Ultrasound examinations play an essential role in diagnosing varicose veins, determining vein locations, identifying contraindications, and handling insurance claims. However, they don’t directly determine the type of treatment you’ll receive.
According to Dr. Jeon, the most crucial factor in choosing a treatment is always your symptoms. Procedures for varicose veins inherently focus on relieving discomfort and improving your quality of life.
Modern treatments such as laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, or VenaSeal generally have similar long-term outcomes. The main reason newer technologies are developed is to minimize discomfort after the procedure, helping you recover more comfortably and quickly.
