What are
Varicose
Veins
Arteries deliver blood from heart to other parts of the body whereas veins require additional pumping mechanisms to deliver blood from body back to heart to counteract the force of gravity. The transport of blood back to the heart by the calf muscle is supported by the valves in our veins.
When the valves are not functioning properly, blood tends to collect and pool in the leg, causing the vein to damage. Varicose veins are abnormally swollen or enlarged blood vessels under the skin in the leg, which have lost their elasticity due to vein valves damage. It is prone to bleeding and ulcers.

The skin becomes thinner and brown discoloration appears as a stain on the skin. This occurs because of blood leaking from the blood vessels and into the skin tissue. Oedema and skin changes are both present. Because the skin is now quite fragile, extra care must be taken to not cause trauma through friction, for example scratching the skin.

Varicose veins are traditionally treated with Vein Stripping Surgery, which requires a cut in the groin area under general anaesthesia to tie off the vein. A few incisions are made to isolate the vein and the whole vein is stripped or pulled off.
Radiofrequency Therapy is one of the methods in treating varicose veins, which involves insertion of a catheter into the vein and heating up the interior wall of the vein using radio waves. The vessel wall and neighbouring connective tissue denature and contract.

Laser Varicose Veins is a modern technology using laser energy to treat the defective veins through complete closure of the vein.
A unique 360 circular energy emission fine laser fiber is inserted into the vein, under ultrasound guidance, laser pulses are delivered inside to seal the varicose veins.
