  • What is ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy?
    Rather than relying on visual guidance alone, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy uses a device called a colour Doppler ultrasound, which improves reliability and safety in certain cases.
  • What is endovenous thermal ablation?
    This is the destruction of the affected vein wall by endovascular heat generated by an energy source (laser or radiofrequency) inserted directly into the vein using ultrasound guidance.
  • What is MOCA?
    This is non-thermal ablation of the varicose vein. A catheter is inserted into the vein and sclerosing foam (scleromousse) is injected simultaneously. The catheter damages the innermost layer of the vein, thereby enhancing the efficacy of the sclerosing foam.
  • What is cyanoacrylate glue ablation?
    This is an endovascular procedure that literally glues the vein walls together, reducing the lumen to a virtual space. It works in the same way as the better-known "Attack" glue.
  • What is phlebectomy?
    This is a mini-invasive surgical procedure that removes the varicose branches of the saphenous vein through small 2‑mm incisions.
  • Are pregnant patients eligible for surgery?
    No.
  • Once removed, can varicose veins come back?"
    No, but because of the existing venous disease, other veins could be affected, developing into varicose veins in the same area that has already been treated or elsewhere.
  • How many days of rest are needed after treatment?
    No rest is required by laser, radiofrequency and foam sclerotherapy treatment.
  • Will I awake during the operation ?
    Yes. Laser procedures and Foam sclerotherapy are done in Local anesthesia.
  • Will the operation be painful?
    Post-operative recovery from modern surgical procedures, including thermal ablation techniques, is painless and practically discomfort-free.
  • How long should I wear the compression stockings for after the operation?
    From 4 to 6 weeks.
  • What if the compression stockings don’t work?
    There are a various modern procedures like laser ,Radio frequency and Foam sclerotherapy which are highly advance ,painless & bloodless to treat varicose veins,
  • Is the procedure safe?
    Modern laser ablation techniques are completely safe in comparison with former surgical procedures.
  • Is it a day care procedure ?
    Yes, patient will be discharge on the same day after treatment
