Varicose Veins:

The vein systems are like upside-down trees......when the valves fail in the trunk, the vessels below hold up the weight of a column of blood up to your heart. The branches of this tree distend. These dilated veins on the surface of your leg are commonly called varicose veins. (90%, however, of the dilated veins are inside the leg). They swell when you are standing or sitting for prolonged periods. This causes pain.

If a vein trunk above your varicose veins has defective valves, we close it with laser or radiofrequency. The blood then goes through normal pathways to the deep circulation and the pressure is taken off these varicose veins below.

The veins can then return to their normal size and the pain, aching and tiredness are relieved.

People under 40 years old often have enough fibrous resilence for their varicosities to shrink to normal size and completely disappear. Much like a balloon that is blown up the first time will return to normal. After 40, the varicosities will shrink but sometimes not completely go away. They are, in a sense, stretched and may need a micro-phlebectomy procedure.
