Varicose veins are blood vessels that no longer function properly or have become dilated due to poorly closing valves. Because they can cause pain, eczema or eventually an open leg, it is better to remove varicose veins. One way to do this is to cauterize the varicose vein with the VNUS treatment.

The Divi "Treating varicose veins with VNUS" provides patients with more information about the treatment.
