Varicose Vein Essex

Regular veins function by an arrangement of valves that allow blood to travel to the heart. A varicose vein occurs when a valve malfunctions, which causes blood to collect inside the vein. These unattractive veins occur most commonly in the legs, are passed on genetically, and, whilst evident in older men, sometimes occur earlier in women, in the middle of pregnancy, for instance. Natural symptoms of varicose veinsapart from the prominence of the veins in legs, are: irritation, a heavy feeling in the legs, mild swelling of the ankles with ulceration, and skin discolouration.

Foam sclerotherapy is an enhanced form of varicose vein treatment that has been universally acknowledged for years as the most practical therapy. In the past, the vein was injected with a liquid solution that solidified, therefore blocking the vein from blood getting through. Foam is now used, rather than pure liquid, since the results are greater and are longer lasting. Most of our patients can resume their regular daily activities directly following treatment.
