Varicose veins are enlarged twisted vessels that become primarily visible on lower legs. These veins give an appearance of lumpy skin in the affected area. Generally, these malfunctioned veins do not cause any health issues and only pose cosmetic discomfort. At times though, they can cause physical pain as well. However, most people with varicose veins on their legs feel shy in wearing shorts or sports suits. Therefore, they seek Varicose Veins Treatment Dubai for medical reasons and not merely for aesthetic reasons.

Causes of Varicose Veins
The main reason behind getting varicose veins is the poor performance of valves in the legs. The valves can stop functioning due to a variety of reasons. This malfunctioning causes blood accumulation in the vessels. Eventually, these veins cease to perform their natural function. It is not a disease-oriented condition.
Below we have mentioned some common causes of varicose veins Dubai:
- Obesity

- Prolonged sitting or standing
- Hormonal fluctuations
- Genetics or hereditary factors

Varicose Veins Treatment
When it comes to treating this condition, the best Varicose Vein Treatment Dubai is the laser. Although varicose vein surgery is also available, most doctors and patients prefer Laser Treatment due to its minimally invasive nature.
Two types of laser treatments are available for treating varicose veins:
Simple Laser Treatment
- In simple laser treatment, the varicose vein specialist in Dubai uses laser energy to target veins present below the skin.
- He/she will make the laser beams incident on the swollen veins from the outside the skin.
- The laser beams destroy the veins, and the heat energy blocks them.
- Generally, the recovery period for this treatment is very brief.
- Patients can return to their routine activities immediately after the procedure.
Endovenous Laser Treatment
- Endovenous laser varicose veins treatment Dubai is used to treat more prominent varicose veins inside the legs.
- The treatment is performed after the administration of local anesthesia.
- For this purpose, a thin tube is passed into the affected vein(s) after making small incisions.
- The tube has a laser fiber on its tip, which provides laser energy to the veins.
- The energy once absorbed by the veins helps its collapse, and the body quickly absorbs it.
- Since the varicose veins do not perform any functions anyway, their collapse does not affect the leg’s functionality.
Pre-Procedural Care

- Get at least 8 hours of sleep the night before the procedure.
