Varicose Vein RX: There are many successful treatment options for varicose veins. Seek consultation with a vein specialists (i.e. vascular surgeon). Depending on your anatomy & the size of the veins, options range from endovenous laser treatmetn (EVLT) to radiofrequency ablation (Venefit) to ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy to stab phlebectomy surgery. A vascular surgeon is best trained to offer you all the options.

Ablation: Laser ablation of incompetent (leaking) veins reroutes the venous drainage into healthy veins. This decreases the pressure in the skin veins back to normal and reverses the symptoms
