Varicose Veins

What are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are diseased veins that are unable to return blood from the legs back to the heart and lungs. They appear as bluish knots or cords that commonly bulge beneath the skin surface of the legs and feet. This is a relatively common condition that, while not disabling can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as swollen ankles, itchy skin, tiredness, heaviness, leg pain and cramps. Varicose veins may lead to the formation of blood clots, ulcers, or inflammation of the vein walls. Occasionally trauma to the bulging varicose veins can also cause significant bleeding.

Diagnostic Services

Duplex scan:
Ultrasound imaging to look at blood flow within the veins. This is then used to diagnose blood clots and causes of swollen legs.

Treatment Services

Radiofrequency ablation of the veins:
A medical procedure commonly used to treat varicose veins in an outpatient setting. The procedure consists of inserting a catheter into the vein and then using controlled heat to close the vein.

Note: In spite of the above mentioned treatments, routine use of compression stockings and regular follow up is highly recommended for long lasting results.

Disclaimer: Individual results may vary depending on varicose vein severity, disease progression, skin tone, and number of treatments. Please note that the photos on this website are for illustration purposes only and results may vary from patient to patient.
