Αbnormally dilated veins whose valves have been irreparably damaged constitute varicose veins. The development of unsightly varicose veins usually occurs below the knee and in the thigh, due to the regression of a significant amount of blood to the legs and not to the heart as it should be. Apart from being an aesthetic problem, varicose veins can be associated with serious complications. They are usually connected to a vein by the central superficial veins of the foot, which are also characterized by insufficiency.

The most modern, safe and with best results method of treatment of varicose veins is the laser treatment. It is the most reliable and short treatment, with which the patient can immediately, even the next day, return to his daily activities.
