Does the Closure Procedure eliminate all varicose veins?
No. Over a period of years, skin which has been deformed by varicose veins undergoes a structural change. While the Closure procedure treats the venous disease that is the underlying cause of varicose veins, the damage done to the veins by years of reflux may be irreversible. In such cases, physicians typically perform additional procedures, such as phlebectomy, to remove the remaining varicose veins at the time the Closure procedure is done.
