PRP for varicose veins?

PRP is not recommended for the treatment of varicose veins. Platelet rich plasma, essentially 'plasma' is derived from your own blood and does not cause closure or clotting of the varicose veins. As you can imagine, plasma normally runs in the veins and the arteries of your body. 
A good starting point is to visit your local vascular surgeon, get evaluated for possible symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (valve leak), an ultrasound of the leg veins including the deep and superficial system, a possible conservative management with compression stockings and a plan of treatment. For varicose veins not accompanying any symptoms, it becomes a cosmetic approach of treatment. 

There are no studies that show that varicose veins are helped or venous insufficiency symptoms are relieved with PRP.I recommend a trial of compression stockings followed by treatment. I recommend VenaSmart compression stockings, The Vein Doctor's Choice. Hratch L Karamanoukian MD FACS
