Best Answer The goals of varicose vein treatment are to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. For some, the goal may be improved appearance. Home treatment-especially exercising, wearing compression stockings, and elevating the legs-is the first and often best approach. If home treatment does not help, there are treatment options. Vein surgery, called ligation and removing, is a standard treatment for problem varicose veins. But laser or radiofrequency vein treatments are likely to give good results with less risk, less pain, and a shorter recovery time.1 Because these are fairly new treatments, long-term results aren't yet known. If you plan to have laser or radiofrequency treatment, look for a doctor with a lot of experience. Ligation and removing. Incisions are made over the varicose veins, and the vein is tied off (ligated) and removed (removing). Sclerotherapy. A chemical (sclerosant) is injected into a varicose vein to damage and scar the inside lining of the vein, causing the vein to close. This usually works best for small veins. Laser treatment. Laser energy is used to scar and destroy varicose veins. This is called ablation. Endovenous laser therapy uses a laser fiber inserted into the vein. Laser ablation inside the vein makes the vein close up. Radiofrequency treatment. Radiofrequency energy (instead of laser energy) is used inside a vein to scar and close it off. It can be used to close off a large varicose vein in the leg. This ablation treatment is new and may not be available in your area. Treatment may be necessary to remove the damaged veins, treat complications, or correct an underlying problem that is causing the varicose veins. The size of your varicose veins affects your treatment options. Generally, larger varicose veins are treated with surgery (ligation and removing), endovenous laser, or radiofrequency treatment. In some cases, a combination of treatments may work best. Smaller varicose veins and spider veins are usually treated with sclerotherapy or laser therapy on your skin. Some people may want to improve how their legs look, even though their varicose veins are not causing other problems. In these cases, surgery, sclerotherapy, or laser or radiofrequency treatment may be appropriate-as long as there are no other health problems that make these treatments risky.

Question Is there an alternative method to compression stockings?
Just trying to figure out if there was a good place that you could find some decent compression stockings that won't cut up the legs for being too tight. I've got a patient that needs something like in a 2x but I'm not sure which stores would offer something in a good brand. Help?
