Removal of varicose veins is performed on an outpatient basis using a gentle laser procedure. Using a small puncture or a miniature incision from 1-4 mm, an optical laser beam (fibre) is injected into the vein to seal the damaged vein.
Removal of varicose veins or varicose veins does not belong only to aesthetic treatments, but is mainly preventive. It eliminates serious health problems, such as thrombosis or tibial ulcers, diseases of the lymphatic system. The removal of varicose veins focuses on both varicose veins and large varicose veins. Genetic predispositions, lifestyle, overweight, smoking, strenuous standing at work or, on the contrary, long sitting, lack of exercise, pregnancy, or a combination of these factors are involved in their formation.
Removal of varicose veins is performed either by sclerotization or with a high-power high-tech laser. Both methods are nowadays more popular than classical surgical treatment due to their effectiveness and gentleness, and they put less strain on the body.
Laser varicose vein removal
Removal of varicose veins is performed on an outpatient basis using a gentle laser procedure. Using a small puncture or miniature incision from 1-4 mm, an optical laser beam (fiber) is injected into the vein to seal (close) the damaged vein, after which it is removed or left to heal. The procedure is performed under ultrasound to make the removal of varicose veins as effective and controlled as possible. Varicose vein removal using a laser beam uses light energy, which is converted into heat energy when applied to the vein being treated. The laser beam is then easily absorbed by the bloodstream.
The great advantage of laser varicose vein removal is that only the damaged parts of the veins are removed, it is the most gentle modern procedure without hospitalization, incapacity or restriction in everyday life.
The minimally invasive laser varicose vein removal procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and leaves no scarring.
Removal of varicose veins by sclerotherapy (injection)
Removal of varicose veins with the help of sclerotherapy is carried out in a simple way – a special medicinal solution is injected into the affected vein (this form of treatment is most often performed for small or medium-sized varicose veins, or it can be used to supplement the treatment of laser varicose vein removal) by a microneedle, which breaks down the vein and is then absorbed by the body. After the treatment of varicose vein removal by sclerotherapy, it is recommended to wear elastic bandages or compression stockings to prevent blood from returning to the vein and causing it to bulge again.
The final effect of the removal of varicose veins by sclerotherapy depends on the correct compression action (tightening), so it is very important to follow the instructions of the attending physician for at least one month and to wear the compression bandage or stockings for the entire period, with the exception of personal hygiene.

Removal of varicose veins is an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia, by agreement it can also be performed under analgosedation, exceptionally for more sensitive patients the procedure can be performed under full anaesthesia. The laser beams penetrate the superficial venous tissue with the desired radiofrequency energy without damaging the dermis. When the light energy is applied, hemoglobin is absorbed, followed by thermal heating and elimination of varicose veins. The procedure is almost painless, takes around 30 minutes, and after the treatment the patient returns to everyday life without restrictions.
When varicose veins are removed by sclerotherapy, the injection site is immediately covered with a gauze patch after the solution is injected, and a tightening elastic bandage is placed on the treated area; the patient goes home after 2 hours.
