Benefits of Avulsions / Phlebectomies
There are several benefits to treating varicose veins with avulsions / phlebectomies like long-lasting results, low risk of complications, walk-in walk-out treatment and enhanced cosmetic appearance . However three main benefits of avulsions are as follows:
- Targeted Treatment
- Minimally Invasive
- Effective Results
Targeted treatment
This procedure allows for the precise removal of specific, problematic varicose veins. It is especially beneficial for larger veins that are not suitable for other treatments like sclerotherapy.
Minimally invasive
Unlike traditional vein stripping, Avulsions are minimally invasive. The procedure involves small incisions, resulting in less tissue damage, minimal scarring, and a quicker return to daily activities.
Effective results
Avulsions provide long-term relief from the treated varicose veins, with a low likelihood of recurrence in the treated areas.
Many patients experience immediate relief from symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discomfort in the legs following the procedure. This can significantly improve daily comfort and quality of life
The procedure
- Preparation: Local anaesthesia is applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort.
- The Process: Small incisions are made over the varicose veins, and special tools are used to gently remove the affected veins.
- Closure and Recovery: Incisions are small and typically do not require stitches; they heal naturally with minimal scarring. Recovery time is relatively short, and most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
