Best treatment for varicose veins is one that addresses the cause of the varicose veins and then also the varicose vein’s also if needed. There are many good treatments available including radio frequency ablation, laser ablation and other chemical ablation techniques. You should with a vein specialist which treatment is best suitable for your particular situation.
It depends on the location of the veins and the type of veins involved. Most can be ablated using a sclerosant chemical therapy. Others may require removal (phlebectomy) or ligation. All of these options can be done by a trained vascular surgeon in an outpatient center.
The surgeries that are best vary depending upon you evaluation and work up. You should see a board certified vascular surgery for complete evaluation.
