Varicose Veins is a common problem that can occur to the elderly and for young people exert too much pressure on your legs. While Laser Vein Removal is the best option that most people choose there are several things to consider when making such decisions?

What are varicose veins?

Veins are blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood back to your heart, after which it will be transported to the lungs to pick up more oxygen. The valves are used to ensure that blood - it has to defy gravity to find its way to the heart - follow flowing in the right direction. When these valves are damaged or weakened, the blood, instead of going back to the heart, it can accumulate in the veins. In the long run, this can lead to Varicose Veins. We all know what they seem: blue, ugly and bulky. Although varicose veins usually do not cause damage beyond dissatisfaction with their physical appearance, which can in some cases lead to pain, and even blood clots and skin ulcers. Itchy skin, swollen ankles and aching limbs are other possible complications

While varicose veins may be veins that appear throughout the body, are more commonly seen in the legs and feet? Some experts also call these veins “spider veins” and in fact you can see a bit like a spider web. Varicose veins are a common condition and women are more prone to them than men.

Understanding Varicose Veins: A closer look

The superficial veins that normally exist just below the surface of the skin are more likely to become varicose, as they have less than deep veins muscular support. In most cases, excessive pressure or very little effort or leg movement can lead to varicose veins. People who stand for long hours or suffering from obesity problems are much more likely to develop varicose veins.

The pros and cons of laser surgery for varicose veins

Excluding the vein was one of the most common methods used to solve varicose veins in the past, but things have changed today. With modern technology and equipment, most patients with varicose veins prefer Laser Vein Removal. During laser treatment for varicose veins, a burst of concentrated light is sent into the vein, causing damage and subsequent scarring of tissue. The scar formation closes the vein. Without access to the blood, the vein eventually dies, after which it is reabsorbed by the body and completely disappears.

There are two types of laser treatment of the vein; Simple treatment with laser and endovenous Laser Vein Removal. The basic premise of both procedures is the same: the vein is damaged, scar tissue develops, and dies. The blood used to flow through the vein objective is re-routed through other veins, but the patient cannot see if this process occurs. Laser surgery compared to the extraction method of the traditional vein, however.

Other than that, you also have to consider the total cost of treatment because the total cost of surgery will depend on several exams and tests to be submitted. You should always consult with your surgeon about the real cost of surgery to ensure that no additional costs later. Laser surgery for veins is faster and less painful, but it can lead to scarring and changes in skin color.

If the Laser Vein Removal is not performed by an experienced surgeon you can also burn the skin and lead to temporary nerve damage. In addition, the more likely early clinical recurrence in the near future.
