Misconception #1: The only treatment for varicose veins is surgery which will leave a large incision scar.

While this may have been true a few years ago, today varicose veins can be treated effectively without invasive surgery. Nowadays, smaller veins can simply be treated with sclerotherapy. This involves injecting a chemical into the vein that helps the vein to close and will minimize or get rid of their unsightly appearance. These drugs are always FDA approved. Bigger veins are also treated non-surgically. An endovenous laser technique is used to solve bigger vein problems in the legs.

Misconception #2: I’ll have to undergo anesthesia and have considerable downtime if I want to get rid of my varicose veins.

Thanks to the updated technologies and techniques in varicose vein removal this is no longer the case. Your varicose veins can be treated in office with no anesthesia required. This means you can drive yourself in and out of treatment. When surgery was necessary, people had considerable downtime after the procedure was done. Luckily, this is no longer the case. Because the procedure is minimally invasive, you can return to daily activities the moment your treatment is done.

Misconception #3: Varicose vein removal is too expensive for me.

Varicose veins can be removed at almost no cost to you. Many insurances cover different varicose vein removal procedures. While you may be responsible for a co-pay or a deductible, you won’t have to break the bank to get rid of your varicose veins. Check with your insurance to see their policy on varicose vein removal procedures.
