Vein treatment for common problems

Varicose veins on a leg

Varicose veins

Varicose veins are swollen, twisting and discoloured veins that may cause pain and discomfort. Any superficial vein can become varicose, but the condition most commonly affects your legs. That’s because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body. How varicose veins look and feel vary from person to person. For some people, it’s a minor cosmetic issue. For others, it can cause aching pain and requires treatment to avoid more serious problems from developing.

Varicose veins can also be a side effect of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the amount of blood moving around your body increases; this supports the growing fetus but can also produce varicose veins.

Spider Veins

Spider veins are clusters of tiny blood vessels that develop near the surface of your skin, most commonly on the legs or face. They are essentially a milder version of varicose veins as they are both caused by abnormally enlarged blood vessels. Spider veins are often red, blue or purple in colour and have the appearance of a spiderweb. While they are typically only a cosmetic problem at time of treatment, they can lead to more serious problems such as chronic aching, dermatitis and skin ulcers.

Reticular Veins

When you see small, dilated veins around 1mm to 3mm in diameter with a bluish to greenish colouration, those are most likely reticular veins. They are typically bigger than a spider vein but smaller than a varicose vein. Like the other types of vein conditions, weak or damaged valves in the veins are the main cause. Reticular veins also share the same risk factors, treatment options and the potential to develop into more serious problems.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that forms in the deep veins of the leg. A deep vein thrombosis in the thigh carries a risk of pulmonary embolism, which is when the clot detaches and lodges in the pulmonary artery – the main blood vessel to the lungs. If the clot is large enough, it can block the artery and cause death.

It’s important to get an accurate diagnosis from a specialist, as deep vein thrombosis is often mistaken for lymphoedema and chronic venous disease. Once diagnosis has been made, patients can begin treatment, which may include surgery or blood thinning tablets.

To book vein treatment for any of the listed conditions, make an appointment with the Melbourne specialists at Vein Care.

Having my varicose veins was something I had thought about for a while but was hesitant. After my initial consult with Dr Dhillon, all my fears and doubts were put to rest.Dr Dhillon thoroughly explained all the procedures and answered my questions , so much so that I booked my procedures the very next day. Over the next few months Jo and Dr Dhillon really took care of me.Dr Dhillon explained everything he was doing at the time and always ensured that I was comfortable with the procedure. The results have certainly exceeded my expectations and not having bulging varicose veins on the back of my leg has certainly made me more comfortable wearing dresses. I cannot recommend Dr Dhillon highly enough, a very talented, personable and humble man.

Excellent to the highest standard ! I would have to go back in time 25 years since my legs looked this good, all the bubbly varicose veins gone. Everything is explained and costed beforehand, this removed all the anxiety before I underwent surgery. After every surgical procedure a review was carried out a week or so later. There's quite a number of appointments involved to cover everything on both legs but the appointment schedule has a degree of flexibility. It's a bit of a journey at the start but you'll be glad you stayed the journey to the end when you see the results.

I had bad varicose veins in my legs and decided after 20 odd years to do something about it. I did my research found Dr Dhillion on line and saw the amount of years he had been practising in this type of treatment. I booked a consultation with him and he took me through the process of what to expect. Over the next six months i had three types of treatment and the results are just amazing. No more self conscious moments when summer arrived and my legs don't ache or itch anymore. I cannot thank Dr Dhillion enough and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get rid of varicose veins and feel so much better about themselves, i do. Thank you Dr Dhillion for everything you have done for me and for fixing my legs. Special mention to Jo and Abbie on reception who were always kind and helpful with any appointments and queries i had. Thank you all 🙂
