About Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen and enlarged veins that usually occur on the legs and feet. They may be blue or dark purple, and are often lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance.
Any vein that is close to the skin’s surface (superficial) can become varicose veins. Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. That’s because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins of the lower body.
Causes of Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are caused by a number of factors, including:
Genetics: Some people have a genetic predisposition to developing varicose veins, which means that the condition tends to run in families.
Age: As people grow older, the valves in their veins can become weaker, leading to the development of varicose veins.
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy, puberty, and menopause, can also increase the risk of developing varicose veins.
Obesity: Excess weight can put extra pressure on the veins, causing them to enlarge and become varicose.
Prolonged standing or sitting: People who stand or sit for long periods of time, such as those in certain jobs, can be at increased risk of developing varicose veins.
Trauma: An injury to the leg can damage the veins and increase the risk of developing varicose veins.
Blood clots: Blood clots can also cause veins to enlarge and become varicose.
Stages of Varicose Veins
It is important to seek treatment for varicose veins, even in the early stages, because they can progress and cause complications such as blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, or skin ulcers. Treatment options include lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight management, and compression stockings, as well as medical procedures such as VenaSeal, or sclerotherapy. Our doctors can help you determine the best course of action based on the severity of your varicose veins and your overall health.
Stage 1
Spider Veins (Telangiectasias)
Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are small, thin veins that appear near the surface of the skin. They are usually red, blue, or purple and resemble a spider web or tree branches. Spider veins are often a cosmetic concern and may cause mild discomfort, but they generally do not lead to significant health issues.
Stage 2
Reticular Veins
Reticular veins are slightly larger than spider veins and are usually blue or green. They are located deeper under the skin than spider veins but are still visible. Reticular veins can be more uncomfortable and may be associated with a dull aching or burning sensation, especially after standing for long periods.
Stage 3
Trunk Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are larger, swollen veins that have lost their valve function, causing blood to pool and veins to become enlarged and twisted. They often appear as bulging, blue or purple veins on the legs. Symptoms include aching pain, heaviness, throbbing, and itching. The discomfort is usually worse after prolonged standing or sitting. Varicose veins are a more serious stage of venous insufficiency and can lead to complications if untreated.
Stage 4
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
As varicose veins worsen, they can cause chronic venous insufficiency, edema or swelling, of the lower leg. The ineffective blood flow leads to fluid leaking into the surrounding tissues, causing the legs to swell, especially around the ankles. Edema may be more pronounced at the end of the day or after long periods of standing. This stage indicates more advanced venous insufficiency.
Stage 5
Venous Ulcer
Venous ulcers are the most severe stage of chronic venous insufficiency. They are open sores that usually develop around the ankle, where the skin has become thinnest due to prolonged venous insufficiency. Venous ulcers are often painful and can be slow to heal due to poor blood circulation. They pose a significant risk of infection and require medical attention to prevent further complications.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
The following are some of the common symptoms of varicose veins:
Visible, bulging veins: The most noticeable symptom of varicose veins is the appearance of bulging, twisted veins on the legs or feet.
Pain: The affected area may be painful or tender to the touch, especially after standing or sitting for long periods of time.
Swelling: Varicose veins can cause swelling in the affected area, particularly at the end of the day or after prolonged periods of standing.
Fatigue or heaviness: Some people with varicose veins may experience a feeling of tiredness or heaviness in the legs.
Itching or burning: The skin around the affected veins may itch or burn, particularly in warmer weather.
Skin changes: In some cases, the skin around the varicose veins may become discolored, thin, or dry, and may even develop sores or ulcers.
Muscle cramps: Some people with varicose veins may experience muscle cramps, particularly at night.
Treatments of Varicose Veins
The Vein Center has a long history of successfully treating varicose veins, and its medical professionals are highly skilled in identifying the most appropriate treatment option for each patient’s individual needs. We have an extensive experience in treating varicose veins using a range of techniques, including endo venous laser ablation and vein stripping. We are always looking to most advanced and effective treatment options for our beloved patients. Check our evolution in terms of varicose veins treatment below and find out why we are Introducing and promoting VenaSeal treatment.
Vein Stripping
From 2008 to 2012, we were following the traditional vein stripping method to treat the varicose veins. Disadvantage of vein stripping is that it is an invasive procedure that requires general anaesthesia, which can increase the risk of complications. The procedure can cause scarring, pain, and a longer recovery period compared to other minimally invasive treatments. That's why we stopped doing vein stripping and adapted in to Endo Venous Laser Ablation
- Multiple Pricks
- Stockings Needed
- Recovery in Months
- Sedation Needed
- Open Surgery
- More Recurrence Chances
Endo Venous Laser Ablation
From 2012 to 2018, we have opted the Endo Venous Laser Ablation procedure to treat Varicose Veins. We have successfully treated thousands varicose veins patients with Laser procedures. Due to the nature Laser Ablation which is thermal, there were many cases of recurrent Varicose Veins. Later we have treated all of them successfully with VenaSeal procedure. Currently we recommend all of our patients to choose VenaSeal over LASER.
- Multiple Pricks
- Stockings Needed
- Recovery in Days
- Sedation Needed
- Minimally Invasive but Thermal
- More Recurrence Chances
VenaSeal Closure System
From 2018 to present we are treating the varicose veins patients with VenaSeal Closure System procedures. Compared to Laser Ablation we can openly say that “VenaSeal is the Most Modern and Effective treatment for Varicose Veins and Venous Ulcers in the current time”. We have received many appreciation and recognition at International level for the innovative and self made treatment protocols we developed with VenaSeal Closure System.
- Single Prick
- No Stockings Needed
- Recovery in Same Day
- No Sedation
- Minimally Invasive, Non-Thermal
- Less Recurrence Chances

Comparison Between VenaSeal and RFA/LASER
When it comes to treating varicose veins, especially in elderly patients or those with high-risk factors, choosing the right procedure is critical. The three main treatment options available today are VenaSeal, Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT), and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). Each of these methods has its own advantages, but VenaSeal stands out as the superior choice, particularly for elderly high-risk patients dealing with varicose veins and venous ulcers.
