Varicose vein surgery

Premier Clinic Operating Theatre

Laser surgery for varicose veins is an outpatient procedure and is minimally invasive. An optical laser beam seals off the damaged vein via an incision of between 1 and 4 mm.

The procedure addresses both cosmetic concerns and the prevention of serious conditions associated with varicose veins, improves quality of life and provides relief.

About the procedure

The main reasons to have varicose vein surgery with us

We are a renowned plastic surgery clinic in Prague. Our clinic is the largest private plastic surgery facility in the Czech Republic, which enables us to offer our clients a wide range of services.

A team of experts
We are among the most sought-after specialists in the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery throughout the country.

This success would not be possible without our outstanding team, which comprises experienced doctors from various disciplines.

Specialisation in laser procedures
We offer our clients comprehensive care, ranging from minor laser procedures, such as scar removal and varicose vein surgery, to laser anal bleaching.

We also carry out procedures in the fields of corrective dermatology and gynaecology.

Minimally invasive
Traditional varicose vein surgery leaves scars, is very painful and requires up to 6 weeks of recovery.

We offer modern, less invasive alternatives in the form of laser removal or sclerotherapy for varicose veins.

Precise results
During laser treatment, spider veins and large varicose veins are removed.

Using this gentle method, we effectively eliminate the visible (cosmetically unsightly) signs of varicose veins and other unpleasant physical symptoms, such as a feeling of heavy legs, pain and swelling.

Comfort and pain-free
treatment A major advantage of laser varicose vein removal is that only the damaged parts of the veins are removed; it is the gentlest modern procedure, requiring no hospitalisation, sick leave or restrictions on daily life.

Long-term effects
The longevity of the results from laser treatment for varicose veins varies greatly from person to person.

Some people may experience relief after a single treatment and have no further problems for the rest of their lives. For others, the effect may be less permanent.

How is laser surgery for varicose veins carried out?

The removal of varicose veins, like carpal tunnel surgery, is an outpatient procedure carried out under local anaesthetic (or under analgosedation by arrangement); in exceptional cases, for more sensitive patients, the procedure may be carried out under general anaesthesia.

Laser beams penetrate the superficial venous tissue with the required radiofrequency energy without damaging the dermis.

When exposed to light energy, haemoglobin is absorbed, causing subsequent thermal heating and the elimination of varicose veins.

The procedure is virtually painless, lasts around 30 minutes, and after treatment the patient can resume their daily life without restriction.

When removing varicose veins by sclerotherapy, the injection site is immediately covered with a gauze plaster after the solution has been injected, and a compressive elastic bandage is applied to the treated area; the patient is discharged home after 2 hours.

Recovery following laser surgery for varicose veins

The removal of varicose veins is a simple, gentle and non-restrictive procedure in aesthetic medicine.

After treatment, the skin may show signs of redness or minor bruising for a few hours, which will fade within a week.

Following the removal of varicose veins, we recommend increasing physical activity (brisk walking, cycling, jogging).

The results are usually very effective, though they depend on genetic predisposition and the quality of the vessel walls. A visible improvement in appearance usually occurs around 4 weeks after the removal of varicose veins.

Each of us has a genetic predisposition that determines our state of health. You can influence many of these factors through a balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle and preventative measures.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about laser treatment for varicose veins.

What causes varicose veins?

Genetics are largely to blame, followed by an unhealthy lifestyle. Varicose veins often affect people who are overweight, who do not get enough exercise, who stand for long periods, or, conversely, who sit for long hours.

This disrupts the even flow of blood in the lower limbs and increases the pressure on the veins.


Who is laser vein removal not suitable for?

Laser treatment cannot be carried out if the skin in the relevant area is damaged or if you suffer from a chronic skin condition.

There must also be no acute inflammation in the veins. Pregnancy is also a clear contraindication.

Before the procedure, you should inform your doctor of your family medical history and any acute or chronic health problems.


How long do the results of laser vein removal last?

The duration of the results varies from person to person, but in most patients they are permanent (up to 70 per cent). Generally, however, it is reported that the condition recurs in 20 to 30 per cent of patients after a period of 10 years.
