Sclerotherapy
This non-surgical method to fight varicose veins by which the doctor, using a thin needle, inserts the dirty vein special substance. Such a substance is related to the vein on the inside, as a result of which it soluble and the bloodstream starts to go through the healthy veins. Sessions the number of the introduction of sclerosant may vary depending on the severity. And throughout the treatment the patient must wear a compression in the wash.

Laser treatment
This is one of the modern medical achievements, which allows to get rid of prevent varicose veins without surgery. Radiation, which generates a laser, "solder" dirty vein inside, closing it its lumen, and the cutting way of the blood movement, which will go deeper veins. Time out glued to the blood forming connective tissue, which later disperse.
This method the problem of more effective than sclerotherapy. It less traumatic surgery takes not more than 40 minutes and the patient can leave the clinic literally through 2 hours after the operation. No wonder, that the same treatment varicose veins laser the so-called "office surgery". In doing so, the skin incisions should be made only when you remove the large veins, then how small varikoossed veins are eliminated without tissue damage. Worth but remember that the price is this kind of operation is quite high.

And catheter has sensors that allow to monitor the performance of the requested procedure.
This method can compile a decent competition in the laser treatment, because it also does not require any incision on the skin, does not leave hematomas and takes place literally, for 30 minutes. Operation may be sick ago to meet its obligations. But the price is of such a procedure are high, even compared to laser coagulation.
Surgical removal
It is important to understand that in the case of eczema, thrombophlebitis, but also in venous ulcer treatment the above mentioned methods are not performed. Eliminate running varicose veins can only surgical removal of the veins. But also here all not so critical. The Arsenal of modern surgery is the microsurgical methods, which allow to remove the patient's vein through one small incision, with the scars after the procedure, just not the ice. Moreover, the new technology allows you to remove the painful veins literally 30-40 minutes.
Afraid of varicose veins is not necessary. On the contrary, the disease requires full attention to yourself, and the sooner the better. Timely detection and correct treatment method will allow without problems to eliminate disease and live a full life.
