What Are Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that can appear ropy or cord-like and often occur in the great saphenous vein (GSV) system in the legs, so they frequently appear on the calves and lower thighs.

Your doctor calls it edema, but you know it as swollen ankles and legs. Occasional puffiness after a long day on your feet may not be concerning, but persistent swelling can indicate other conditions, including some that you should never ignore.
The go-to treatment for varicose vein removal is endovenous ablation. It’s not, however, a single technique. Three types of ablation are commonly used, each with its own characteristics, to tackle small, medium, and large varicose veins.
Veins move blood back to the heart, but there are conditions when they can fail, causing blood to pool and press against vein walls. Usually affecting the lower legs and feet, venous insufficiency can cause slow-healing wounds called venous ulcers.

"Dr. Banda did laser lipo on me to help correct contour irregularities[...]. I think he has a very nice bedside manner. He is direct but soft spoken."
