In the human body, the venous system is responsible for carrying to the heart blood that has been depleted of oxygen. The individual vessels are known as veins, and they are subject to problems, particularly later in a person’s life. Veins that become swollen, or varicose, can be particularly unsightly. Fortunately, a number of methods of treating varicose veins are available from Varicose to Perfect, located in Springboro, Ohio.
Veins contain tiny valves, and a disruption in them can disrupt the flow of blood and cause the vessels to bulge. Varicose veins are almost twice as common in women than in men, and pregnancy is one condition that can cause the disorder. Other factors include obesity and activities that are either excessively sedate or excessively strenuous. However, heredity is believed to be the single most important factor in determining whether somebody will develop varicose veins.
A number of minimally evasive varicose vein treatment options are available from Varicose to Perfect. Ambulatory phlebectomy is a technique in which microscopic hooks are used to physically remove the affected vein through a small incision that is made in the skin. This simple method can be accomplished in the doctor’s office, and only requires a local anesthesia. Another technique is known as sclerotherapy, in which a chemical agent is injected directly into the vein, causing it to collapse. This procedure may require up to six sessions, but eventually the obtrusive vein is gone for good.
Other treatment options employ the power of light or electricity. Endovenous laser treatment is a method of using radial energy to close the walls of a vein from the inside. This procedure can be completed in less than an hour, and periods of moderate exercise combined with the use of a compression bandage will assure total recovery. Another method of using energy to eliminate varicose veins is the VeinGogh System. The system uses bursts of electrical energy through small probes that results in the coagulation of the blood inside the affected vein, after which the vessel will itself collapse and dissipate.
Such methods of treatment are available from Varicose to Perfect, located in Springboro, Ohio. For more information, call (937) 405-4010 or visit its website at www.varicosetoperfect.com.
