Why Laser Treatment is the Best Solution for Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are one of the common health issues that plague the lives of numerous people, especially those who are in the habit of spending more time either standing or sitting. Varicose veins look swollen, twisted, and usually have a bluish or purplish hue, most commonly occurring in the legs. Although this condition is viewed by some people as merely cosmetic in nature, varicose veins can also lead to pain, feelings of weight, and circulation issues if not treated properly.
With the recent advances in medical science, new and technologically advanced treatments have been introduced to effectively treat varicose veins. In this context, one of the most reliable and sought-after treatments for varicose veins is laser treatment. Patients seeking varicose vein laser treatment in Jaipur are increasingly opting for laser treatments because of their reliability and quick recovery.
Common Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Many patients tend to overlook the initial signs of varicose veins. Nevertheless, it is important to be aware of the early signs of the condition to ensure early treatment.
• Visible bulging of the twisted veins on the legs
• Aching sensation in the legs
• Swelling of the lower legs and ankles
• Burning sensation in the affected part of the body
• Muscle cramps, especially at night
• Itching sensation on the affected part of the body
• Discoloration of the skin on the affected part of the body
What is Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins?
The treatment method used in the removal of varicose veins is referred to as Laser Treatment or Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT).
In this method, the doctor inserts a thin fiber into the affected vein using ultrasound imaging. The fiber carries a laser, which produces heat used to close the affected vein internally. Once the vein is closed, the blood will be directed to other veins in the area.
The closed vein will eventually be absorbed by the body.
The method does not involve incisions in the skin, hence providing patients with a safe and comfortable way to get rid of varicose veins.
Why Laser Treatment is Considered the Best Solution
Laser treatment has turned out to be one of the most preferred treatment options for varicose veins because of the various advantages that come with it.
Minimally Invasive Treatment
Unlike conventional treatment, which involves a lot of incisions, laser treatment only requires a small puncture, thus minimizing the damage to the veins.
Faster Recovery Time
One of the greatest advantages of laser treatment is the short recovery time, as a person can walk immediately after treatment and get back to their daily activities in a short time.
Less Pain and Discomfort
Since it is a minimally invasive treatment, patients do not feel much pain or discomfort during the treatment, as is the case with conventional treatment.
High Success Rate
Laser treatment has a high success rate in sealing the damaged veins, thus improving blood flow in the legs.
Improved Cosmetic Appearance
Besides relieving the symptoms, laser treatment also improves the cosmetic appearance of the legs, as the enlarged veins are minimized.
No Major Surgery Involved
Laser treatment for varicose veins does not involve any major surgery, such as the conventional procedure known as vein stripping, which makes it a more convenient option for patients.
Recovery After Laser Treatment
Recovery from Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is normally fast and easy. Patients are able to resume their normal activities in a day or two.
Some doctors recommend wearing compression stockings for a few weeks during the healing process.
Patients are also advised to:
• Engage in walking activities for healthy blood flow
• Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time
• Avoid vigorous activities for a short time
• Follow all instructions carefully after treatment
With good care, patients normally start noticing positive changes in a few weeks.
