If home remedies are not producing the desired results, there are many varicose vein treatment options available to relieve pain and improve the appearance of varicose veins.

This procedure involves applying heat to the varicose vein, causing it to collapse and heal closed. It is a highly effective, minimally invasive treatment option. Also know as Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), this method effectively treats varicose veins with minimal discomfort and recovery time.
During a microphlebectomy, varicose veins are removed by making several small incisions along the targeted area and pulling the veins through. Microphlebectomies are often done in conjunction with vein stripping to maximize effectiveness.
In sclerotherapy, a solution of sclerosant and lidocaine is injected into the varicose veins. This reroutes blood to healthier veins, causing the varicose veins to scar and eventually be absorbed by the body. It is a common and effective treatment.
Vein stripping involves tying off or removing the damaged veins in the leg through small incisions. This procedure is often reserved for more severe cases of varicose veins.
