Varicose Vein Treatment Options Explained

Discover modern, minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins with faster recovery and excellent cosmetic results.

Dr. Feliciano Serrano
Vascular Specialist

Varicose veins affect up to 35% of adults. While sometimes considered cosmetic, they can cause significant discomfort and lead to serious complications if left untreated. Modern treatments are minimally invasive with excellent results.

Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop when vein valves weaken, allowing blood to pool and veins to bulge. Common symptoms include:

Visible bulging veins
Leg pain and heaviness
Swelling in legs or ankles
Itching or burning sensation

Treatment Options

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

The gold standard for treating larger varicose veins. A laser fiber is inserted into the vein to seal it closed.
