If your parents, grandparents or friends have undergone varicose vein treatment, you may have heard horror stories. Older forms of vein treatment like vein stripping are painful and arduous, making them unappealing options for most patients. However, today’s medical technology makes these older procedures obsolete. Disregard the tales of pain you have heard. You can get rid of varicose veins without experiencing any pain.
How can Manhattan, NY patients experience pain-free vein treatment?
Looking at the bulging, twisted varicose veins or small blue torturous spider veins, you may wonder how such a problem could be treated without any pain. However, both problems can be dealt with in a minimally invasive and comfortable manner.
Most forms of vein treatment use methods that do very little to break the skin. This combined with the application of a local anesthetic makes them pain-free. Unlike vein stripping, which requires several surgical cuts to be made in the leg, modern vein treatment methods require merely the insertion of a needle.
One of the standard treatments for small, fine spider veins is sclerotherapy, which requires only the use of the smallest needle. This needle is inserted into a diseased vein where it delivers a special solution, which seals those veins making, therefore, them invisible. The varicose veins will likely require so-called “endovenous ablation”, for example endovenous LASER therapy or radio-frequency obliteration. During this treatment a special, slightly bigger than the smallest needle, soft wire is being inserted into a problematic vein for delivery of either LASER light or radio-frequency waves. In either case, upon completion of the procedure, the treated veins are being absorbed by our body and fully disappear.
