Studies estimate that one in five adults live with varicose veins and about 16 per cent of adults with varicose veins are age 60 or older. 65 per cent of adults in this age group who are diagnosed with varicose veins have reported at least one varicose vein related leg symptom.

Dr Ashish Dhadas, Varicose Veins Specialist, at Surekha Varicose Veins Clinic, Dombivli, said,
“Avinash Mistry was suffering from varicose veins for many years. For some reason, the disease was not cured in an initial stage. As a result, the skin of his feet became black and had wounds.

If varicose veins are left untreated the vein becomes thick, hard, and painful.For effective treatment of varicose veins in Panvel, consider Legs Vein Treatment.
Dr Dhadas adds “Varicose veins can cause serious complications as the disease progresses. It is easier to treat varicose veins in the early stages and the results are extremely good. In advanced stages, treatment is difficult and results take time. Laser Treatment of Varicose Veins is an accepted and preferred modality of treatment worldwide.
It is superior to open surgery in terms of results. Also, it is scarless, painless and the patient can resume to his routine work within 48-72 hours.” EVLT is an Endovenous Laser Treatment of varicose veins. It is painless, scarless and there are no/minimal complications. The patient can resume his/her daily activities at the earliest.

CLaCS is a combination of different technologies like augmented reality, transdermal laser, sclerotherapy and skin cooling for local anesthesia, Dr Ashish Dhadas concluded.
MrAvinashMestry said, “I was suffering from varicose veins since the age of 20 but was unaware of this disease. But after the treatment of varicose veins at this age of 53, my 33 years of pain and swelling has gone off. Also, the wounds have healed. I am thankful to Dr.AshishDhadas for all the right guidance and treatment.”
