Varicose veins clinics offer services that day including ultrasound guided sclerotherapy and endovenous laser ablation. They use the latest equipment and latest techniques to assess and treat leg veins. Your leg veins normally allow blood to travel from your feet in a direction up towards your heart.

This flow is facilitated by the pumping action of the foot and calf muscles, valves allow blood to flow up the leg towards the heart and close again to stop the blood flowing downward under gravitational forces . Varicose veins develop when the valves no longer function properly and therefore the blood begins to flow downwards, leading to a higher pressure in the veins due to pooling of blood and therefore develop varicose veins.

More commonly develop varicose veins in women, but they are also known to occur in men. In most cases there is a family history of varicose veins caused by a hereditary weakness in the wall of the vein or valves of veins.

A common cause of varicose veins is pregnancy. Because of the pregnancy hormone estrogen relaxes the vessel walls, increasing the volume of circulating blood to provide mother and baby, and also enlarged uterus, which limits the return of blood from the legs and allows pooling and increase vein pressure in the pelvis and legs.

Standing for long periods, as in professions such as nursing, hairdressing and hospitality are also thought to play a role in the development of varicose veins. Obesity and severe trauma may also be an important factor.

Endovenous laser ablation or ELA is one of the latest technologies available to treat leg veins, using laser light to seal the incompetent veins that lead to varicose veins. During the procedure, a small laser fiber is inserted into the vein underlying incompetent vein, then proceeds to thermal ablation and closes, which means that the vein will be absorbed into the human body. After treatment of your varicose veins you'll need to wear compression socks in order to ensure that the flow of blood continues correctly and you do not have recurring problems.
