Treatment of Varicose veins
At Clinique Omicron, our doctors determine whether you have venous disease through a diagnostic ultrasound and a rigorous evaluation process. The phlebology department treats varicose veins, spider veins and chronic venous disorders. Depending on the results, targeted treatments such as sclerotherapy or endovenous laser are proposed. Each protocol is tailored to the location and severity of vein damage, from superficial varicosities to incompetent saphenous veins.

What is phlebology?
Phlebology is a branch of medicine devoted to the study of conditions affecting the veins, in particular venous insufficiency and varicose problems localized in the lower limbs. A phlebologist is a qualified physician who assesses, performs physical and ultrasound examinations, makes diagnoses and administers treatments for venous problems.
Venous insufficiency occurs when the veins develop health problems and can no longer effectively perform their role of circulating blood from the extremities to the heart. This condition is widespread, and our knowledge of it has increased significantly in recent years. The disease is known to be chronic and progressive, hence the importance of early detection and prompt intervention to prevent serious long-term complications.
