Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged blood vessels that bulge just beneath the skin’s surface. They can vary in size and are typically blue or purple in colour. These veins become enlarged due to the weakening of the vein walls and the poor functioning of the valves inside the veins (incompetent valves).
Varicose veins are often more noticeable when standing up and may disappear when lying down.
Conditions
Spider veins
Spider veins are dilated, small blood vessels that seem near the surface of the skin, frequently creating web-like patterns on the face, legs, or other locations. While typically harmless, they can sometimes indicate underlying venous insufficiency.
Dr. Soroush Sohrabi in Dubai effectively eliminates spider veins with advanced, minimally invasive treatments, improving both appearance and vascular health. We provide safe and long-lasting results with individualized care specifically designed for each patient.

Leg Ulcers
Venous leg ulcers are chronic, non-healing wounds that develop due to poor venous circulation. They are the most common type of leg ulcer, primarily caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
If left untreated, venous ulcers can lead to severe complications, recurrent infections, and impaired mobility. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can greatly enhance healing results.
Thrombophlebitis
Thrombophlebitis refers to both inflammation of a vein and the formation of a blood clot within it. This condition most commonly affects superficial veins, leading to superficial venous thrombophlebitis. Symptoms often include pain, tenderness, and swelling along the affected vein, which may appear red, firm, and warm area on the skin. The presence of a clot can also impair blood flow, potentially causing further complications if left untreated.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Definition of deep vein thrombosis Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops within the deep veins, most commonly in the legs. This clot, known as a thrombus, can obstruct normal blood circulation, leading to symptoms such as leg swelling and pain.
Unlike superficial venous thrombosis, DVT carries a higher risk of serious complications, including pulmonary embolism, making early detection and treatment essential. For those seeking DVT diagnosis & treatment in Dubai, specialized care is available.
Skin Changes with Varicose Veins
Varicose veins can lead to progressive skin changes, particularly in the lower legs, due to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). As blood pools in the veins and pressure increases, the skin may undergo discoloration, thickening, and inflammation, often indicating worsening vein disease.
Early symptoms include dryness, itching, and mild pigmentation (skin discoloration), but more severe changes such as venous eczema, lipodermatosclerosis (skin hardening), and ulceration may develop over time.

Lymphedema
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, immune function, and circulation. When lymphatic vessels are damaged or blocked, fluid accumulates in the tissues, leading to swelling, discomfort, and skin changes. Understanding this condition is the first step towards effective lymphedema treatment in Dubai.
Leg Edema (Swelling)
Dr. Soroush Sohrabi in Dubai assesses and treats venous causes of leg edema using advanced diagnostic methods and personalized treatment plans. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is the leading cause of leg edema, accounting for approximately 70% of cases.
Venous insufficiency occurs when leg vein valves become weak or damaged, leading to blood pooling and increased pressure in the veins.This leads to fluid leakage into surrounding tissues, resulting in swelling, heaviness, and discomfort.
