Varicose Vein Treatment

Treatment Options for Varicose Veins by Dr Sumit Kapadia

No two patients have the same vein problem. Dr Sumit Kapadia always begins with a detailed duplex ultrasound scan to map damaged veins and understand their severity before recommending the best treatment for varicose veins.

Here are the advanced treatment options for varicose veins available at this clinic:

EVLT (Endovenous Laser Treatment)

• Procedure: A thin laser fibre is inserted into the damaged vein through a tiny, needle-sized opening under local anaesthesia. Laser energy heats the vein wall from the inside to seal it shut, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
• Benefits: Highly effective, minimally invasive alternative to surgery with a closure rate exceeding 95%.
• Recovery Time: You can walk immediately post-procedure and return to normal routine in 1 to 2 days.
• Ideal Candidate: Patients with medium to large varicose veins showing valve failure on ultrasound.

RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation)

• Procedure: A specialised catheter delivers controlled radiofrequency thermal energy inside the diseased vein, precisely sealing it shut with minimal heat impact on surrounding tissues.
• Benefits: Precise, gentle closure with significantly less post-procedure bruising and discomfort compared to traditional heat techniques.
• Recovery Time: Same-day discharge where you can resume normal work and activities within 2 to 3 days.
• Ideal Candidate: Patients with larger varicose veins looking for a gentle, precise sealing option.

VenaSeal (Glue Treatment)

• Procedure: A medical-grade adhesive is administered directly into the vein through a catheter, instantly bonding and sealing the vein shut without heat.
• Benefits: Completely non-thermal, eliminates the need for multiple local anaesthesia injections along the leg, and usually allows patients to skip wearing post-procedure compression stockings.
• Recovery Time: Resume daily activities immediately on the same day.
• Ideal Candidate: Patients seeking a virtually painless, non-heat-based treatment with zero downtime.

Sclerotherapy

• Procedure: A liquid or foam sclerosant solution is injected into smaller target veins, irritating their inner lining and causing them to collapse, seal, and gradually fade over several weeks.
• Benefits: Quick, in-clinic procedure requiring no anaesthesia or incisions.
• Recovery Time: Immediate return to daily activities with no downtime.
• Ideal Candidate: Patients with spider veins or smaller surface branches (often used as a secondary treatment alongside EVLT or RFA).

 Microphlebectomy

• Procedure: Bulging surface veins are physically removed through micro-incisions (about 2 to 3 mm) using tiny specialised instruments, where stitches are rarely required.
• Benefits: Immediate removal of visible, protruding veins with negligible risk of scarring.
• Recovery Time: You can begin light activity within 24 hours and full normal activity within 1 week.
• Ideal Candidate: Patients with large, rope-like surface varicose veins protruding visibly on the skin.

Compression Therapy

• Procedure: Medical-grade, graduated compression stockings apply targeted pressure to the legs to push blood upward toward the heart and prevent fluid pooling.
• Benefits: Reduces swelling, relieves leg aching, and supports healthy circulation naturally.
• Recovery Time: Non-invasive supportive care with no recovery downtime required.
• Ideal Candidate: Used as supportive care before/after procedures or for patients pursuing conservative non-surgical management.

Advantages of Varicose Vein Treatment

Choosing a modern, minimally invasive treatment offers advantages that go far beyond aesthetics, directly restoring comfort and vitality to your everyday routine.

Key benefits of varicose vein treatment include:

• Faster Recovery & Minimal Downtime: Most patients walk out the same day and return to work within 1 to 3 days without extended bed rest.
• Immediate Pain Relief: Closing faulty veins relieves persistent leg heaviness, aching, throbbing, and nighttime calf cramps.
• Improved Blood Circulation: Redirecting blood into healthier, deep veins reduces ankle swelling and fluid buildup.
• Cosmetic Improvement: Enlarged, twisted, blue or purple surface veins gradually collapse and fade, bringing back visual confidence.
• Prevention of Complications: Timely intervention stops progressive damage like skin darkening, spontaneous bleeding, and non-healing leg ulcers.
• Improved Quality of Life: Enjoying pain-free movement lets you return to daily walking, hobbies, and work without constant leg fatigue.
• Advantages of Laser Treatment & Modern Options: Procedures require only a needle-sized opening, ensuring no surgical scarring and high long-term closure rates.

