Both men and women in Dubai visit us at Cornerstone Clinic seeking treatment for varicose veins. Although they are not generally harmful and are considered more of a cosmetic issue, they can cause discomfort, pain, swelling, and make us self-conscious about our appearance. The good news is that progress in the field of vein treatment has outpaced almost every other technology over the last few decades. With the development of minimally invasive varicose vein treatment options, treating your vein issues has become safer, easier, and more reliable than ever before. Our vascular surgeon and specialist in regenerative medicine, Dr. Vincenzo Di Donna, always looks for innovative and non-invasive treatments for his patients and can integrate traditional medical therapies with new diagnostic and curative technologies to offer the best result for the treatment of varicose veins in Dubai.
In this article, we will look at the top treatments that Dr. Vincenzo Di Donna recommends for the treatment of varicose veins:
What are the various veins?
Before we look at the treatment options, it is important to understand a little more about what varicose veins are. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and swollen veins that usually appear blue or purple and can be seen under the skin’s surface. They can occur in any part of the body but are most commonly found in the legs, particularly in the calves and thighs. Varicose veins develop when the small valves inside the veins that keep blood flowing in the correct direction (toward the heart) become weak or damaged. As a result, blood can flow backward and pool inside the vein, causing it to stretch and become enlarged, leaving you with bulgy veins that appear red and dark in colour- varicose veins.
What treatments does Dr. Vincenzo recommend?
When it comes to the treatment of varicose veins, there are so many options now available that it can be hard to understand which treatment is right for you. It is therefore important to choose the right doctor who has years of experience treating veins and who will first discover the underlying issues that are causing your vein issues before recommending treatment.
Dr. Vincenzo Di Donna is a specialist in alleviating and removing varicose veins in Dubai and generally uses the below treatment options for his patients:
Ozone therapy: Ozone therapy is a relatively new treatment for varicose veins that has gained popularity in recent years. Ozone therapy involves injecting ozone gas into the affected veins, which causes the veins to shrink and collapse. The therapy is believed to work by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the growth of healthy tissue.
Cutera laser: Cutera laser treatment is a revolutionary new technology that eliminates unsightly veins and blood spots without the need for injections. Cutera laser is a non-invasive treatment that delivers pulses of light energy into the affected area, which cause the blood within the vein to thicken, eventually destroying the vein altogether. The blood is then redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface.
Vein surgery: Vein surgery is a more invasive treatment option that involves the removal of the damaged vein. This procedure is typically done under general anaesthesia and involves making small incisions in the affected area. The damaged vein is then removed through small incisions, and the incisions are closed with stitches and the scar is minimal.
