Diagnosis and Treatment
Symptoms
- Heavy and tired legs
- Swelling
- Pain, nighttime cramps
- Itching, tingling
- Externally visible veins on the leg
- Open ulcers on the leg
Beautiful Legs Are Also Healthy Legs
Veins have to work against gravity. This can be quite strenuous—especially when the venous valves no longer close properly. In such cases, the veins are under great pressure and struggle to transport used blood back to the heart. Healthy veins play an important role in the overall health of our body.
Varicose veins are usually caused by connective tissue weakness. Spider veins are often the first sign of venous insufficiency.
Risk factors for varicose veins:
Varicose veins are usually caused by connective tissue weakness. Spider veins are often the first sign of venous insufficiency.
If you have these symptoms, a medical vein examination is recommended.
Depending on the findings, we can choose from a wide range of individual treatment methods.
Diagnosis
Color Ultrasound Examination
The color duplex examination allows us to examine all of your leg veins (both deep and superficial) in a very short amount of time. The vein examination is completely painless, performed with a modern color duplex ultrasound device, and is a global standard.
Other EXAMINATION OPTIONS
- Digitalte Fotophlethysmographie
- • Digital Photoplethysmography • 4-channel Pulse Oscillography (for arteries) • Electronic Pulse Oscillography
- Electronic Pulsoscillography
With an accurate diagnosis, varicose veins can be treated efficiently, innovatively, and tailored individually to your needs.
treatment methods
Micro-foam sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. It involves injecting a special foam solution into the affected veins, which causes the veins to collapse and eventually disappear. This technique is effective for treating both small and medium-sized varicose veins and is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
In the micro-sclerotherapy Aethoxysklerol in foam is injected with a very small needle into the vein. Mostly several treatment sessions to be performed.
Varicose veins can be targeted and effectively removed without surgery. This method uses ultrasound to guide the injection of foam into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. It is a minimally invasive treatment option that offers precision and effectiveness.
Miniphlebectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the removal of side branches of varicose veins and is considered a gentle and cosmetically sophisticated procedure. The procedures can be performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The varicose veins are removed through tiny incisions using Varady hooks, while healthy vein segments are preserved. This approach ensures minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, lymphatic vessels, and skin nerves. The main instrument used in this procedure is the Varady hook. You can resume daily activities the following day.
Modern laser technology allows us to treat large varicose veins in the leg under local anesthesia without the need for general anesthesia, achieving excellent aesthetic results. The procedure typically lasts about 30 to 40 minutes, and usually, only one treatment per varicose vein is necessary. For aftercare, a compression stocking is worn for just one to two weeks. Normally, the patient can resume their usual activities immediately after the procedure. Wearing compression stockings helps reduce the formation of bruises and supports the healing of the treated vein sections. Additionally, thrombosis prophylaxis is provided for about five days. This is an extremely precise, innovative procedure without scarring, which is both gentle and painless.
