Hello. Definitely it's always better to opt for getting rid of the varicosities because the more time they stay its gonna cause more adverse effects. The Varicose veins in its earlier stages we advice for the laser surgery, which gives the best cosmetic effect and relief of the symptoms with post procedure customized stocking. In case of long standing >grade 4 Varicose veins, where skin changes and ulcers are formed, we suggest surgical ligation and stripping which gives complete treatment.
