Which Treatment Option Is Best For Your Varicose Veins?

Find out which Varicose Vein Treatment is best for you.
Vein treatment is not nearly as bad as it sounds.
All I want is for you to have the same positive vein treatment experience that I had.
But first, looking for a doctor that specializes in vein treatment is a top priority.
Make sure your doctor has a certification from the American Board of Phlebology (vein doctors).
I do not want you to visit vein website after vein website and still be confused about what to do.
When I started my varicose vein treatment search, I had no idea there would be so many choices.
Just imagine this for a moment if you can.
Great Saphenous Vein, Chronic Venous Insufficiency, Venous Reflux Disease and Endovenous Laser Treatment.
What in the heck does all this medical terminology mean? There are many procedures available to you, the varicose vein patient.
some of the treatment options offered in United States include the newest ELVeS® (Endo Laser Vein System) to the old painful vein stripping surgery.
To narrow my search, I first had to decide which treatment option would be best for me.
Not being into pain, I looked for a minimally invasive procedure which produced excellent results.
The ultrasound guided Endo Laser Vein system (ELVeS®) was exactly what I was looking for.
Treatment Options: As you may already know, not all legs are created equal...
your vein doctor will guide you to the proper procedure just for your leg(s).
Take your time and ask many questions.
Here are a few common treatment options for you to consider.
1.
The traditional form of treatment for varicose veins is surgical ligation and stripping.
This invasive procedure can be expensive, leave scarring, and require general anesthesia, hospitalization, and a lengthy recovery period.
2.
A second form of treatment called Sclerotheraphy, involves injecting a solution into the veins that causes the vein walls to swell, stick together and seal shut, turning the vein into scar tissue.
Sclerotherapy is relatively less effective on larger veins, but may be used as a complimentary treatment after laser ablation to treat any small residual veins.
3.
A third form of treatment -- endovenous laser treatment -- is relatively new, and has replaced stripping in most of the severe varicose vein cases.
The ELVeS procedure is a preferred form of endovenous laser treatment: it combines the effectiveness of surgery with the minimally invasive, in-office ease of sclerotheraphy, ELVeS is a safe, in office procedure that uses fewer injections, less local anesthesia and offers a quick recovery time.
I chose #3 and my laser procedure was completed in less than an hour; the time most of you take for lunch.
