Microphlebectomy
A Minimally-Invasive Solution for Varicose Veins
Cutting-Edge minimally invasive Vein Removal
understanding microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove varicose veins that are close to the surface of the skin. This technique involves making tiny incisions along the affected vein and gently extracting it using specialized tools. Performed under local anesthesia, microphlebectomy is a straightforward outpatient procedure that provides both cosmetic and medical benefits. By directly removing problematic veins, the procedure not only improves the appearance of the legs but also alleviates symptoms such as aching, swelling, and heaviness, which are commonly associated with varicose veins.

risks& complications
Microphlebectomy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, but like any medical treatment, it does come with some risks. Most patients experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness around the tiny incision sites, which usually fade within a few days or weeks. In rare cases, there may be a slight risk of infection, but this is minimized by the small size of the incisions and the careful, sterile techniques used during the procedure. Some patients might also notice temporary numbness or tingling in the treated area, which typically resolves on its own over time.

you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, which typically subsides quickly.
