Varicose Veins Therapy

Varicose Veins Therapy – Yoskarn Clinic, Thailand

Varicose veins and spider veins are common venous disorders that can cause cosmetic concerns, pain, swelling, non-healing ulcers, and even thromboembolism. Spider veins are small, superficial blood vessels, often red or blue, appearing on the legs, face, or other areas. They may form short lines or “sunburst” patterns resembling a spider web or tree branches. Varicose veins are larger, raised vessels that may occur alongside spider veins, sometimes causing discomfort ranging from dull aches to burning sensations.

Causes of Varicose and Spider Veins
Genetics plays a key role in the development of spider veins, as identical twins may be affected similarly. Women are more frequently affected due to hormonal factors such as puberty, pregnancy, birth control, or hormone therapy. Other contributors include injuries, tight clothing, prolonged standing, and sun exposure (especially on the face).

Prevention
Complete prevention may not be possible, but certain measures can help reduce risk:

• Wear support stockings

• Maintain healthy weight and exercise regularly

• Eat a high-fiber diet

• Opt for low-heeled shoes

• Protect skin from sun exposure

Treatment Options in Thailand
Yoskarn Clinic offers a range of therapies for varicose and spider veins:

1. Sclerotherapy – A fine needle injects a sclerosing solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and gradually fade. Some vessels may require multiple sessions spaced weeks apart.

2. Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) – For larger veins, laser energy delivered inside the vein closes it effectively.

3. Mini Vein Surgery – Ligation, stripping, or focal removal of dilated veins for severe cases.

4. Radiofrequency Ablation – Uses heat to close problematic veins safely and efficiently.

5. Facial Spider Veins – Laser, electrodessication, or intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments can target veins based on skin type. Various lasers (pulsed dye, long-pulsed Nd:YAG, Alexandrite) are used for optimal results.

Post-Treatment Expectations

• Most veins improve or vanish after one session, but multiple sessions may be required for 80–100% clearance.

• Fading occurs gradually over weeks to months.

• Your dermatologist may provide personalized post-care instructions to ensure proper healing and circulation.
