Laser Treatment of Varicose Veins

Varicose Veins: Causes, Symptoms, and Modern Treatments with Laser and Sclerotherapy


What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, and enlarged veins that often appear blue or dark purple. They usually occur in the legs and feet due to standing pressure.
Although they may seem like only a cosmetic issue, varicose veins can cause pain, swelling, and serious complications if not treated on time.

Why Do Varicose Veins Develop?

Veins have tiny valves that help blood flow smoothly toward the heart. When these valves become weak or damaged, blood starts pooling in the vein — causing it to swell and twist.

Here's how it works:

• Persistent pain and discomfort
• Skin ulcers or wounds
• Bleeding from ruptured veins
• Formation of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis)

Early treatment prevents complications and restores your comfort and confidence!

Treatment Options: Laser and Sclerotherapy

At Karan Hospital, we offer two modern, safe, and effective treatments based on your vein condition:

1. Laser Treatment (Endovenous Laser Therapy - EVLT)

✅ A thin laser fiber is inserted into the faulty vein.
✅ Laser energy gently seals the vein from the inside.
✅ Blood is rerouted to healthy veins.
✅ The closed vein shrinks and fades naturally over time.


Advantages:

• Minimally invasive
• Done under local anesthesia
• No big cuts or stitches
• Same-day walk-in, walk-out procedure
• Fast recovery (back to routine in 1–2 days)

2. Sclerotherapy

✅ A special solution (sclerosant) is injected into the small or medium varicose veins.
✅ The solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to stick together and close.
✅ The treated vein gradually disappears over a few weeks.


Advantages:

• Best for small veins and spider veins
• Quick, simple, outpatient procedure
• No surgery needed
• Excellent cosmetic results

How Do We Choose Between Laser and Sclerotherapy?


✅ Laser is usually chosen for large, deeper varicose veins.
✅ Sclerotherapy is preferred for smaller, surface-level veins or residual veins after laser treatment.
✅ In some cases, both treatments are combined for best results.

The decision is personalized based on:

• Size and location of veins
• Symptoms (pain, swelling, ulcers)
• Ultrasound vein mapping
• Patient’s general health and lifestyle

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Varicose Veins Treatment

No, laser treatment is generally painless and done under local anesthesia. You may feel mild pressure but no significant pain.

You might feel a slight pinch during the injection. There may be mild itching or redness afterward, which usually settles quickly.

Most patients can walk immediately and resume work within 24–48 hours after laser or Sclerotherapy.

Yes! Compression stockings help the veins heal faster and improve treatment success. You may need to wear them for a few weeks.

The treated veins usually close permanently. However, if your risk factors continue (like standing long hours or genetic tendency), new veins can develop over time — which can also be treated easily.

• Wear compression stockings
• Keep your legs moving with gentle walking
• Avoid heavy exercise for about a week
• Keep follow-up appointments
