Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, bulging veins that appear dark purple or blue, most commonly in the legs. They develop when the one-way valves inside veins become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool and the veins to swell. While varicose veins are often seen as a cosmetic issue, they can cause significant symptoms including aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, skin discolouration, and in advanced cases, venous ulcers. Treatment ranges from compression stockings and lifestyle modifications for mild cases to laser ablation, sclerotherapy, or surgery for symptomatic or complicated varicose veins.
| Procedure | Cost Range | Hospital Stay | Recovery | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sclerotherapy (per session) | ₹4,000 – ₹50,000 | Outpatient | 2–4 weeks | Spider veins and small reticular veins; multiple sessions may be needed |
| EVLT Laser (per leg) | ₹30,000 – ₹1,80,000 | Daycare | 1–2 weeks | Great saphenous vein incompetence; gold standard minimally invasive |
| RFA Radiofrequency Ablation (per leg) | ₹40,000 – ₹1,50,000 | Daycare | 1–2 weeks | Similar to EVLT; less post-procedure pain; branded catheter cost |
| VenaSeal Glue Closure | ₹1,80,000 – ₹3,50,000 | Daycare | 3–5 days | No tumescent anesthesia needed; no compression stockings; premium option |
| Open Ligation & Stripping | ₹35,000 – ₹1,50,000 | 1–3 days | 2–4 weeks | Large, tortuous veins; severe skin changes; older technique |
Costs are approximate Chennai market ranges. Actual pricing varies by hospital, surgeon, room type, and patient complexity.
| Hospital Category | EVLT Laser (per leg) | Sclerotherapy (per session) |
|---|---|---|
| Government | ₹35,000 – ₹60,000 | ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 |
| Mid-Tier | ₹55,000 – ₹1,00,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹30,000 |
| Premium | ₹80,000 – ₹1,80,000 | ₹20,000 – ₹50,000 |
| Aggregator | ₹40,000 – ₹60,000 | ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 |
Single leg (unilateral) EVLT costs ₹30,000–₹1,80,000. Bilateral (both legs) costs 70–80% more, not double. Many hospitals offer bilateral discounts.
Sclerotherapy for spider veins is cheapest but may need 3–5 sessions. EVLT laser is the gold standard for saphenous vein incompetence. RFA offers similar results at comparable cost. VenaSeal is the newest and most expensive (₹1,80,000–₹3,50,000 per leg) but requires no anesthesia and no compression stockings.
Mild varicose veins (C2) may need only sclerotherapy. Moderate cases with edema (C3–C4) typically need EVLT/RFA plus sclerotherapy. Severe cases with ulcers (C5–C6) need comprehensive treatment with higher total cost.
Duplex Doppler ultrasound (₹2,000–₹5,000) is mandatory before any varicose vein procedure to map the venous anatomy and identify incompetent valves. This is sometimes included in packages.
Medical-grade compression stockings (₹1,500–₹4,000) are needed post-procedure for EVLT/RFA (2–4 weeks). VenaSeal does not require compression. Some packages include stockings; others charge extra.
Varicose veins surgery may be covered by insurance when the procedure is medically necessary — especially if there are documented symptoms such as pain, swelling, skin changes, ulcers, and Doppler evidence of venous incompetence. Cosmetic treatment for asymptomatic spider veins is usually not covered. Cashless treatment is available at network hospitals, and CMCHIS also covers varicose vein surgery for eligible patients. At Unittas Hospital, our insurance desk assists with cashless pre-authorisation and TPA coordination.
Unittas Hospital offers flexible EMI with 0% interest for select tenures over 3 to 24 months, with quick processing and minimal documentation.

₹4,000 to ₹3,50,000 depending on technique. Sclerotherapy: ₹4,000–₹50,000 per session. EVLT laser per leg: ₹30,000–₹1,80,000. VenaSeal: ₹1,80,000–₹3,50,000. Open surgery: ₹35,000–₹1,50,000.
EVLT is currently the gold standard with over 95% success rate, minimal scarring, daycare procedure, and 1–2 week recovery. It has largely replaced open surgery for most patients.
Yes, when medically necessary. You need documented symptoms plus Doppler evidence of venous incompetence. Cosmetic treatment of spider veins is not covered.
Most patients return to desk work in 2–3 days after EVLT. Avoid standing for long periods for 1 week.
Recurrence after EVLT/RFA is approximately 5–10% over 5 years, usually in tributary veins rather than the treated trunk. Good compression compliance and weight management reduce recurrence.
VenaSeal uses a medical-grade cyanoacrylate adhesive to seal the diseased vein from inside. It requires no tumescent anesthesia, no compression stockings, and allows immediate return to activity. The disposable catheter system costs ₹1,00,000+ per leg, which is the main cost driver.
Yes. Unittas Hospital offers EMI options from 3–24 months with 0% interest for select tenures.
