Long-term benefits of varicose vein removal include improved circulation, decreased risk in ulceration of the legs, and fewer aches and pains in the legs. In addition, the deep vein system will improve and the risk of deep vein complications will be lowered.

Generally, there are no long-term effects after vein treatment. In most cases, only the surface veins are treated.

Varicose veins are removed in order to improve symptoms such as aching, cramping, tired legs, restless legs and heaviness in the legs. These particular veins have the potential to develop clots in them and ultimately lead to changes in the legs called venous insufficiency. So, the long-term effects of removing varicose veins should be to improve all of the above symptoms and improve your quality of life.

There are no deep varicose veins because technically they are all superficial. It is a chronic disease and recurrence is common. Deep vein removal is almost never done. All vein surgeries attempt to improve circulation and symptoms. If circulation is normal and there are no problematic symptoms, vein treatments should not be done.

Deep veins in the muscle are not removed. The deep system is the main route for venous return. Varicose veins generally refer to visible, bulging veins that are on the surface of the skin. I am not aware of any long-term effects of removing them.

Varicose veins are actually superficial veins. You don't need them.
