Vein Treatment

Leg vein diseases cause both medical and cosmetic issues. The widespreadness of the diseases has contributed to a rapid development of phlebology (vein research and treatment) all over the world, including Latvia. Vein varicose is one of the most common diseases and 26% of women and 24% of men are suffering from the disease. Currently, almost every second person aged 30 to 70 who is living in comfortable conditions in the countries of civilized world has vein diseases.

Over the last decade, the modern and minimally-invasive methods (EVLT, RFO, SVS and bioglue for vein covering) have taken an important place in the treatment of vein diseases. Even if initially the methods came from Germany and USA, a great amount of minimally-invasive and modern vein surgery proportionally to the classical vein surgery are made in Latvia where the sector of phlebology has gradually developed over last 15 years.
