04Treatments
Non-surgical varicose vein treatment and other methods
The method is chosen according to the examination and Doppler ultrasound findings, the structure of the vein and the person’s overall health.
Non-surgical varicose vein treatment
An overview of methods applied from inside the vein instead of a surgical incision in venous insufficiency, and when they are considered.
Why non-surgical methods?
Treatment options without incisions, performed as outpatient procedures
In suitable patients, varicose veins can be treated with methods applied from inside the vein, such as laser, radiofrequency or foam sclerotherapy. The doctor decides which method suits you after an examination and colour Doppler ultrasound.
Access without incisions or stitches
The procedure is performed through a needle or a thin catheter inserted through the skin.
Local anaesthesia
Procedures are usually performed under local anaesthesia while the patient is awake.
Outpatient treatment
Procedures mostly do not require a hospital stay; the doctor sets the return to daily life individually.

05Patient guide
Frequently researched topics
The questions patients ask most often before an appointment, and the basics of the process.
Short answers
What happens during the examination?
Your symptoms and medical history are discussed and your legs are examined. If needed, the structure of the veins and the blood flow are assessed with a colour Doppler ultrasound.
Do all varicose veins need treatment?
No. Treatment decisions depend on symptoms and on examination and imaging findings. In some cases lifestyle advice and compression stockings with follow-up may be sufficient.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bringing any previous test results, a list of the medicines you take and notes on how long your symptoms have lasted makes the assessment easier.
