Why Elite Vein Clinic?

Elite Vein Clinic uses the latest medical technology, Radiofrequency Ablаtіоn (RFA, аlѕо knоwn as VNUS or ClosureFAST, is a Mеdісаrе-apprоvеd, safe, minimally invasive procedure of removing varicose veins.
Unlike ligation and stripping where cuts are made over the vein, which is then tied off and stripped, RFA uses clean thermal energy inside the vein to gently close it off, leaving you with little to no marks that heal quickly.
The entire procedure takes between 15-45 minutes and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
Many patients return to work the same day.

Serious Complication if Left Untreated

While many patients are understandably concerned by their appearance, if symptomatic varicose veins are left untreated they can lead to more serious complications including:

  • Infections: Venous diseases can also cause leg ulcers. An ulcer is a break in the skin, which is dangerous due to exposure to bacteria and infection.
  • Pain: Varicose veins affect the flow of blood through the veins, oxygen that is carried through the blood does not reach the proper areas, leading to muscle cramps & pain near the site of the vein.
  • Bleeding: Since varicose veins are usually inflamed, they often press up against the skin, leaving them more susceptible to cuts.
  • Swelling: When blood isn’t pumping out of the legs properly due to damaged valves within the vein walls, blood begins to collect.
  • Blood Clots: Should a clot detach and enter the bloodstream, it can lead to life-threatening conditions such as thrombophlebitis or deep vein thrombosis.

Although varicose veins can lead to a number of more serious complications, the good news is they’re easily treatable. However, it’s important to seek treatment immediately in order to minimize the associated risks.

Don’t wait! Seek treatments while still early.

FAQs

Most frequent questions and answers

In your leg, you have two sets of veins. They are called deep veins and superficial veins.

Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.

In a normal person, the blood would circulate from the feet towards the heart in both sets of veins.

When someone has a venous insufficiency the blood will actually go up the deep veins and then go backwards into the superficial vein.

The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.

Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will start to bulge and create varicose veins. They are often bluish or purple in color.

Spider Veins are essentially a smaller version of varicose veins. They are red, purple, and blue vessels that are also twisted and turning. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face.

No. Varicose veins can occur deeper in the leg, where one can’t see them. Varicose veins are classified under the spectrum of venous insufficiency disease.

Venous insufficiency disease causes leg discomfort, swelling of the ankles and leg, itching, and weariness. Other signs and symptoms may be prickling, cramping, aching, and heaviness of the lower limbs after prolonged standing.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms besides simply visible veins.

In short, no. Exercise and compression stockings may help reduce some of the symptoms of varicose veins, but usually only medical treatment can effectively get rid of a varicose vein.

Progression of varicose veins can be dangerous as they may later become venous ulcerations. When left without treatment, complications may ensure including rashes, infections, bleeding, sores, and blood clots.

In rare cases, varicose veins can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism which is life-threatening.
