Vein Treatment Varicose Veins Laser Lipo & Vein Care Center Ask the Doctor

Are endovenous laser ablation and radio frequency ablation suitable for varicose veins in the upper part of the thigh? I consulted my surgeon for alternative techniques, he said sclerotherapy would not work. Would these other two methods be suitable?

Endovenous ablation is appropriate if there are leaking valves in saphenous system. If however, your saphenous system is normal, then sclerotherapy may be more appropriate. Sclerotherapy is for smaller veins and foam sclerotherapy is also very effective for treating larger veins.
