Non-Surgical Treatment of Varicose Veins in Turkey – A Modern, Gentle and Effective Approach

Varicose veins are a manifestation of chronic venous disease - a progressive condition in which veins dilate, elongate, and twist. They are most commonly observed on the surface of the lower extremities and can cause both aesthetic and serious health discomfort.

Diagnosis: the first step toward proper treatment

Successful treatment begins with a thorough examination by a qualified specialist. In Turkey, diagnosis is performed with precise ultrasound diagnostics (Doppler ultrasonography), which visualizes the venous system and establishes the degree and location of damaged veins. This allows the selection of the most suitable method for the specific patient.

What does non-surgical treatment of varicose veins involve?

Non-surgical treatment includes minimally invasive, gentle techniques that do not require traditional surgical intervention, sutures, or hospital stays. High-technology methods are used that provide excellent results with minimal risk and a short recovery period.

Among the main advantages are:

• Treatment without general or spinal anesthesia
• No scars or incisions
• Ability to quickly return to daily activities
• High effectiveness and long-lasting results

Methods for non-surgical treatment of varicose veins

We apply minimally invasive treatment of varicose veins in accordance with the latest European and global standards, which guarantee high effectiveness, minimal discomfort, and fast recovery for the patient.

Most commonly used techniques:

• Sclerotherapy - injection of a special solution into the vein, which causes the walls to adhere and excludes it from the venous circulation. Suitable for smaller superficial veins.
• Foam sclerotherapy - the solution is turned into fine foam for denser and more effective coverage of larger veins.
• Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) - through a thin catheter, radiofrequency energy is introduced, which heats and closes the damaged vein from the inside.
• Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) - uses laser energy with a thermal effect, leading to permanent closure of the problematic vein.

Recovery after non-surgical treatment of varicose veins

Non-surgical treatment of varicose veins is associated with a fast recovery period, since the methods used are gentle and have minimal impact on tissues.

After the procedure, mild pain or sensitivity is possible, which usually passes quickly. Most patients return to their daily activities the same day.

Light physical activities such as walks are recommended, while heavy loads should be avoided for some time. Compression stockings used after the procedure help with faster recovery and reducing swelling. They are usually worn for several weeks.

Regular follow-up check-ups are important for monitoring results and, if necessary, for additional treatment.

Is non-surgical treatment of varicose veins in Turkey safe?

Non-surgical treatment of varicose veins is considered a modern, safe, and effective method, especially when performed by experienced specialists in certified medical centers. Minimally invasive procedures are applied, also called bloodless methods, which spare tissues, do not require surgical intervention, and allow fast recovery.

Although risks are rare, possible complications include mild infection, bruising, or deep vein thrombosis. Therefore, it is important that treatment is performed under strict supervision by a qualified specialist and if unusual symptoms appear, medical help should be sought immediately.

Our team of experienced specialists selects the most suitable method for non-surgical treatment - whether it is sclerotherapy, laser ablation, radiofrequency therapy, or a combined approach, with the goal of maximum effectiveness and safety for the patient.
