The vascular system is comprised of the heart, arteries, and veins. Veins are blood vessels that return blood from the body to the heart. To overcome the force of gravity, inside the veins are one-way valves, which open to allow blood flow to the heart, and close to prevent reflux of blood back to the body. When the valves fail to function, or if the vein is compromised so the valves do not completely close, blood can begin to pool in the vein causing a host of complications. Foam Sclerotherapy is commonly used for treating spider veins and small varicose veins. It involves the injection of foam made up from an FDA-approved sclerosing solution, which causes chemical endovenous ablation of the vein, which collapses and diminishes in appearance. Compression hose is highly recommended post-treatment. The advantages are no scarring and smaller veins disappear, while the downside is brownish discolourations, allergic reactions and the rare development of skin ulcers. Principle The EVLT™ Procedure deals with the incompetence of the greater saphenous veins. Unlike surgical stripping, EVLT permanently closes off the vein while leaving it in place. It uses the energy from a 1480 nm diode laser delivered by a fine fibre-optic probe. As it is only the probe and a slim sheath which need to enter the vein the whole procedure is performed via a tiny skin nick, so there will be no postoperative scarring. The probe is guided into place using ultrasound and the procedure is performed under strictly local anaesthetic of a similar type used by the dentist to numb the treatment area. Historically, patients with varicose veins were recommended conservative treatment options. Conservative treatment options refer to a non-invasive form of treatment, where medications and surgery are not used to treat varicose veins. Patients can make lifestyle changes, such as eating less, exercising more and wearing support hoses (stockings). This regimen has proven helpful in reducing leg pain and further deterioration of the venous system. Conservative treatment will not remove existing abnormal veins, but it may be the treatment choice for patients that may not be able to undergo other treatment methods. There's no way to prevent varicose veins. But improving your circulation and muscle tone can reduce the risk of developing varicose veins or getting additional ones.
