Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins in the legs caused by faulty valves and prolonged standing. They can lead to pain, skin changes and even non-healing ulcers. Our clinic offers comprehensive diagnosis and minimally invasive treatments to help relieve symptoms and restore quality of life for patients with varicose veins.
Varicose veins are dilated, enlarged and twisted veins that are usually seen in the legs. These abnormal veins develop when the blood that is supposed to return from the legs to the heart flows backward and pools in the veins. Over time, this backward flow (called reflux) causes the veins to bulge, twist and become visible just under the skin.
Many patients notice varicose veins as blue or purple swollen veins, sometimes accompanied by a heavy feeling in the legs, pain after standing or skin darkening near the ankles. If left untreated, varicose veins can progress to cause bleeding, skin ulcers and non-healing wounds, especially around the ankle.
To understand varicose veins, it’s important to know how blood flows in our body:
Veins in the legs have one-way valves that keep the blood flowing upward, against gravity. These valves work with the help of surrounding muscle contractions (especially calf muscles) to push blood upward. However, when these valves weaken or stretch due to pressure, the blood leaks backward and pools in the veins, leading to varicose veins.
This usually worsens while:
Varicose veins are more common in:
Some patients notice only mild symptoms, while others experience more severe problems:
While we can’t always prevent varicose veins (especially if there’s a genetic tendency), we can reduce the risk and slow their progression with a few lifestyle changes:
You should consult a vascular specialist if you have:
Early intervention can prevent complications and offer a wider range of treatment options.
Thankfully, treatment has advanced significantly. Gone are the days when painful surgeries and long recoveries were the only choices.
Today, we offer minimally invasive, daycare-based procedures that are effective, safe, and cosmetically acceptable.
These are office-based procedures done under local anesthesia or sedation. The goal is to seal the faulty veins from inside, so blood flows through healthier veins.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Endovenous Glue Therapy
Microwave Ablation
Sclerotherapy
Treatment targets faulty veins — once closed, they don’t reopen. However, new varicose veins can develop in other normal veins over time due to aging, standing or poor habits. That’s why:
are essential to maintain results and prevent recurrence.
Not all varicose veins are harmful, but they can lead to ulcers, bleeding, and even deep vein thrombosis if ignored for long.
Not necessarily. Many patients are managed with stockings and minimally invasive techniques like laser or glue ablation.
Modern endovenous treatments are performed under local anesthesia and are well tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Most patients can resume walking on the same day and return to light work in 2–3 days.
Accurate diagnosis to customized treatment plans — all under one roof. Whether you’re struggling with pain, non-healing wounds, or just want to improve the appearance of your legs, we are here to help. Book an appointment today and take the first step toward healthier, pain-free legs.
