LEARN MORE ABOUT VARICOSE VEINS
Varicose veins and spider veins: what is the difference?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often bulge on the legs. Spider veins are small red or purple vessels located just beneath the skin. Both indicate less efficient blood circulation. They can be accompanied by heavy legs, swelling, or cramps, especially at the end of the day and in warm weather.
The role of the duplex ultrasound
A venous duplex ultrasound is a painless examination using sound waves. It allows Dr. Shimon Aronhime to observe blood flow in the veins and locate the source of reflux. This assessment guides the choice of the most appropriate treatment.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the vein to be treated, which causes it to close and gradually disappear. It is performed in the clinic without anesthesia, allowing you to resume your normal activities the same day. Several sessions may be needed depending on the extent of the veins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are varicose veins purely cosmetic? Not always. They can be a sign of venous insufficiency that warrants medical attention.
Do I need to wear compression stockings after treatment? Most of the time, yes, for a few days. Dr. Aronhime will let you know the appropriate duration.
What is the best season to treat your legs? Autumn and winter are generally recommended, as sun exposure on treated areas should be avoided for a few weeks.
