The Latest Varicose Veins Treatments Doctors Are Recommending
If you’ve been covering up your legs or dealing with aching, swollen veins for too long, you’re not alone. Varicose veins affect nearly one in three adults—and while they’re often brushed off as “just cosmetic,” the truth is, they can signal something deeper going on with your circulation. Let’s break down the latest treatments doctors are recommending right now:
1. Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
Still one of the top choices for treating larger varicose veins, EVLT uses laser energy to close off faulty veins. It’s minimally invasive, requires only local anesthesia, and most people are back on their feet the same day. No stitches. No hospital stays.
2. VenaSeal™ (Medical Glue for Your Veins)
This newer technique uses a medical-grade adhesive to seal off diseased veins. There’s no heat, no tumescent anesthesia, and virtually no bruising. It’s fast, painless, and especially helpful for people who want to avoid needles or downtime.
3. Clarivein® (Mechanochemical Ablation)
This unique option combines a rotating catheter with a chemical solution to close the vein—without heat or surgery. It’s quick, quiet, and ideal for people with vein issues who might not qualify for thermal ablation.
4. Foam Sclerotherapy (Modernized for 2025)
Foam sclerotherapy is getting a tech upgrade. Doctors now use ultrasound-guided techniques to treat deeper veins more accurately, leading to better cosmetic and medical outcomes. It’s perfect for both spider veins and reticular veins in difficult spots.
5. Compression + Lifestyle Support (Still Key)
While high-tech procedures grab headlines, the foundation of vein care still includes compression therapy, movement, and elevation. In 2025, newer compression garments are more breathable, fashionable, and effective—making them easier to wear all day.
