365 Big Story: Varicose Veins Treatment
Take Control of Your Vein Health
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins weaken, leading to poor blood flow and visible bulging veins. While they may sometimes only cause cosmetic concerns, varicose veins can also lead to discomfort, swelling, heaviness, and even complications such as ulcers or blood clots if left untreated.
Modern medical treatments offer effective, minimally invasive solutions to address varicose veins, restore comfort, and improve appearance.
Why You Should Consider Varicose Veins Treatment
Untreated varicose veins can worsen over time, causing pain, swelling, skin changes, or complications. Seeking treatment early can:
- Relieve discomfort, heaviness, or fatigue in the legs.
- Reduce visible bulging veins for improved appearance.
- Prevent progression to more serious vein disease.
- Improve circulation and overall leg health.
- Enhance mobility and quality of life.
Types of Varicose Veins Treatment
Several treatment options are available depending on your vein condition, medical history, and lifestyle:
Compression Stockings
Specially designed elastic stockings that apply gentle pressure to the legs, improving circulation and reducing swelling. Often recommended as a first-line or supportive treatment.
Venaseal (Cyanoacrylate Glue Ablation)
A minimally invasive procedure where a medical adhesive is delivered inside the vein to close it permanently, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. No heat or multiple injections are required.
ClosureFast Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA)
Uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close diseased veins. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, allowing for quick recovery and minimal discomfort.
Sclerotherapy
A chemical solution is injected into smaller varicose veins or spider veins, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view. Often used for cosmetic improvement and smaller veins.
Microphlebectomy (Stab Avulsions)
Tiny incisions are made to remove visible surface varicose veins directly. This is often combined with other treatments for comprehensive results.

FAQs
While many varicose veins are harmless, untreated cases can cause complications such as leg ulcers, skin discolouration, or blood clots. Seeking medical advice is recommended.
The best treatment depends on your vein size, location, and overall health. Your doctor may recommend a combination of therapies for the best results.
Most modern treatments are minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia, causing little to no discomfort. Recovery is typically quick.
Treated veins are permanently closed or removed. However, new varicose veins can develop over time, especially if risk factors such as prolonged standing or family history remain.
Costs vary depending on the type of procedure, number of veins treated, and whether it is done in a private or public clinic. The doctor can provide an estimate after assessment.
