Phlebology department – Treatment of varicose veins
Legs free of varicose veins = esthetic and healthy legs
In the Western world, 30% to 50% of women and 10% to 25% of men suffer from varicose veins that present as spidery blue and red threads underneath the skin. Sometimes the problem is primarily esthetic, but in some cases this is a medical problem accompanies by pain, a burning sensation and even the development of edema, infections and ulcers. In any case, whether it is only an esthetic problem or a medical problem, it can be solved easily and safely by the Phlebology department in the chain's clinics. As in all our departments, On Clinics' Phlebology departments apply the most advanced treatment methods, using innovative medical equipment and devices, and comply with international service and treatment standards.
Easy, effective, non-surgical treatment – and your legs are beautiful and varicose vein free
The innovative treatment methods used at On Clinic enable bothersome and unaesthetic veins to vanish without requiring surgery. Instead of removing the diseased vein using an invasive surgical procedure, the method used at On Clinic causes the vein to dissolve and be absorbed in the body without anesthesia, incisions and pain. The procedure is conducted with ultra sound guidance that enables the physician to insert the active substance very precisely into the vein without damaging other blood vessels. The active substances have been used for many years and have Drug Authority approval. When the substance comes in contact with the walls of the vein, an immediate shrinking reaction occurs, and at the end of the process this leads to the absorption of the blood vessels into the body and finally – their disappearance. Not to worry – the body will not sense the absence of this vein, since there are many more kilometers of blood vessels and veins in the leg that will continues to function and compensate for the vein that disappeared.
The extensive experience acquired at On Clinic in ambulatory (non-surgical) treatment methods has proven that this is a simple, safe and efficient treatment. There is no need for general or local anesthesia, and the patient can return to his or her everyday activities immediately after every treatment session.
Treatment today prevents complications tomorrow
If varicose veins are left untreated, the problem may exacerbate and cause pain, swelling, severe inflammation, skin ulcers and in rare cases even life threatening blood clots. Therefore, we recommend that you treat the problem sooner rather than later. Note that severe varicose veins may develop into ulcers and hard to heal wounds, particularly among diabetic patients.
When is it advisable to seek treatment for varicose veins at the Phlebology department?
1. Unaesthetic appearance - when a network of blue or red veins appears on the legs
2. Pain, heaviness, fatigue and burning sensation – they impair your quality of life, they are bothersome and they require treatment.
3. Occurrence of complications, such as edema, ulcers and infections of the soft tissue.
