Varicose veins appear mainly on the legs and can be large and unsightly. For many, discoloration is a cosmetic issue, but they can be a source of pain and discomfort. For others, they can be a sign of an undiagnosed underlying problem. Fortunately, there are several available options. Talk to a vascular doctor about minimally invasive varicose vein treatment in Hamilton, NJ. Here are three common treatment options available.
Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive option that uses a particular solution. The vein surgeon injects the fluid into the affected vein or multiple veins. The solution causes scarring and forces the blood in the vein to reroute to healthier veins nearby. The treated vein will finally collapse. Once it collapses, it will be reabsorbed into the body as it fades away.
Saphenous Vein Ablation
The saphenous vein or radiofrequency ablation (AR) uses radiofrequency energy to seal off affected veins. The walls of the veins are heated, causing the walls to collapse, close, and seal shut. This less invasive varicose vein treatment in Hamilton, NJ, is effective.
Endovenous Laser Ablation
EVLT or endovenous laser treatment is often recommended for treating large varicose veins. Laser ablation is the favored treatment option for cosmetic reasons, but it can also eliminate or reduce pain, discomfort, swelling, inflammation, and skin irritation.
