Less-invasive treatment for unsightly leg veins as good as surgery
Research we're watching
A minimally invasive treatment for treating varicose veins is as effective as surgery to remove the faulty veins, according to a new study.
Most varicose veins — gnarled, bluish veins just under the skin's surface — result from problems with the great saphenous vein, the large vein located near the inside of the leg that runs from the ankle to the upper thigh. The surrounding muscles and one-way valves in the vein weaken, a condition called venous insufficiency.
