Varicose veins will not disappear on their own. They are a symptom of diseased and damaged valves that allow blood to flow backward in the saphenous vein and pool in the legs. In addition to the unattractive skin discoloration and bulging, the swollen veins can cause pain, severe fatigue and leg cramps. Since the valves canâ t be repaired, the only alternative is to eliminate the diseased vein and re-route the blood flow through deeper healthy veins.
The older technique for treating varicose veins involved manually pulling out the saphenous vein. Patients suffered a lengthy and painful recovery period. The newer VNUS Closure® procedure deliver radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Patients see results right away and the recovery is much shorter.he return of warm summer months can be a dreadful time for women who are embarrassed to wear shorts or short skirts due to unsightly, twiste...all »he return of warm summer months can be a dreadful time for women who are embarrassed to wear shorts or short skirts due to unsightly, twisted and swollen varicose veins.
