5 Reasons Not to Fear Varicose Vein Surgery

People who are suffering with varicose veins are often afraid that the only way to treat them is through traditional varicose vein surgery. Many people have heard of painful vein stripping surgery, where varicose veins are removed by a surgeon through a number of incisions, and requiring a lengthy recovery time post-operatively.

However, minimally invasive laser surgery for varicose veins is now available. Laser surgery is the gold standard for treating varicose veins, providing relief for those experiencing varicose veins bleeding, aching, pain, heaviness, itching, burning, leg restlessness, leg cramps, throbbing and swelling.

Treating varicose veins with this modern therapy provides many benefits, including these five important ones.

• Laser therapy not only minimizes the unsightly appearance of varicose veins, but also can provide relief from its symptoms.
• Treatment can be performed right in the doctor’s office in only 10-20 minutes per session and produces immediate results in most patients.
• The procedure is virtually painless with little to no recovery time needed.
• This safe, effective, FDA approved treatment, can eliminate as many as 50–80% of treated veins after just a few sessions. Because no scalpels or sutures are utilized, there are no long-lasting scars or keloids. 
• Varicose veins that cause symptoms are a medical problem, and most major health insurance carriers provide coverage for the treatment of vein disease and venous insufficiency when medically necessary. 

The ongoing pain and discomfort of varicose veins can now be replaced by this virtually pain-free vein procedure. Varicose veins are not simply a cosmetic issue. They are a medical condition which can cause an increased risk for other complications such as skin ulcers or blood clots.
