When is varicose vein surgery recommended?

Surgical or minimally invasive treatment is recommended when:

• leg pain, swelling, or pressure worsens,
• varicose veins continue to progress,
• conservative treatment (compression stockings, lifestyle changes) does not provide relief,
• patients experience significant aesthetic concerns.

A detailed duplex ultrasound examination is essential to assess the venous system and determine the most appropriate treatment method.

Modern varicose vein treatment options

Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA / EVLT)

Laser treatment for varicose veins is one of the most effective methods for treating larger, insufficient veins. A thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser energy seals the vein, which is then gradually absorbed by the body.

Key benefits:

• Outpatient procedure
• Minimally invasive technique
• Fast recovery time
• High success rate
• Minimal scarring

Patients usually return home the same day and resume normal activities within a few days.

Aesthetic miniphlebectomy

Miniphlebectomy is ideal for removing visible surface varicose veins. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia through tiny skin punctures, allowing the surgeon to remove the damaged veins safely and precisely.

Advantages:

• Excellent cosmetic results
• Nearly invisible scars
• Quick healing
• Can be combined with other procedures

This method is especially suitable for patients seeking aesthetic varicose vein removal with minimal downtime.

Sclerotherapy for varicose veins

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive injection treatment primarily used for smaller varicose veins and spider veins. A special solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and gradually disappear.

Suitable for:

• Small surface veins
• Spider veins
• Complementary treatment after laser therapy

Compression therapy is typically recommended after the procedure to optimize results.

VenaSeal™ closure system

The VenaSeal™ system is an innovative non-thermal treatment that uses medical adhesive to close the diseased vein. Unlike thermal methods, it does not require tumescent anesthesia.

Benefits of VenaSeal:

• No heat-based energy
• Minimal discomfort
• Rapid return to daily activities
• In selected cases, no need for prolonged compression

This method is ideal for patients looking for virtually painless varicose vein treatment with minimal interruption to their routine.

Recovery after varicose vein surgery

Thanks to modern minimally invasive techniques:

• Hospitalization is not required
• Walking is encouraged immediately after the procedure
• Most patients return to work quickly (depending on occupation)
• Physical activity can usually resume within days to weeks

Following your physician’s recommendations helps reduce the risk of recurrence.

Outpatient varicose vein treatment without hospital stay

One of the major advantages of contemporary vein treatment is that procedures are performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Patients return home the same day, which ensures:

• Greater comfort
• Lower complication risk
• Faster overall recovery
• Minimal disruption to daily life

Why treat varicose veins early?

If left untreated, varicose veins may lead to complications such as inflammation, skin changes, or venous ulcers. Early diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment significantly reduce long-term risks and improve both health and appearance.
