Varicose veins need proper medical treatment. Leaving the condition untreated can result in painful swelling due to leakage of blood into the surrounding tissues of the leg. Also, the skin can become discolored causing hyperpigmentation. Therefore, it is wise to undergo the surgery for the permanent solution to varicose veins.

The recovery time for varicose veins after the laser treatment is short and free of complications. The patient recovers fully within 1-2 weeks, depending upon the condition of the patient.

If one starts early then varicose veins can be prevented. The preventive measure is to exercise and by wearing stockings. Other methods of prevention are:

• Elevation of the legs at regular intervals is also recommended
• One should avoid standing for longer periods
• Don’t cross your legs while sitting down
• During the pregnancy, one should lie on the left side with your legs elevated on the pillow. This will prevent the fetus from pressing on the leg veins and will decrease the chance of developing varicosities.
