Varicose veins are one of the most common vascular issues around, affecting both men and women around the world! While they can appear in anyone, regardless of age, gender, or health status – women are definitely the most likely to deal with them. As the top dermatologist Rye has to offer, Dr. Eric Treiber of Treiber Dermatology has been able to help countless patients alleviate their vascular issues, no matter how severe! One of the biggest issues with varicose vein treatment is that there are a number of fad treatments and trendy procedures that simply do not work. But at Treiber Dermatology, Dr. Eric Treiber offers a number of different methods that not only target and eliminate each individual unwanted vein, but they are also able to prevent any future varicose veins from forming.
Varicose veins can occur for a variety of different reasons. According to Dr. Eric Treiber, the top dermatologist Rye has to offer, the most common reason for them to develop is fluctuations of blood circulation during pregnancy. They can also occur in individuals who aren’t pregnant as well, those who spend extended periods of time standing or sitting, without adjusting your movement too much. According to the top dermatologist Rye has in practice, Dr. Eric Treiber, in the beginning varicose veins appear to be wiry, twisted, mostly dark blue veins, that will often protrude from their place beneath the skin’s surface. Despite being relatively harmless as a health condition, they can have a drastic effect on one’s self-esteem and prove to be quite a prominent cosmetic issue. Many of those seeking varicose vein treatment feel quite self-conscious and are seeking a respite from the world of wearing long pants, stockings, and finding alternative means of covering up their legs and hiding those unsightly veins.
While there are countless fad treatments, or trendy procedures to deal with vascular issues, many of them simply do not work and are a waste of time. Here are 4 of the most effective treatment methods out there for dealing with varicose veins, no matter what their size or shape might be.
EVLT or Endovenous Laser TreatmentRelatively non-invasive this form of varicose vein treatment allows us to remove these unwanted veins using a thin wave of light emitting a tiny amount of energy into the treatment area. The laser light energy causes the vein to become sealed, and closes off this passageway to blood, making the blood have to reroute itself to other, healthier veins.
RFA or Radiofrequency AblationOne of the most common forms of varicose vein treatment today, RFA uses rf energy delivered into a small incision and tiny catheter, directly through to the vein. The rf energy causes the collagen makeup of the venous walls to breakdown, collapse, and seal themselves up. Again, this forces the blood to reroute to healthier veins.
SclerotherapyAnother favorite of those patients seeking varicose vein treatment, sclerotherapy works by injecting a foamy solution into the veins, causing them to shrink fairly quickly, and becoming sealed off. For best results multiple treatments may be required.
VenaSealUsing a small catheter, a medical-grade adhesive is inserted into the varicose vein, causing the vein to again, be sealed shut. This sealing causes the blood to be rerouted through other healthier veins.
The best thing about all these methods is that they are relatively non-invasive, and therefore patients will experience almost no pain, and minor discomfort. Also, there is almost much less downtime, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
