There are several treatments available for varicose veins, with the most common ones being venous ablation and venaseal. These treatments primarily target larger veins. Venous ablation uses radiofrequency energy to destroy veins, while venaseal uses a glue-type technique. Both procedures are done in the office, and the choice of which treatment to use depends on the patient's individual condition. For smaller veins, sclerotherapy is used, which is especially effective for spider veins and reticular veins. Although most treatments are done in an office setting and involve minimal recovery, some patients with larger varicosities may require surgery.
