Varicosis Veins

“You do not have to live with the discomfort of varicose veins; treatment is painless and easy now!”
Most people do not care about the health significance of varicose veing or believe they have no option but to live with varices. However, medical advances and technology have now rendered treatment of varicose veins painless, easy and affordable. If left untreated varices may lead to chronic pain, swelling in lower extremities, severe fatigue and discoloraiton and wounds in the skin.

Vascular Surgery Department at Acıbadem Bodrum Hospital offers the latest diagnostic and treatment methods:
Surgery: Large or particularly chunky varicose veins will be removed by surgery. The most common technique for this is ‘ligation and stripping’ where the affected veins are tied off and then removed.
Laser treatment: We also offer laser treatment, which involves the insertion of a small laser into the damaged vein using a catheter as a guide. The laser emits short bursts of energy at the vein which seals it shut. Laser treatment is used to close off truck varicose veins as well as smaller varicose veins.
Radiofrequency ablation is a newer, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. This technique uses radiofrequency energy (instead of laser energy) to heat up and create scar tissue inside the vein.

Fortunately, treatment for varicose veins no longer mean long and expensive hospital stays. Depending on the size and their number, you can get rid of your varices with same-day treatment or a maximum of one-day stay.

*The exact cost of treatment will depend on the number, extent and depty of your varices.
