RF?
In 97% of cases, improvement occurs after the first session, and if necessary, with repeated treatment, the success rate reaches 100%.
What are spider veins, and how are they treated?
Visible superficial capillaries on the skin are generally not dangerous and are treated using microsclerotherapy or laser therapy. In 97% of cases, improvement is observed after the first session, and if necessary, repeated treatments can achieve a 100% success rate.
How is microsclerotherapy performed, and what are its side effects?
The sclerosing agent is injected into the capillary using a fine needle, and it may cause mild and temporary discoloration.
What role does laser play in the treatment of spider veins?
Laser works by generating heat in extremely fine capillaries that cannot be injected, leading to their blockage and eventual elimination.
In what cases is foam sclerotherapy used, and does it require rest?
It is used for veins with a diameter of more than 1.5 millimeters, and there are no restrictions on daily activities after the procedure. However, the injection site will be bandaged for approximately three days.
