VARICOSE VEINS
You can now enjoy an improved body image and regain confidence in your appearance, while receiving significant relief from the discomfort varicose veins cause. Gone are the itching, swelling, pain and heaviness that interfere with your normal daily activities.
Varicose veins are large, distended veins located below the surface of the skin. While your arteries carry blood away from the heart to the extremities, your veins have one-way valves which channel blood back to the heart. If the valves cease to function properly, your blood doesn't flow efficiently and can cause the veins to become enlarged and congested with blood.
Abnormal leg veins may cause pain in the legs and can be especially troublesome for those who work on their feet, or enjoy sports involved activities. Symptoms are often aggravated by prolonged standing and include feelings of fatigue, heaviness, aching, burning, throbbing, itching, cramping and restlessness of the legs. Varicose veins can contribute to general discomfort and uncomfortable swelling of the legs may also occur. Severe varicose veins can compromise the nutrition of the skin and lead to eczema, inflammation or even ulceration of the lower leg.
Heredity is the foremost contributing factor causing varicose and spider veins; causing both men and women to suffer from abnormal leg veins. Hormonal factors including puberty, pregnancy, menopause, birth control pills, estrogen and progesterone also contribute to this condition. Other predisposing factors include aging, standing occupations, obesity and leg injury.
Dr. Vajtai will eliminate your varicose veins by using the latest in Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided technique using laser energy. This quick and easy procedure is performed in the comfort and care of Dr. Vajtai’s VeinitySM Health and Wellness Center, without the use of general anesthesia. Since vein disorders are not always visible, Dr. Vajtai will conduct a non-invasive ultrasound, in addition to a visual examination, when diagnosing your condition.
Under Dr. Vajtai’s expert guidance, as an experienced vascular surgeon, a laser fiber is gently inserted through the skin and directly into the vein that is causing the bulgy, unattractive and often painful varicose condition. The energy source from the laser heats the lining within the vein, damaging it and causing it to collapse, shrink and eventually disappear. This painless technique takes approximately 45 minutes to perform.
There are no complications related to the elimination of the varicose vein: on the contrary, by closing these veins, leg circulation improves significantly, preventing the development of stasis ulcers. The healthy veins are not touched by the laser and will continue to carry blood away from the legs in an efficient manner.
