What is Varicose Vein?

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins lying in the superficial skin layer, caused by abnormal vein valves, circulated blood that is refluxed and congested in veins. Moreover, prolonged sitting or standing, being overweight, and regularly high heels wearing are other main causes of this problem.

The Treatments

• Vein stripping is suitable for large and long varicose veins and patients who are unable to treat by sclerotherapy.
• Laser therapy is suitable for varicose veins smaller than 2.5 mm. It can be done in the face and all of your body.
