Varicose veins are also known as varicose which are twisted, enlarged veins that commonly occur on the legs and feet just under the skin. They occur when the valves in the veins fail to function correctly, causing blood to flow inefficiently. A varicose vein may develop into varicose ulcers on the skin at times or rupture under the skin.
Treatment for varicose veins is rarely required for health reasons, but if you have aching, painful legs and swelling, as well as significant discomfort, treatment is available. Medfine Hospitals provides the most advanced laser varicose veins treatment in Bangalore.

A thin tube is inserted into the patient’s vein and heats the tip of the catheter using either laser energy. It sends out small bursts of energy that heat the vein and seal it shut.
