Many people suffer from vein conditions that can be embarrassing and painful. Sometimes, the veins in the body engorge or dilate, and the cause can be any of a variety of reasons, including: • heredity • age • gender • sudden and extreme weight gain • prolonged sitting or standing Veins Treatment Philadelphia with VeinGogh VeinGogh is a method of treatment for conditions where the veins are dilated, such as small angiomas, recalcitrant vessels, spider veins, and fine telangiectasia. Using the Microburst Technology™ developed by VeinGogh, the VeinGogh Ohmic Thermolysis System sends 4 MHz bursts of energy through a probe inserted into the blood svessel. The energy heat bursts force the blood to coagulate and the vessel wall to collapse. The collapse vessel will then be slowly absorbed by the body. With the Microburst Technology™, the procedure can be done with little discomfort and no damage to the outer layers of skin. Veins Treatment Philadelphia with Sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy is a method of treatment for conditions such as varicose veins and other similar venous malformations. The process includes injecting a sclerosing solution into the vein, which will cause the vein to shrink or collapse. The vein will not allow blood to flow freely through it, which will force the body to absorb it. This process is used primarily for small varicose veins on the legs and large spider veins. Without treatment of such vein conditions over time, patients could experience pain or an inability to walk over time. Skin conditions could develop such as skin loss or skin ulcers (also called venous ulcers). These skin ulcers could lead to carcinoma or sarcoma if left untreated. The most dangerous result of untreated venous conditions is blood clotting. While blood clotting generally happens to the affected vein, it can extend deeper into the underlying veins to become a serious health issue. It is important that people who are starting to develop varicose or spider veins pay attention to symptoms such as aching or heavy legs, ankle swelling, cramps during sudden movement, bruising that takes longer to heal, or restless leg syndrome. These signs could indicate a more severe condition that needs to be treated. When seeking treatment, patients should look for the least invasive vein treatment Philadelphia has to offer. VeinGogh and Sclerotherapy offer an alternative to surgery.
