VV Treatment: Varicose veins are due to leaking (refluxing) valves usually in the saphenous vein system. The gold standard is to have a venous reflux exam and then seal the leaking valves with a closure procedure. The chances of recurrences of veins is about 2-3 % over 5 years. The treatment is very successful for both relief of symptoms and improvement in appearance. See a vein specialist.
