Best rx. VV-Laser: Varicose veins are usually due to malfunctioning valves in the saphenous vein. The best treatment would be a venous reflux ultrasound to see if the valves work. If they leak then laser treatment is indicated. Think of your veins like a tree. What you see with the varicose veins are the branches, but these branches are due to a problem in the trunk(leaking valves). A laser can treat the trunk.
