Treating varicose veins

People suffering from varicose veins often experience the following symptoms in their legs: pain, aching, heaviness, skin discoloration, and ulcers. This is because varicose veins do not function properly and return blood back to the heart.

Fortunately, Dr. Seble Gabre-Madhin with the Center for Advanced Surgery in Tavares offers endovenous laser ablation, a state-of-the-art treatment that provides relief from unsightly and painful veins. During the procedure, laser energy is administered to the problematic vein or veins, causing them to collapse. Blood is rerouted to healthier veins, resulting in improved circulation and decreased symptoms. There is also minimal bleeding and bruising.

“I have used this procedure on young people and also on people in their 80s,” Dr. GabreMadhin says. “They are able to resume their normal activities the following day. Of course, before the surgery, we fully assess all patients to determine if the problem stems from veins, arteries, or a neurological problem.”