When to See a Doctor?

Many people delay visiting a specialist because they assume varicose veins are just a cosmetic nuisance, but ignoring progressive symptoms can lead to severe complications. Watch for these warning signs:

• Persistent leg pain, heaviness, or throbbing that worsens by evening.
• Ankle or lower leg swelling that does not settle with rest.
• Skin discolouration near the ankle turning brown or dark.
• Non-healing leg ulcers or open sores on the lower leg.
• Spontaneous bleeding from a varicose vein after a minor bump.
• Symptoms getting noticeably worse over weeks or months.
• Recurrent nighttime leg cramps and restlessness.

Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent leg pain, swelling, skin changes, bleeding veins, or ulcers. Early diagnosis helps prevent serious complications and enables simple, minimally invasive treatment before the condition progresses. If any of these signs sound familiar, schedule a consultation with a vascular specialist like Dr Sumit Kapadia.

Procedure for Treating Varicose Veins

Recovery and Care After Varicose Vein Treatments

Recovery from varicose veins is smooth for most patients. You might feel mild tightness or slight soreness for a few days, but that settles quickly. Recovery after laser treatment or other procedures typically takes 3 to 7 days, though many people return to desk work the very next day. 

Good aftercare for varicose veins is what ensures lasting results and a smooth return to your normal routine.

Treatment Cost

Varicose vein treatment cost in India depends on the procedure, condition severity, hospital, and equipment used. Below is a general range for EVLT cost in India and other common options. Laser treatment cost for varicose veins can vary based on individual case complexity.

Costs are approximate. Insurance may cover procedures deemed medically necessary. Contact the clinic for an exact estimate.

Duplex Ultrasound Scanner

• Purpose: Maps the leg’s vein anatomy, identifies failing venous valves, and guides procedures in real time.
• Advantages: Non-invasive, highly accurate diagnostic mapping without radiation exposure.
• Patient Benefit: Ensures pinpoint precision during treatment for safer, target-specific outcomes.

Endovenous Laser System

• Purpose: Delivers precise thermal laser energy through a thin fibre to collapse and seal diseased veins.
• Advantages: Over 92%-95% long-term closure rate with minimal surrounding tissue disruption.
• Patient Benefit: Requires only a needle-sized opening, leaving zero surgical scars and ensuring quick recovery.

Radiofrequency Ablation Catheter

• Purpose: Applies uniform, controlled radiofrequency heat inside the target vein to close the lumen.
• Advantages: Uniform heat delivery provides gentle closure with reduced thermal impact on adjacent nerves.
• Patient Benefit: Significantly less post-procedure bruising, tightness, and soreness.

VenaSeal Closure System

• Purpose: Administers a specialised medical-grade adhesive directly into the target vein to bond it shut instantly.
• Advantages: Completely non-thermal treatment eliminating the need for multiple tumescent anaesthesia injections.
• Patient Benefit: Virtually painless procedure that typically eliminates the need to wear heavy compression stockings afterwards.

Sclerotherapy Injection Kit

• Purpose: Injects a liquid or foam sclerosant solution into spider veins and small tributary branches.
• Advantages: Quick, office-based procedure requiring no incisions or local anaesthesia.
• Patient Benefit: Rapid fading of surface spider veins with zero recovery downtime.

Medical-Grade Compression Stockings

• Purpose: Provides graduated, calibrated pressure from the ankles upward to assist venous return.
• Advantages: Naturally decreases venous hypertension and prevents blood pooling in the lower legs.
• Patient Benefit: Eases daily leg aching, lowers swelling, and supports smooth post-procedure recovery.
