Light legs with a smooth, even skin tone represent well-being and quality of life – but visible varicose veins (Varicose veins), swelling, or a feeling of tightness can significantly affect appearance and personal well-being. Treatment is provided by an experienced vascular surgery specialist with many years of expertise.
Causes
Varicose veins usually develop due to weakness in the vein walls and valves. This makes it harder for blood to be transported back to the heart, leading to blood pooling in the legs. Visible, enlarged veins are the result. Factors such as prolonged standing or sitting, lack of exercise, hormonal influences, or a genetic predisposition can further promote their development. A thorough assessment is important to identify the cause and choose the appropriate treatment.
Primary varicose veins
Primary varicose veins are the most common form. They usually develop without any prior illness and are often hereditary. An innate weakness of the connective tissue or the venous valves causes the veins to enlarge over time. Typical symptoms include visible, twisted veins and a feeling of heaviness or tightness in the legs.
Secondary varicose veins
Secondary varicose veins develop as a consequence of a pre-existing venous condition, for example, after thrombosis. Impaired blood flow causes increased strain on other veins, which can then become enlarged. In addition to visible changes, symptoms such as swelling or a feeling of heaviness in the legs often occur.

Vascular diagnostics by ultrasound (Duplex)
Following the personal consultation, we will carry out a detailed ultrasound examination of the leg veins. This allows varicose veins to be precisely visualised and the function of the venous system to be accurately assessed. The examination forms the basis for further treatment planning. On this basis, an individually tailored treatment concept will be developed, which is optimally matched to your medical and aesthetic starting situation.
Endovenous Laser Therapy (ELVeS)
In endovenous laser therapy, a fine laser fibre is inserted into the affected varicose vein under ultrasound guidance. Targeted heat is used to close the vein from the inside. Subsequently, the body breaks down the treated vein independently, while blood flow continues through healthy veins. The procedure is minimally invasive and particularly gentle.
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy (microsclerotherapy)
In sclerotherapy, a special active substance is introduced into the affected varicose vein, which specifically seals it. The treatment is carried out under ultrasound monitoring and is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized varicose veins or as an additional treatment. The sealed vein is broken down by the body over time.
Compression therapy
Compression therapy supports the healing process after varicose vein treatment. Targeted external pressure improves venous return and promotes regeneration. It is individually tailored and can be used both during and after treatment.
