Phlebology means the study of the venous diseases. These are diseases that affect the veins of the vascular system. Varicose veins is one of the most commonly known venous diseases on the legs. They are gnarled blood vessels that are often visible through the skin as very small blood veins or larger, dilated vessels that are visible as cords.

Symptoms of advanced varicose veins

How do varicose veins arise?

How varicose veins arise has not yet been fully elucidated. There is certainly a congenital weakness of the vessel wall due to abnormalities in the proteins that form the vessel wall. As a result, the veins tend to widen with increased pressure. Malfunctioning valves in the veins prevent blood from flowing properly to the heart. This causes more blood flow and the veins expand further. This causes varicose veins. There are a number of factors that influence the development of varicose veins

Risks and Complications

As with any procedure, the varicose vein treatments may involve risks and complications. You can experience the following reactions after the treatment, even though they are very rare:

Our specialists

We strive to always have your appointments with the same dermatologist. You can ask for it if necessary. In the event of an operation, your own dermatologist also performs the operation and also provides aftercare. Since we are not a training hospital, you will not see an intern or doctor / specialist in training

Experiences with the phlebology outpatient clinic

I am very satisfied with the treating physician. Came across as very knowledgeable and friendly to me. Gave clear explanations of what was going to happen both before and during the treatment.
Pleasant people, very efficient, little waiting time. They listen carefully and are also open about expectations and possible side effects.
I came for treatment at the phlebologist, short waiting time and clear explanation about treatment. I had an open, inflamed wound for some time that was treated by the doctor. The phlebologist immediately took action by ensuring that I could see the dermatologist more than half an hour later. He started the right treatment and within a week you saw it improve. Also a good follow-up!
