Endovenous laser therapy is a newer treatment alternative that allows for the treatment of varicose veins in the office under a local anaesthetic. This avoids the need for hospitalisation, general anaesthetic, incisions or wounds and allows rapid return normal activity. Most patients do not need to take any time off work. Studies have proven this to be the most affective treatment available today.
Many factors increase a person's chances of developing varicose or spider veins. These include:
Increasing Age
Having family members with vein problems or being born with weak vein valves
Obesity, leg injury, prolonged standing and other things that weaken vein valves
