Laser Treatment:
Nowadays, doctors use laser treatment to seal off the smaller spider and varicose veins. The laser treatment sends strong waves of light on the vein, which slowly destroys the vein. After the slow fading and disappearance of the vein, there is no need for needles or incisions. The use of laser treatment is less painful and saves plenty of time for the patient too.
Foam sclerotherapy:
In this procedure, the doctor injects a foam solution into the larger veins, closing and sealing the vein. This procedure is a recommendation for larger varicose veins.
Vein stripping and high ligation:
In this procedure, the surgeons remove the varicose vein with the help of making a small incision. The surgeon first ties of the vein before this vein meet with the deep vein, and then surgically remove the veins. By removing the vein, there is no significant adverse effect on the blood circulation of the leg because the doctor is not removing the deeper veins responsible for blood circulation throughout the legs.
Catheter-assisted treatments by using laser or radiofrequency:
In this procedure, the doctor uses a thin catheter and inserts it into a bulging vein and then heats the tip of the catheter by either using laser energy or radio frequency. Once the doctor pulls out the catheter from the enlarged vein, the heat damages the vein by making it collapse. The doctors suggest this treatment for patients with larger varicose veins.
