Varicose Veins are veins under the skin that have become swollen, twisted and bulging. They are usually seen in the legs and feet.They are quite common, and most of the time do not cause any problems. However, they can be disfiguring and be a cause for cosmetic concern in females.
The veins of the lower limb have one way valves that keep the blood moving towards the heart and prevent its backflow. If the valves are weak or become damaged, blood can back up and pool in the veins. Over time, the continuous pooling cause the veins to become stretched, swollen and tortuous. Raised pressure in these veins also causes development of spider veins and discoloured areas which look like bruises.
Varicose veins are usually first diagnosed through a physical examination To assess the severity and rule out other conditions, your doctor may recommend additional tests. The most common investigation is a Venous Colour Doppler, which evaluates blood flow in the leg veins and identifies any faulty valves or blockages. At Healing Hands Clinic Mohali, this diagnostic approach ensures accurate assessment before recommending treatment.
Treatment for varicose veins may not be medically necessary in the early stages who have minor symptoms. At this stage, lifestyle modifications, regular exercise, compression stockings, and medications can help control the condition and prevent progression. However, many patients, particularly females, seek treatment for cosmetic concerns.
If the veins worsen or complications develop, surgical options become essential. Among these, Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is currently the most advanced technique and is available at Healing Hands Clinic Mohali. EVLA is minimally invasive, highly precise, and provides rapid recovery with minimal pain.
There are certain self-help measures you can take to relieve your symptoms. These include losing any excess weight and doing light to moderate physical activity, such as swimming or walking. Avoid standing for long periods of time as this causes pooling of blood in the veins and may make your symptoms worse. While sleeping keep the legs elevated by placing 2 pillows under the feet. This helps in emptying of the pooled blood from the veins.
They help to maintain the blood flow in the leg veins and reduce leg swelling. They also help to reduce the risk of blood clots forming in the veins. They act by enhancing the effect of the natural pumping mechanism of the leg muscles. This helps to increase the blood flow back towards the heart.The stockings are worn during the day and taken off before going to bed at night. They should be worn again the first thing in the morning.
LEONARDO® laser is a versatile, highly compact diode laser with dual wavelength ( 980nm and 1470 nm ). The ELVeS Radial™ fibers are used in this procedure which increases the precision of the technique. This highly advanced laser was first introduced in the country at Healing Hands Clinic. Varicose vein surgeries with ELVeS Radial™ fibers are extremely effective: The ELVeS® fiber with an atraumatic fiber tip is inserted into the affected vein through a small puncture. With the 2-phase radial emission of energy through the ELVeS® fibers, the energy can be applied homogeneously to the vessel wall. Thus the vein is sealed accurately. Due to perfect view via ultrasound the fiber can be monitored and placed perfectly well. The risk of perforating the vein wall is minimized, side effects of typical varicose vein treatments rarely occur.
The whole treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes. During the treatment as well as afterwards the patient hardly feels any discomfort. Patients can return to their daily activities on the next day of the treatment.The advantage of Leonardo laser over other lasers is its dual wavelength. This reduces the recurrence rate to almost negligible and the pain associated with the procedure is much less as compared to other lasers.
You should consult a vein specialist if you notice visible bulging veins, persistent leg pain, heaviness, swelling, skin discoloration, or itching around the ankles. Many patients in Mohali delay treatment assuming it is only cosmetic, but early evaluation helps prevent complications like skin damage or clots.
Varicose veins are increasingly common in Mohali among people with desk jobs, factory workers, shop owners, teachers, and healthcare staff due to prolonged sitting or standing. Long working hours and limited leg movement can lead to blood pooling in leg veins
Diagnosis usually begins with a clinical examination followed by a Venous Colour Doppler test, which assesses blood flow and valve function in the leg veins. This test helps determine disease severity and guides the most appropriate treatment plan.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective treatment widely preferred by patients. It seals the faulty vein without surgery, involves minimal pain, no stitches, and allows patients to return to routine activities within 24 hours.
Most patients treated in Mohali can walk immediately after the procedure and resume normal daily activities the next day. Mild tightness or discomfort may occur for a few days, but there is no prolonged bed rest or hospital stay required.
Varicose vein treatment is generally covered by all insurance providers when medically indicated. At Healing Hands Clinic Mohali, the team assists patients with cashless approvals and documentation for a smooth, stress-free process.
