Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and swollen veins that commonly occur in the legs due to weak or damaged vein valves. They can cause pain, heaviness, swelling, and visible bulging veins. If left untreated, varicose veins may lead to complications like skin ulcers, blood clots, or chronic venous insufficiency. We provide both laser and surgical treatments to ensure safe and long-lasting relief.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins:
- Visible swollen, bulging, or twisted veins (usually in legs).
- Heaviness or aching pain in the legs.
- Swelling in feet or ankles.
- Burning, cramping, or throbbing sensation.
- Skin changes around the affected veins (darkening, ulcers in severe cases).
