Varicose Veins Treatment

Varicose veins are veins that look bluish, dilated and are visible under the skin. In 95% of cases, they are located in the superficial venous network, drained by saphenous veins that originate at the foot; this is why varicose veins are most often formed on the legs.

Varicose veins, also called varicosities, that are finer and appear as small filaments are called telangiectasia or spider veins.

Varicose veins can cause pain, heaviness or heat, as well as itching, cramping or swelling. If left untreated, varicose veins can cause more serious complications, such as phlebitis and skin ulceration. Varicose veins also increase the chances of developing a deep venous clot which can significantly impact your health.
