How to Treat Varicose Veins

Did you know that varicose veins can be removed permanently using safe and simple medical procedures? Whether you've suffered with the symptoms of varicose veins for the majority of your life, or are just now starting to see the first signs of trouble, Medical Aesthetics can provide you with a fast, affordable, and efficient treatment today. From laser therapy to Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy, Medical Aesthetics has a solution that's right for you.

Home treatments for varicose veins

Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy patients are encouraged to try a number of home remedies prior to scheduling a varicose vein treatment at Medical Aesthetics. Regular exercise and elevating your legs is often enough to help reverse the symptoms of varicose veins. Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy patients can also wear compression stockings in order to help increase the blood flow to the area and enhance circulation.

Minimally invasive treatments to consider

If home treatments aren't enough to help alleviate the pain and embarrassment caused by varicose veins, don't worry - there are a number of minimally invasive treatments currently available. These include Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy, laser treatments, and radio frequency ablation. The first two options are the most popular and both are available at Medical Aesthetics.

• Sclerotherapy: Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy treatments involve the injection of a sclerosant chemical directly into the varicose vein. The solution works to damage the vein, resulting in a build up of scar tissue. This build up eventually causes the vein to close; once the scar tissue has dissipated, the varicose vein will no longer be visible.
• Laser treatment: Laser energy is used in this treatment to scar and destroy varicose veins. This is known as ablation in the medical world. Endovenous laser therapy involves inserting the laser fibre directly into the vein. This treatment works similar to our Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy procedure as it closes the vein and prevents future discomfort.

If you have large, persistent varicose veins, you may wish to discuss radio frequency treatment options with a practitioner at Medical Aesthetics. This is a new form of ablation therapy and may not be suitable for your varicose veins. Ligation and stripping treatments are also a possibility; however, this treatment is significantly more painful that Windsor Ontario sclerotherapy.

How to decide on a treatment

There are a number of factors that must be considered before deciding upon a varicose vein treatment. These include the size and severity of your veins, as well as your genealogy. Some people are more likely to develop varicose veins than others, and this is a factor that should be considered when discussing treatment options.

Treatment may be more difficult for deep veins or perforating veins (veins that connect superficial veins to deep veins). These veins may require surgery in order to treat them properly.
