Understand The Condition

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins — usually appearing dark blue or purple — that most commonly develop in the legs and feet. They occur when the tiny one-way valves inside the veins that help push blood back toward the heart become weak or damaged.

When these valves fail, blood flows backward and pools in the vein instead of moving upward, causing the vein walls to stretch and bulge under the skin. Left untreated, varicose veins can progressively worsen — leading to chronic swelling, skin discolouration, eczema, and in advanced cases, non-healing ulcers or clots that need urgent medical attention.

Varicose Veins vs. Spider Veins

VARICOSE VEINS

  • Size: Large, bulging, rope-like

  • Colour: Blue / dark purple

  • Depth: Deeper, raised above skin

  • Symptoms: Pain, heaviness, swelling common

  • Treatment: EVLT, RFA, VenaSeal, surgery

SPIDER VEINS

  • Size: Thin, thread-like

  • Colour: Red or blue, web-like

  • Depth: Close to skin surface, flat

  • Symptoms: Usually cosmetic, rarely painful

  • Treatment: Sclerotherapy, surface laser

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

  • Visible, bulging blue or purple veins

  • Aching or heavy feeling in the legs

  • Throbbing or cramping, especially at night

  • Swelling in the ankles and feet

  • Itching around the affected vein

  • Skin discolouration near the ankles

  • Restless legs syndrome

  • Skin that feels hard or thickened

  • Non-healing sores or ulcers near ankles

  • Worsening symptoms after long standing/sitting

If you notice any of the warning signs above, it’s advisable to consult a vascular specialist early — timely treatment prevents complications and gives the best cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Root Causes

Causes and Risk Factors of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop due to a combination of genetic, lifestyle and physiological factors that weaken vein walls or valves over time.

🧬

Genetics

Family history significantly raises your own risk.

🚶

Standing / Sitting

Long hours on your feet or desk increase venous pressure.

🤰

Pregnancy

Increased blood volume adds pressure on leg veins.

⚖️

Obesity

Excess weight sustains pressure on lower-limb veins.

Age

Vein walls lose elasticity and strength over time.

🌡️

Hormonal Changes

Contraceptives, therapy and menopause weaken vein walls.

🛡️

Prior DVT

Past clots can permanently damage vein valves.

🛋️

Sedentary Lifestyle

Inactivity reduces the calf-muscle pump needed for circulation.

How Are Varicose Veins Diagnosed?

An accurate diagnosis helps determine exactly which veins are affected and the best treatment approach for your case.

  • Detailed clinical examination of the legs while standing and lying down

  • Review of your medical history, symptoms and family history

  • Doppler ultrasound to map faulty valves and blood flow direction

  • Assessment of the deep venous system to rule out DVT or deeper disease

This step-by-step evaluation allows Dr. Varun Kumar J to recommend the most effective, least invasive treatment tailored to your specific vein anatomy.

Point By Point

Benefits of Laser Varicose Veins Treatment

How EVLT compares to conventional open surgery, point by point.

  • No large cuts — treatment is done through a single tiny needle entry point

  • Local anaesthesia only, avoiding the risks of general anaesthesia

  • Same-day discharge instead of multi-day hospital stay

  • Significantly less post-procedure pain than open surgery

  • Faster return to walking and daily activities

  • Lower risk of infection due to the absence of open wounds

  • Better cosmetic outcome with virtually no visible scarring

Caveat: Laser treatment is highly effective for most cases, but very large or complex venous networks may occasionally need a combined approach — your surgeon will advise this after ultrasound evaluation.

Laser vs Traditional Vein Stripping for Varicose Veins Treatment

EVLT (LASER)

  • Incision: Single needle prick

  • Anaesthesia: Local (tumescent)

  • Stay: Day-care, home same day

  • Recovery: 2–3 days to normal activity

  • Scarring: Minimal to none

VEIN STRIPPING SURGERY

  • Incision: Multiple large cuts

  • Anaesthesia: General / spinal

  • Stay: 1–3 days admission

  • Recovery: 2–4 weeks

  • Scarring: Visible surgical scars

For most patients, EVLT offers a faster, safer and more comfortable path back to a normal, active life compared with traditional stripping surgery.

Treatment Menu

Varicose Veins Treatment Options at Hari Laser Clinics, Bangalore

Every patient’s vein anatomy is different — Dr. Varun Kumar J selects the right procedure after a detailed Doppler assessment.

1. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) Gold Standard

How it works:

  • Ultrasound identifies the faulty vein and marks the treatment path

  • A thin laser fibre is inserted into the vein through a tiny puncture

  • Tumescent local anaesthesia numbs the area around the vein

  • Laser energy heats and seals the vein wall from the inside

  • Blood is naturally rerouted through healthy nearby veins

Procedure Time45–60 minutes
AnaesthesiaLocal (tumescent)
Hospital StayDay-care — same day discharge
Return to Work1–2 days
Success Rate95%+
ScarsNone to minimal

2. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

RFA uses radiofrequency energy instead of laser light to heat and close off the diseased vein. It works on a similar principle to EVLT — minimally invasive, day-care, and virtually painless — and is a good alternative for certain vein sizes and locations.

3. VenaSeal Closure System

VenaSeal uses a specialised medical adhesive to seal the faulty vein shut, without heat or tumescent anaesthesia. It’s particularly useful for patients who want to avoid compression stockings after the procedure.

4. Sclerotherapy

A solution is injected directly into smaller varicose or spider veins, causing them to collapse and fade over a few weeks. This is often used for residual smaller veins after EVLT, or as a stand-alone treatment for early-stage disease.

5. Ambulatory Microphlebectomy (Stab Phlebectomy)

Through tiny 1–2 mm punctures, bulging surface veins are gently removed using fine hooks. It’s often combined with EVLT to address visibly bulging clusters that the laser alone won’t remove.

6. Compression Therapy

Medical-grade compression stockings support healthy circulation, reduce swelling, and are commonly used both as a conservative first step and as part of post-procedure recovery.

Commonly Asked Questions

At Hari Laser Clinics, laser varicose veins treatment (EVLT) typically costs between ₹60,000 and ₹90,000 per leg, depending on the number of veins involved and the complexity of your case.

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is widely considered the gold-standard treatment — it’s minimally invasive, painless, and has a success rate above 95% for most patients.

Laser treatment closes the faulty vein permanently in the vast majority of cases, with success rates typically reported above 95% on follow-up Doppler scans.

Yes. The entire procedure is performed through a single tiny needle puncture, with no large incisions, stitches, or hospital admission required.

Most patients resume normal daily activity within 2–3 days and return to desk work within a week, with full cosmetic results visible over 3–6 months.

Early signs include leg heaviness, aching, mild swelling around the ankles, and visible bluish veins that become more prominent after long periods of standing.

Varicose veins are caused by weakened vein valves, often influenced by genetics, prolonged standing or sitting, pregnancy, obesity, age and hormonal changes.

Yes — compression stockings, lifestyle changes and sclerotherapy for smaller veins can help manage early-stage varicose veins without a procedure.

Untreated varicose veins can progressively worsen, leading to chronic swelling, skin changes, and in advanced cases, ulcers or blood clots that require urgent care.

Recurrence is uncommon after EVLT when performed correctly, though new veins can occasionally develop elsewhere over time, especially without lifestyle precautions.

Many standard health insurance policies cover treatment when symptoms are medically documented; our team can help verify your specific coverage.

Cashless treatment may be available depending on your insurer — we recommend confirming pre-authorisation with our front desk ahead of your procedure.

Consult a specialist as soon as you notice persistent leg heaviness, visible bulging veins, swelling, or skin changes — early treatment is simpler and more effective.
