The “foam & film” method: Innovation for pain-free legs
What is “foam & film” therapy?
The “foam & film” method developed by Dr. Ragg is unique worldwide and makes you Varicose veins “summer-ready” in just one session. This innovative treatment combines state-of-the-art sclerotherapy with a novel film dressing.
How the treatment works
Step 1: Treatment with microsclerotherapy Varicose veins are treated with a special variant of sclerotherapy. The microsclerotherapy acts specifically on the affected veins, which then retract and become invisible. The treatment is practically imperceptible.
Step 2: Fixation with VenaFilm® The treatment result is fixed with a transparent, wafer-thin film. This innovative alternative to compression stockings is inconspicuous, waterproof and much more comfortable – ideal for the summer months.
Your advantages at a glance
- Only one treatment session required
- Practically painless
- No visible compression stockings
- Bathing and swimming possible again immediately
- Transparent film dressing instead of bothersome stockings
IntraShape®: The “internal compression” for lasting results
Revolutionary hyaluron therapy
IntraShape® is a therapy developed by Dr. Ragg that preserves the veins and tackles the problem at its root. With this method, diseased veins under the skin receive a constricting layer of hyaluron – a kind of “internal compression.”
Treatment procedure and advantages
The treatment is completely painless for you as a patient and takes very little time. The results:
- Long-lasting effect over many years
- No more compression stockings necessary
- Gentle treatment without external intervention
- Optimal summer therapy without restrictions
This method is particularly suitable for patients who are looking for a permanent solution without the burden of compression stockings.
Other modern treatment methods without compression
Most angioclinic® vein therapies work very well without compression stockings. We have already successfully treated hundreds of patients with modern, patented techniques:
Laser and radio wave therapy
Both the treatment with vein laser and the radio wave vein therapy for saphenous veins (Vena Saphena magna or parva) do not require compression stockings after treatment. These procedures:
- Leave no wounds
- Do not destroy connective tissue
- Do not cause bruising
- Have a minimal risk of thrombosis
Further treatment options
- Glue procedure: Gluing techniques for veins such as VenaSeal®
- Sclerotherapy: Modern microsclerotherapy
- Aesthetic treatment: Aesthetic vein therapy for visibly beautiful results
All of these methods give you maximum freedom of movement – including sunbathing and swimming.
When are compression stockings useful?
Modern assessment of a classic aid
Compression stockings have an important function: they counteract increased venous pressure with external pressure. They can be useful in certain situations – but after modern treatment methods, they are usually no longer necessary.
Useful applications
With professional strain With very long periods of standing or sitting at work, knee-length compression stockings (class 1) can have a supportive effect. After a professional ultrasound diagnosis your doctor will advise you individually whether and which stocking is suitable for you. For air travel On flights over six hours, a travel stocking or knee stocking class 1 can help against congestion (“swollen feet”). However, studies show that a slightly blood-thinning tablet is often more effective. The combination of both offers optimal protection. In case of advanced venous insufficiency In late stages of chronic venous insufficiency, recognizable by swelling and water retention (edema), compression class 2 can be useful. However, more important is the treatment of the cause of venous insufficiency.
Why modern therapies do without compression
In the past, with surgical vein operations, compression stockings were absolutely necessary. The operation caused:
- Wounds and tissue destruction
- Bruising and bleeding
- Post-traumatic edema
- Increased risk of thrombosis
All modern procedures such as hyaluron, laser, radio wave or sclerotherapy leave no wounds and do not destroy connective tissue. Compression as a means against these risks is therefore no longer necessary.
Natural compression: Bathing as therapy
The healing power of water
A special tip for the summer: When walking in 130 cm deep water, there is a pressure like with a compression stocking class 2 – and that is very healthy for the legs! After many of our treatments, you can jump into the water immediately if you want to.
