Top Ways to Treat Bulging Leg Veins

If your surface level veins have become dilated, bulging, or twisted, you may be experiencing varicose veins. Heredity factors or family history, pregnancy, trauma, prolonged standing or sitting, age and obesity can cause these unattractive veins. Varicose veins are usually progressive, meaning that in most cases, they get worse over time if left untreated. Luckily there are treatment options available to reverse vein disease and the appearance of unattractive, bulging varicose veins.

  1. Compression Stockings: Varicose veins vary in their severity. Some patients find relief with conservative treatments such as leg elevation and compression stockings. Pressure on the legs with compression stockings helps reduce the size and painful symptoms of the bulging veins. Many doctors and insurance companies will recommend compression stockings before more intense treatments are performed.
  1. Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Laser Closure: During an EVLA treatment, a thin laser fiber is inserted through the diseased vein via a tiny needle, involving no incision, and thermal energy is delivered to the diseased vein, effectively sealing, or “closing” the unhealthy vein, and eliminating all bulging varicose veins. The blood is then re-routed through healthier veins, thus restoring normal blood circulation.  There is minimal downtime, scarring, and bruising.
  1. Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy: Varicose veins, or tributary branches, that are just below the skin’s surface and not visible to the eye, often need to be treated using Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy. Using ultrasound, an FDA-approved medication is injected into the unhealthy veins, just below the skin’s surface. The medication creates inflammation within the lining of the vein, causing it to seal itself shut, which the body then reabsorbs over time.
  1. Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Ambulatory Phlebectomy, also known as micro-phlebectomy, or “hook” phlebectomy, is a micro-extraction procedure used to remove the actual superficial bulging varicose veins, both large and small, through very small (1/16 – 1/8 inch) micro-incisions. This is performed after the endovenous laser ablation that treats the actual underlying cause of the bulging varicose veins. The micro-incisions are so small that they seldom require a stitch, and once healed, are rarely visible.
