What are the most effective types of vein treatment? Veins can cause an unpleasant look on your skin. Veins like varicose and spider veins can develop at nearly any skin area of your body. However, they are rarely a cause of concern. Despite that, you shouldn’t ignore the possible symptoms that may suggest progressive vein conditions.
While harmless, they can make you self conscious or lower your self confidence. However, there are multiple vein treatment and removal options available, including surgical, invasive, and non-invasive methods.

These treatments don’t usually require a hospital stay or long bed-rest. Hence, you can easily recover after nearly any vein treatment or removal procedure. Here are the most common vein treatment and removal methods that doctors suggest for varicose and spider veins.
Varicose veins are large veins that swell and enlarge. They are most common around the leg and calf area, which shows an unpleasant accumulation of bulging veins. Varicose veins can occur due to enlargement when the vein valves stop functioning efficiently or entirely. Thus, it affects blood circulation and causes the veins to enlarge.
Often, the veins appear blue, twisted, flesh-colored, or red. Although they are harmless most of the time, they can cause certain chronic venous health conditions.
Some other causes of varicose veins may include hereditary genes, pregnancy, aging, sedentary lifestyle, heavy lifting, etc. Such factors can contribute to forming a significant effect on your venous health.
Spider veins are quite similar to a web-like form that disperses into thin red lines as it spreads across a region of your skin. They are common on the legs and face but can develop anywhere on the body, including the waist, arms, hands, etc.
These are small groups of very fine and thin veins that dilate and start enlarging. These veins affect the natural appearance of your body, formulating a web-like pattern.
What are the treatment and removal options for venous conditions, such as varicose and spider veins? Well, here are some of the most general vein removal and treatment methods. The list below comprises treatment options that are invasive, minimally invasive, and non-invasive.
Sclerotherapy is one of the most common vein treatment procedures that involve using a saline injection. Your doctor may insert it into the affected large veins. Depending on your general medication state and condition, the procedure time and frequency of injections can vary.
The saline injection causes the veins to collapse. Subsequently, the walls close, and the blood circulation through the vein stops. At the same time, the vein itself starts to shrink, fade, and become less noticeable. Moreover, the procedure might not last as long, and the results may be noticeable quite shortly.
Endovenous Laser Ablation Therapy uses strong laser lights that penetrate the top layers of the skin without harming them. These strong light bursts destroy the non-functioning veins and cause them to collapse. When these veins collapse, their walls may shrink, and the blood circulation may stop. Consequently, the light bursts make the vein fade and disappear within a short period of time.
Recently, in light of the newer developments, radiofrequency technology is helping treat such vein conditions much more efficiently. Bear in mind that this treatment method is non-invasive and doesn’t require any incisions or cuts on the skin or affected area.
Marking an incision on the skin near the affected veins, your doctor will insert a catheter into your enlarged vein. The catheter’s tip heats up the vein using laser energy or radiofrequency and destroys the vein. The catheter-assisted removal procedures are effective because they come in direct contact with the affected veins.
As your doctor removes the catheter out of your vein, the heat seals the vein shut and causes the blood circulation to stop. As a result, it destroys the enlarged vein.

Stripping and ligation is a straightforward surgical treatment and removal method. Making an incision, your doctor will use fine instruments to grasp and remove the enlarged vein entirely or its affected part. Following that, your doctor will perform ligation (tying) on the vein.
