Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for informed decisions.
Your personal recommendation may differ according to examination and ultrasound findings.
Do all varicose veins require treatment?+
No. Treatment depends on symptoms, clinical findings, complications and personal concerns. An assessment determines whether observation, conservative management or an intervention is appropriate.
Which treatment is best for me?+
The most suitable method depends on the affected veins, ultrasound findings, previous treatments, symptoms and overall health. Treatment is therefore selected individually.
Are vein treatments only cosmetic?+
No. Visible veins may be primarily cosmetic, but varicose veins can also cause pain, swelling, skin damage, inflammation, bleeding or venous ulcers.
Will treated veins return?+
A successfully closed or removed vein is no longer functional. However, venous disease can progress and new varicose veins may develop over time, so follow-up can remain important.
How many sessions will I need?+
The number of sessions depends on the extent of the condition and the selected treatment. Small superficial veins may require several staged sessions.
How quickly can I return to normal activities?+
Recovery varies according to the procedure and the individual patient. Specific advice about walking, work, exercise, compression and wound care is provided after treatment.
Does treatment leave scars?+
Minimally invasive procedures are designed to limit skin incisions. Temporary marks or, less commonly, small permanent scars remain possible and are discussed before treatment.
