What are Varicose Veins?
Anyone, in particular women, can develop visible red, blue, or small purple veins on the legs. These can appear anywhere from the top of the leg to the bottom of the ankle. Sometimes these veins can become darker and more prominent and extend deep below the surface of the skin. However, most patients consider smaller spider veins a cosmetic issue as they do not cause any discomfort or pain. In fact, these are the signs of the valves' falling slowly in the more prominent deep veins in the legs, so the treatment should not remain limited to the cosmetic issue. On the other hand, the bigger varicose veins can cause mild leg discomfort towards the end of the day to extremely painful legs and feet after standing for a few hours.
If left untreated, patients can start developing swelling of the feet. Which later progresses to open wounds that are extremely difficult to heal. These are called venous stasis ulcers. At Cosmetique clinic, our certified dermatologists are experts in treating varicose veins on legs in no time. We promise to provide life-changing laser treatment for varicose veins.
What causes spider or varicose veins on the legs?
The body has two kinds of blood pipes (blood vessels). The blood vessels that take the blood from the heart to the feet are called "arteries." And the vessels that take the blood from the feet back to the heart are called "veins." These veins have "one-way" valves that maintain the flow from the feet toward the heart against gravity. The valves prevent blood from flowing back into the ankle once the calf muscles squeeze it back toward the heart. Once these "one-way valves" start to become slightly leaky, the blood starts to come back into the feet /ankle as the valves fail to close completely. At this point, the veins start to become visible and are called "Varicose Veins."
Many factors, like extended periods of standing and heredity, play some role, but hormone levels and injury to a leg also contribute. Many females start to get varicose veins after pregnancy. Don't worry; it is a resolvable problem. Many methods, including radiofrequency and laser treatment for varicose veins, are available at Cosmetique clinic.

What are the treatments available for spider veins and varicose veins (leg vein)?
The good news is that many painless, effective treatments are available that can help you get rid of these unsightly veins. If the veins are very fine, then either a procedure called Sclerotherapy or a laser treatment for varicose veins in the legs are effective. We can often treat small fine veins with state-of-the-art lasers like Candela's V-Beam, Lyra-i by Iridex (Long pulsed NdYag), or Coolglide by Cutera, all made in the United States. These highly advanced laser systems can get rid of small red or blue blood vessels almost painlessly in a few minutes.
Hence, sparing the patient of anxiety associated even with very fine needles. Larger veins and fine networks of veins require multiple treatment sessions to gain the best results. We can treat larger varicose veins with either the latest techniques of foam sclerotherapy or radiofrequency treatment.
Sclerotherapy:
Sclerotherapy is an advanced procedure that shrinks spider and varicose veins. Using extremely fine needles (specially imported and not available in any other center in Pakistan), the doctor injects a solution directly into the problem vein. This pushes the blood out, causing the vein to shrink and visually disappear.
The patient is asked to wear special tight socks for a few days to shrink the dilated veins back to normal. Similarly, in the foam sclerotherapy method, a foam made from a medicine (usually sodium tetradecyl sulfate) is carefully injected into the dilated vein. Making it collapse and causing "fibrosis," eliminating the dilated vein without the need to undergo a vein "stripping" surgery.
Radiofrequency
Moreover, the latest method, called radiofrequency, can be used to eliminate the dilated veins in the lower leg. If the major valves in the superficial veins in the lower leg (saphenofemoral and saphenopopliteal) are found incompetent and defective on doppler ultrasound examination.
Our world-acclaimed dermatologists, skin specialists, and surgeons at Cosmetique clinic will be happy to evaluate the cause of your swollen or dilated blood vessels (veins) and discuss various treatment options best suited for you.
