The main cause of varicose veins is a weakness of the venous valves. Normally, these valves in the veins ensure that blood is transported towards the heart. If they are damaged or too weak, blood can flow back and pool in the veins.

In addition to endovenous procedures, we also offer the 'classic' surgery, known as vein stripping. In this procedure, the affected vein is surgically removed, which can be effective especially for a large vein diameter.

This laser therapy is a very gentle procedure that does not require large incisions, particularly avoiding the groin incision necessary in traditional varicose vein surgery.

Varicose veins are primarily a genetic issue. Other risk factors for the development of varicose veins include female gender, pregnancies, standing and sitting occupations, as well as obesity.
