Laser Varicose Veins Surgery

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and prominent veins in the lower limbs caused by valve failure at the sapheno-femoral junction and leg perforators. This leads to blood pooling and poor venous return, resulting in visible veins and leg discomfort.

Causes

Varicose veins commonly occur due to prolonged standing or sitting, especially in occupations such as:

• Bus conductors
• Hawkers
• Shopkeepers
• Surgeons
• Tailors
• IT professionals

Symptoms

Early symptoms are often ignored but may include:

• Dull, aching pain in the calves by evening
• Visible, dilated leg veins
• Itching or eczema
• Skin darkening
  If left untreated, it can progress to non-healing varicose ulcers, usually on the inner side of the ankle.

Treatment

• Initial stages: Managed with lifestyle changes and Class-1 compression stockings
• Advanced cases: Require surgical intervention

Traditional methods like sclerotherapy or ligation and stripping were effective but had limitations.

Now, laser treatment offers a modern solution:

• Minimally invasive
• Sutureless and scarless
• Performed as a day-care procedure with no overnight hospital stay
• Faster recovery with excellent cosmetic and clinical results
