Venous Malformations

In addition to common venous insufficiency, which is prevalent enough to be considered a widespread condition, some patients suffer from rarer "venous malformations." These are congenital vascular system anomalies that can lead to "sponge-like" clusters of dilated venous structures. Beyond their significant functional impact, these malformations are often aesthetically distressing for affected individuals.

Treatment typically involves a multimodal approach, including surgical or interventional correction of larger venous structures, as well as sclerotherapy or laser treatment of superficial skin vessels. It’s crucial to develop an optimal, individualized therapy plan for each patient. Treating venous malformations often requires multiple sessions to achieve lasting improvement. Interventional therapies targeting deeper veins are frequently combined with laser treatments of the skin to enhance both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
