But is it possible to treat varicose veins without surgery?
Until two decades ago, stripping surgery was considered the most common treatment for varicose veins; But this method had a lot of pain, a high risk of complications and a long recovery period.

1. Intravenous laser (EVLT)
Laser is one of the most accurate methods of treating varicose veins with injection and laser without surgery. In this method, the laser fiber enters the vein through a very small hole and closes it with controlled and precise heat. This technique is ideal for smooth and thick veins of the thigh and leg, and its success rate is reported to be over 95%. Patients usually return to their normal work and activities the next day. The correct implementation of this method by elite specialists like Dr. Majid Faraji is very important.
2. Sclerotherapy (injection of medicine to close the vein)
A popular and minimally invasive treatment for superficial and small veins is sclerotherapy. In this method, a special substance is injected into the vein and causes the walls to stick together and close the vein. This treatment is a very good choice for mild to moderate varicose veins and usually requires a few short sessions.
3. Foam Therapy
Foam sclerotherapy is the more advanced version of traditional sclerotherapy in which the drug is prepared in the form of foam and enters the vein under ultrasound guidance. The foam has more contact surface with the vessel wall and allows the treatment of thicker vessels. This method is considered a very effective option for patients who do not have the conditions to use laser.
Newest Thermal and adhesive methods for treating varicose veins without surgery
Another generation of non-surgical varicose vein treatment methods have been proposed, which are called thermal and adhesive methods. These methods include radiofrequency and intravenous glue treatment.
1. Radiofrequency (RFA)
In this method, radio waves are used and in many patients it causes less pain and bruising than laser. RFA usually has stable results of more than 93% and is suitable for large vessels.
2. Venous glue treatment
Undoubtedly, vein tape treatment can be considered one of the most modern methods of treating varicose veins without surgery. To perform the operation, a special biological glue is inserted into the vein and it is closed within a few seconds. In this treatment, there is no need for varicose socks after the operation, and the patients return to life and activities the same day. They return to normal.
