Varicose veins and spider veins affect millions of individuals and can lead to discomfort, leg fatigue, and visible skin changes if left untreated. At our vein clinic in Dubai, we offer modern, minimally invasive treatments tailored to each patient’s needs—from laser ablation and radiofrequency therapy to sclerotherapy and ClariVein®. Whether seeking relief from aching legs or looking to improve cosmetic appearance, this comprehensive guide explores the most effective procedures available for vein care in the UAE. Learn how expert vascular assessment and personalised treatment can restore both leg health and confidence.
A: EVLA is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins that uses laser energy to seal off the affected vein. It is performed under local anaesthesia and usually takes less than an hour.
A: RFA uses thermal energy delivered through a catheter to heat and close off the diseased vein. Like EVLA, it is performed under local anaesthesia and provides fast recovery. It’s especially effective for straight, larger vein segments.
ClariVein® is a non-thermal, non-tumescent treatment that combines mechanical and chemical ablation (MOCA). It avoids heat and multiple injections, making it ideal for patients sensitive to discomfort or with veins at risk for heat-related complications.
A:Venaseal® is a medical adhesive system used to close varicose veins without heat, tumescent anesthesia, or compression stockings. It offers minimal discomfort and rapid return to normal activity.
A: Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the vein that causes it to collapse and be reabsorbed. While it's best known for treating spider veins, foam sclerotherapy is also used for small varicose veins. Multiple sessions may be needed.
A: Compression stockings apply graduated pressure that improves blood flow and reduces swelling. While they don’t eliminate varicose veins, they help relieve symptoms and slow progression. They're often used after vein procedures as well.
A: Phlebectomy is a technique where small varicose veins are removed through tiny skin incisions using a special hook. It’s often combined with EVLA or RFA.
A: Doppler ultrasound is essential for diagnosing vein problems and planning treatment. It maps out reflux, shows vein diameter, and helps target the exact segments needing intervention. It’s non-invasive and takes about 15-30 minutes.
A: There is a chance of recurrence if new veins become weak or if underlying issues aren’t addressed. However, treating the root cause properly with ultrasound-guided techniques can lower this risk.
A: Laser treatment uses focused light energy to heat and collapse spider veins through the skin surface. It’s needle-free, quick, and ideal for small veins, especially on the face or legs. Multiple sessions may be required for best results.
