What are leg varicose veins?

Leg varicose veins are more than just visible, twisting veins on your legs—they’re a sign that your veins are struggling to carry blood back to your heart efficiently. This can happen when the tiny valves inside your veins weaken, causing blood to pool and the veins to swell. For many, varicose veins bring not only cosmetic concerns but also physical discomfort, like aching, heaviness, and swelling in the legs. They can even make everyday activities, like standing or walking, feel challenging.

It’s important to know that varicose veins are a common condition, and you’re not alone in dealing with them. While they can be frustrating, there are modern, effective treatments available that address both the appearance and the underlying issues. With the right care, you can find relief, improve your leg health, and restore confidence in your stride.

These occur due to weak veins and have cosmetic implications for many people. Not to be confused with varicose veins, which are larger and often seen internally.

Causes & symptoms

Varicose veins develop when the small valves in your veins, which are supposed to keep blood flowing in the right direction, become weakened or damaged. This causes blood to pool in your legs, making the veins swell and twist. There are many reasons why this happens, and often it’s not something you can control. Genetics play a significant role, so if your parents or grandparents had varicose veins, you may be more likely to develop them too. Lifestyle factors, like standing or sitting for long periods, pregnancy, aging, and even carrying extra weight, can also contribute. It’s not about blame—it’s about understanding how life and our bodies are connected. Varicose veins can affect more than just how your legs look. 

You might feel aching, heaviness, or tiredness in your legs, especially after standing or being on your feet all day. Some people experience swelling, itchy or irritated skin near the veins, or even cramps, especially at night. Over time, these symptoms can make everyday activities feel harder or less enjoyable. If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone, and there’s no need to suffer in silence. 

 These symptoms are common and treatable, and with modern advancements in vein care, relief is closer than ever. At our clinic, we’re here to listen, understand, and work with you to find solutions that improve not only your leg health but also your overall quality of life. There’s hope for a future where your legs feel lighter, stronger, and free from pain—and we’re here to help you take that first step.

leg Varicose Veins Removal

Varicose vein removal is more than just a cosmetic procedure—it’s a step toward healthier, more comfortable legs. Varicose veins can cause discomfort, swelling, and even aching, impacting your quality of life and confidence. Modern treatments are designed to effectively address both the appearance and underlying issues of varicose veins, offering solutions that are minimally invasive with little to no downtime. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain or looking to restore confidence in how your legs look and feel, varicose vein removal can help you achieve lasting results and a renewed sense of freedom.

endovenous laser ablation

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a cornerstone treatment for addressing truncal vein insufficiency, which is often the root cause of varicose veins. This minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to seal off the diseased vein, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins and alleviating symptoms like pain, swelling, and heaviness. 

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins, causing veins to collapse and improve blood flow. This quick, outpatient procedure has minimal downtime and is suitable for both smaller and larger veins. It can lead to healthier legs, reduced symptoms, and confidence.

microphlebectomy

Microphlebectomy is a highly effective, minimally invasive alternative to traditional vein stripping for treating varicose veins, offering quicker results and a faster recovery. This procedure involves making tiny punctures in the skin to remove the problematic veins, all performed under local anaesthesia. Unlike older surgical methods, microphlebectomy causes minimal discomfort, leaving almost no scarring. It’s an excellent option for those looking for immediate improvement in the appearance of varicose veins.

Medical Glue

Medical glue is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins that provides effective results with minimal discomfort. During the procedure, a special medical adhesive is used to seal the affected vein, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins. This quick and virtually painless method requires no anesthesia or compression stockings, and patients can resume their normal activities almost immediately. Medical glue offers a safe, efficient, and convenient solution for treating varicose veins while improving both leg health and appearance.

Compression Therapy

Compression therapy plays a crucial role in supporting recovery and improving outcomes after varicose vein treatment. By applying gentle, consistent pressure to the legs, compression stockings help enhance blood flow, reduce swelling, and promote faster healing. They also minimize the risk of complications, such as blood clots or recurrence, by ensuring proper circulation during the recovery period. Comfortable and easy to use, compression therapy is an essential part of post-treatment care, helping patients achieve smoother, healthier legs with long-lasting results.
