What is the Best Treatment for Bulging Veins on Top of Feet

Endovenous surgery can be very successful in the right hands or a vascular surgeon. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

Most bulging veins on the top of your feet are necessary to carry blood from your feet back to your heart. The best treatment depends on the size and extent of your veins.


Endovenous laser can be performed but is expensive, painful and probably overkill.

Ambulatory phlebectomy is probably the best way to treat these veins. This procedure removes the veins under local anesthesia with the fewest side effects.

In some cases, sclerotherapy may also be effective.


The major side effect of all treatments is prolonged swelling of the feet that can last a month or two. To determine what treatment, if any is best, see your dermatologic surgeon.

We specialize in the treatment of varicose veins everywhere in the body except on the male genitalia.Treatment of veins on the feet can be treated with microphlebectomy (if large) or sclerotherapy commonly and sometimes using a combination of both. Some surgeons utilize expensive endovenous lasers for these veins but this practice is not practical or technically useful in most cases. Watch the video clip provided on the link below.
