Best Varicose Vein Treatment in Ludhiana: Laser Surgery by Dr. H.S. Jolly
Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic concern. They cause pain, swelling, heaviness and in severe cases, dangerous ulcers and blood clots. However with modern laser treatment, varicose veins can be treated permanently — without large cuts, without stitches and with minimal recovery time. If you are looking for the best varicose vein treatment in Ludhiana, Dr. Harpreet Singh Jolly at Prolife Hospital performs advanced laser varicose vein surgery with over 20 years of surgical expertise.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, bulging veins that appear most commonly on the legs and feet. They develop when the valves inside the veins stop working properly — causing blood to pool and the vein walls to stretch and bulge outward.
Varicose veins are extremely common. Furthermore they affect approximately 1 in 4 adults — with women being slightly more affected than men.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Several factors increase the risk of developing varicose veins:
- Prolonged standing or sitting — common in teachers, doctors, factory workers and office staff
- Pregnancy — increased blood volume and hormonal changes weaken vein walls
- Obesity — excess weight puts additional pressure on leg veins
- Family history — varicose veins run strongly in families
- Age — vein walls and valves weaken naturally with age
- Previous deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Many patients dismiss varicose veins as merely cosmetic. However they can cause significant discomfort and serious complications. Visit Dr. Jolly if you experience:
- Visible twisted bulging veins on legs or feet
- Aching, throbbing or burning sensation in the legs
- Heaviness and fatigue in the legs — especially after standing
- Swelling in the lower legs and ankles
- Itching around the veins
- Skin discolouration — brownish patches near the ankles
- Leg ulcers — open sores near the ankle that are slow to heal
- Muscle cramps — particularly at night
Do not ignore these symptoms. Furthermore untreated varicose veins progressively worsen and can lead to serious complications.
Laser Varicose Vein Treatment — Dr. Jolly’s Approach
Dr. H.S. Jolly performs Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) — the most advanced and effective treatment for varicose veins available today. This minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to close the diseased vein permanently — without any cuts or stitches.
How Laser Varicose Vein Treatment Works:
- A thin laser fibre is inserted into the diseased vein through a tiny needle puncture
- Laser energy is delivered along the length of the vein
- The heat causes the vein to seal shut permanently
- Blood naturally reroutes through healthy veins nearby
- The treated vein gradually disappears over several weeks
Advantages of Laser Treatment over Traditional Surgery:
| Feature | Laser Treatment | Traditional Surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Incisions | None — tiny needle puncture only | Large cuts required |
| Anaesthesia | Local anaesthesia | General anaesthesia |
| Procedure time | 30 to 45 minutes | 1 to 2 hours |
| Hospital stay | Same day — go home in hours | 1 to 2 days |
| Recovery time | 1 to 3 days | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Scarring | None | Visible scars |
| Recurrence rate | Very low | Higher |
Varicose Vein Treatment Options at Prolife Hospital Ludhiana
Dr. Jolly offers a comprehensive range of varicose vein treatments — selecting the most appropriate approach based on the size, location and severity of each patient’s condition:
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) The gold standard treatment for large varicose veins — performed under local anaesthesia with same-day discharge and rapid recovery.
Sclerotherapy A non-surgical treatment for smaller varicose veins and spider veins — a chemical solution is injected directly into the vein causing it to collapse and fade. Furthermore sclerotherapy is ideal for patients with multiple small veins requiring treatment.
Foam Sclerotherapy An advanced form of sclerotherapy using foam solution — particularly effective for medium-sized varicose veins. Additionally foam sclerotherapy can be used in combination with laser treatment for comprehensive results.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Similar to laser treatment — radiofrequency energy is used to heat and close the diseased vein. RFA is an excellent alternative to laser treatment for certain vein configurations.
Phlebectomy For surface varicose veins — tiny incisions are made to remove the vein segments directly. Dr. Jolly often combines phlebectomy with laser treatment for the most comprehensive results.
Complications of Untreated Varicose Veins
Many patients delay treatment for years — assuming varicose veins are just cosmetic. However untreated varicose veins can lead to serious complications:
- Venous eczema — itchy, inflamed skin around varicose veins
- Lipodermatosclerosis — hardening and scarring of skin tissue
- Venous leg ulcers — painful open wounds near the ankle that are extremely difficult to heal
- Superficial thrombophlebitis — painful blood clots forming in surface varicose veins
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — blood clots in deep veins that can travel to the lungs
- Bleeding — varicose veins close to the skin surface can rupture and bleed significantly
Therefore early treatment with Dr. Jolly prevents these serious and painful complications.
