Get relief from painful and swollen varicose veins
Do you experience visible twisted veins, leg pain, heaviness, swelling, or discomfort after standing for long periods? These may be signs of varicose veins.
Dr. Kamalakkhannan provides expert diagnosis and advanced laser treatment for varicose veins, helping patients improve both leg health and quality of life.
No. Varicose veins generally do not disappear without treatment. The underlying problem is a set of one-way valves inside the vein that have stopped closing properly, and valves do not repair themselves. Compression stockings, exercise and elevation can ease the symptoms, but they do not reverse the damage. Laser treatment closes the diseased vein so blood reroutes through healthy ones — usually as a walk-in, walk-out procedure.
Understanding the Condition
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear in the legs and feet. They develop when vein valves become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool inside the veins.
Leg veins carry blood upward against gravity. Small one-way valves inside them stop it flowing back down. When a valve fails, blood falls back and collects, stretching the vein wall — which in turn pulls neighbouring valves apart, so the problem spreads.
Over time, this can lead to swelling, discomfort, skin changes, and cosmetic concerns.
Warning Signs

Symptoms often worsen after prolonged standing or sitting.

Treatment
Modern laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure designed to close diseased veins and redirect blood flow to healthy veins.
Treatment plans are customized based on vein mapping and clinical evaluation.
What to Expect
Examination of the legs and a discussion of your symptoms, work pattern and family history.
A Doppler ultrasound maps which veins have failed valves — this determines the treatment plan.
Laser closure of the affected vein, without general anaesthesia. Most patients walk out the same day.
Compression stockings and walking are encouraged, with follow-up to confirm the vein has closed.
