For quite some time the spider and varicose vein removal was quite a difficult and tedious process. In the past the only way that these medical conditions could be treated was through the use of surgery. But for the millions of people who do suffer from problems related to their veins there are several other procedures that can be performed and which prove a lot less painful and quick to complete.
However the form of treatment that is carried out today on a person will depend on how severe the condition is. Certainly for those whose condition is only mild then the wearing of compression socks or stockings to help stimulate the flow of blood to the areas can prove effective. For these people to help relieve any pain or swelling they may experience then the taking of aspirin or ibuprofen may also be recommended.
Whereas for those people who are looking for ways to deal with much more chronic vein problems then the use of Sclerotherapy or laser therapy may be considered instead. However in some cases the only way of treating the problem of vein removal can be achieved by procedures known as stripping or ligation being performed. Both of these treatments are very invasive and are very painful and as a result a general anaesthetic will need to be provided to the patient before the procedures can be carried out.
So why is it that people are opting for the non surgical procedures to help remove unsightly veins? Below we take a look at just some of the reasons for people choosing to undergo these procedures.
Reason 1 - For those who choose to undergo Sclerotherapy they will find that this procedure is successful in helping with vein removal 80 to 90% of the time.
Reason 2 - The non surgical procedures are far less painful and a local anaesthetic is all that is required to help ensure that the person being treated doesn't suffer too much pain during the procedure being carried out.
Reason 3 - Both with Sclerotherapy and laser vein removal therapy the treatments don't take too long to carry out in most cases the treatment will take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to complete.
