Before After

• Do you suffer from painful legs?
• Do your legs feel sore and heavy if you have been on your feet all day?
• Maybe you have veins that bulge or look twisted, commonly known as varicose veins?
• Perhaps you have sought treatment, but do not want to undergo the painful surgical procedure known as stripping.
• Now, as a result of a new minimally invasive laser treatment for varicose veins known as EndoVenous Laser Treatment (EVLT^TM), you no longer need to suffer.

Veins through your body return blood back to you heart. To do this efficiently veins have one-way valves to prevent blood from flowing backwards due to gravity. If the valves fail to close properly, blood will pool in the vein.

Over time, this pooling will force the vein walls outward, resulting in enlargement and sometimes bulging of the vein giving it a rope-like appearance.

Who Gets Varicose Veins?

You are not alone... Tens of millions of people around the world suffer from varicose veins with hereditary factors playing an important role in their development. Women are almost twice as likely to have varicose veins, however a significant number of men are also affected.

Factors That Can Contribute To Varicose Veins

• Pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills
• Professions which require prolonged standing or sitting
• Obesity or lack of exercise
• Increasing age

Varicose veins may only cause cosmetic concerns but sometimes can cause legs to ache or swell. You legs may also feel heavy and tired or as though they are burning. These symptoms may be more severe at the end of the day or after prolonged sitting or standing. In more sever cases, varicose veins can lead to skin changes resulting in eczema, pigmentation, and ulceration or bleeding.
