Do treated veins come back?

Do treated veins come back?

by Vein Clinic / Monday, 03 January 2011 / Published in Vein Doctors Group

varicose veins before treatment patient9 - Vein Doctors GroupNo, but you will develop new veins for the same reason you developed the veins that have been treated. The treated veins are gone for good but new reticular veins and associated telangiectasia (spider veins) will develop over time.

The time for new veins to develop depends mainly on factors such as family history, pregnancy and occupation. It is expected that a forty year old lady would have a “vein free” period of somewhere around 7 years after treatment before she feels the need for a bit of a “tidy up”.

Younger people can expect around 5 years (might be worse if have several pregnancies over this period) and older patients up to 10 years between treatments.

    So based on this information it is really up to each person how much they might get out of treatment in regard to time. What about men? Do they get longer amount of time?

    The comments regarding recurence apply to cosmetic treatments not to the treatment of varicose veins by ELA or UGS. Women outnumber men for cosmetic treatments at least 50 to 1. It is reasonable to expect,because the hormonal and child bearing factors
    are not relevant with men,that they could expect for cosmetic treatments to last longer. I am however not aware of any scientific study that confirms this.
