Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins close to the skin’s surface. They look bad and they can feel even worse. Varicose veins most commonly affect veins in the legs where pressure from gravity is the greatest. Repetitive and common activities like standing and sitting for long periods, along with a history of pregnancy or obesity, all can increase the pressure on the veins in the lower body.
But varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern, they are almost always a sign of a deeper vein issue. Varicose veins can lead to aching, discomfort, itching and bleeding. And if left untreated, varicose veins can bring on more serious problems such as blood clots and skin ulceration.
There are a number of different treatments for varicose veins, from medications to surgeries. Our team at Colorado Skin & Vein creates a custom treatment plan just for you, developed to maximize both comfort and effectiveness. We’re so confident in our ability to get you the best cosmetic and clinical results that we always guarantee our work.
The most effective treatments for varicose veins involve closing the damaged veins just below where they enter into the deep system veins. We offer procedures such as endovenous radio frequency ablation (EVRF) and endovenous laser ablation (EVLA). These treatments allow for safe and localized treatment to damaged vessels without affecting any of the neighboring tissue.
Â
VenaSeal is another groundbreaking option. For this treatment, the vascular team seals your damaged vessels using a specialized medical grade surgical adhesive.
Â
Diseased vessels may also be treated with medications like Polidocanol foams such as Varithena. This medication is very effective in closing smaller or more tortuous vessels. It is injected into the diseased vessel, denaturing the proteins in the cellular walls of the vein. Once these are closed, the blood is redirected into healthy vessels.
Â
Microphlembectomy is a procedure that removes superficial veins through tiny 1-2mm incisions. This procedure is commonly done at the same time as the ablation of deep vein leading to the varicosity while the limb is anesthetized. Especially in cases of large, bulging vessels, physical removal of the vein provides the quickest and most beautiful results.
Outside of healthier looking skin, treating varicose veins lowers your risk of developing serious health issues such as blood clots and skin ulceration, not to mention the reduction of more everyday aches, pains and fatigue. Imagine going to the beach and being excited to not just show off your legs, but to have the energy and comfort to run along the sand or swim in the ocean!
