Varicose veins are defined as dilations of veins that are found to be insufficient but at no time should they be underestimated, as they may represent a serious underlying disease. In one way or another, varicose veins conspire against natural aesthetics. For this reason, the specialist in Aesthetic Medicine will advise you if you have to perform any diagnostic test before undergoing a treatment of varicose veins.
What are the symptoms of varicose veins?
Some symptoms are usually heaviness, stinging and pain. Although many patients do not suffer from pain, it is always good to consult your specialist for a professional assessment. In addition, lymphatic drainage massages, pressotherapy, cavitation and other aesthetic treatments must always be under the control of the treating physician. Failure to do so could trigger or aggravate a problem that did not exist at the time. It is important to follow these guidelines, as the body’s circulatory system is delicate and must be cared for.
What are the types of varicose veins?
Varicose veins are classified between deep and superficial. In addition, depending on their size they can be small, medium or large. The treatment they require is performed by sclerosis with or without foam. This consists of the infiltration of a substance into the varicose vein by laser or surgery.
When is this treatment recommended?
Specialists always advise that the best time to start this treatment is during the winter, since when a varicose vein is treated, it can disappear between 8 and 12 weeks later. It is also important to note that this treatment is comfortable, fast and safe and the patient can return to normal life once the session is over.
