VNUS (also known as Radio Frequency Ablation) is a relatively new procedure for the treatment of varicose veins. VNUS medical technologies was founded in 1995 and is the world leader in products for venous diseases. VNUS  currently markets the closure system of products for those of us who suffer from venous problems such as varicose veins.

 Since 1999 over 100,000 people have received the VNUS closure procedure and many clinical studies have have shown that this closure system can provide many benefits to patients. When tested against vein stripping (the most common surgery, the one i have had) the benefits of VNUS included

  • Faster recuperation time

  • Faster return to work and normal activity.

  • Less post op pain

  • Higher quality of life scores than vein stripping.

  • Minimal scars

80% of patients treated by this closure system returned to normal activities the next day. This is pretty impressive stuff i think you will agree. The reason i am writing about it is because it is a major advance in the treatment of varicose veins. It is available all over the world now and was probably available at the time i had my operation.

Read the following testimonial about VNUS. If this is not proof enough that it works then read this:-  Using the VNUS closure system, the recurrence of varicose veins is just 2.3% after 5 years. Using the old method of stripping there is a 20% recurrence rate at one year, and this rises to 70% after 5 years! Wow! no wonder my veins have returned.

"I was out the door and walking immediately."

Julie is a high school teacher and is on her feet all day. She complained of hot, achy, and swollen legs. Both her parents suffer from vein problems and her mother had vein stripping. Julie has sought various treatments for her veins over the years though the veins always reappeared. In 1998, she had both her veins stripped which left lots of scars. They also reappeared.

Being recommended for the VNUS Closure® procedure by Dr. Owens, Julie received treatment on both legs. Of the experience, Julie said, "it was pain free. You'd feel an "ouch" and then it was gone." She also had phlebectomy to remove the spider veins. "I was out the door and walking immediately." Julie went shopping right after the procedure; her symptoms were gone almost instantly. "I feel like I might be able to wear shorts this summer!" Also, Julie adds, "you're more active when your legs don't ache…do more things."
