Varicose vein treatment cost in Delhi generally starts from ₹15,000 depending on whether you need sclerotherapy, laser ablation (EVLT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), or surgical stripping. The right figure for you depends on the number of veins involved, the recommended treatment technique, and whether one or both legs need attention.

Dr. Dinesh Kumar Mittal, Director and Head of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, brings over 25 years of vascular surgical experience and a Fellowship in Endovascular Stenting (Milan, Italy) to every varicose vein consultation, ensuring the treatment plan and its cost are matched precisely to your condition rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Varicose Vein Treatment Cost in Delhi: Procedure-Wise Breakdown
Varicose vein treatment cost depends most heavily on the technique used. Sclerotherapy is the most affordable option for smaller veins, while laser and radiofrequency ablation cost more but treat larger, symptomatic veins more durably.
| Treatment Type | Approximate Cost Range (INR) |
| Sclerotherapy (per session) | Starting ₹15,000 |
| Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT) | Starting ₹70,000 |
| Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) | Starting ₹70,000 |
| Vein Stripping / Ligation (open surgery) | Starting ₹50,000 |
| Bilateral / Complex Multi-Vein Treatment | Starting ₹1,20,000 |
These are indicative estimates. Your exact varicose vein treatment cost is confirmed only after a Doppler ultrasound and clinical evaluation.
What Determines the Cost of Varicose Vein Treatment?
The final bill is shaped by four main factors: the treatment method chosen, the number and length of veins involved, whether one or both legs are affected, and the hospital’s facility charges.
- Type of procedure: Sclerotherapy is the least expensive but may need repeat sessions; EVLT and RFA cost more upfront but usually resolve larger veins in a single sitting.
- Number of veins and legs treated: Bilateral (both-leg) or multi-vein cases naturally cost more than a single, localised vein.
- Severity (CEAP classification): Early-stage spider or reticular veins cost less to treat than advanced varicose veins with skin changes or ulceration.
- Diagnostic workup: A venous Doppler ultrasound (₹1,500–₹4,000) is essential before any procedure to map the faulty veins.
- Anaesthesia and facility type: Local anaesthesia procedures done as day-care cost less than those requiring hospital admission.
- Consumables: Laser fibres, RFA catheters, and sclerosant solutions each carry a fixed cost that varies by brand.
Detailed Cost Breakdown for Varicose Vein Treatment
Understanding what each component of the bill covers helps you compare quotes accurately across hospitals.
- Pre-Procedure Investigations
| Investigation | Estimated Cost (INR) |
| Venous Doppler Ultrasound | ₹1,500 – ₹4,000 |
| Blood Tests (CBC, coagulation profile) | ₹1,500 – ₹3,500 |
| Consultation Fee | ₹800 – ₹2,000 |
- Procedure and Consumables
This covers the surgeon’s fee, day-care or OT charges, and the device used: a laser fibre for EVLT, a catheter for RFA, or the sclerosant for sclerotherapy. Device-based procedures (EVLT/RFA) carry a higher consumable cost than sclerotherapy or open surgery. - Hospital Stay
Most varicose vein procedures are done as day-care treatment, with the patient discharged the same day. Open surgery for extensive disease may require a 1-night stay, adding ₹4,000-₹14,000 depending on room category. - Post-Procedure Care
| Service | Estimated Cost (INR) |
| Compression Stockings | ₹1,500 – ₹4,000 |
| Follow-Up Doppler | ₹1,500 – ₹3,500 |
| Follow-Up Consultation | ₹800 – ₹1,500 per visit |
Varicose Vein Treatment Cost in India: City-Wise Comparison
Delhi NCR offers competitive varicose vein treatment pricing compared with other major Indian metros, without compromising on vascular surgical expertise.
| City | EVLT/RFA (INR) | Sclerotherapy (INR) |
| Delhi / NCR | ₹70,000 – ₹1,50,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹40,000 |
| Mumbai | ₹85,000 – ₹1,80,000 | ₹20,000 – ₹45,000 |
| Chennai | ₹95,000 – ₹1,40,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹35,000 |

| Hyderabad | ₹85,000 – ₹1,35,000 | ₹15,000 – ₹35,000 |
Note: Costs vary based on hospital infrastructure, the surgeon’s experience, and the specific device or consumable used.
Varicose Vein Treatment Cost for International Patients
Patients travelling from the UK, USA, or GCC countries find varicose vein treatment in Delhi considerably more affordable than equivalent laser or RFA procedures at home, without any compromise on accreditation or outcomes.
| Currency | EVLT / RFA | Sclerotherapy |
| USD | USD 850 – 1,850 | USD 200 – 500 |
| GBP | GBP 680 – 1,480 | GBP 160 – 400 |

Frequently Asked Questions
How Common Are Varicose Veins in India? expand_more
Varicose veins are far from rare: research by Shah et al. (2023) estimates that they affect nearly 37.25% of the Indian population, making early diagnosis and cost-appropriate treatment relevant to a very large number of adults, particularly those who stand for long hours or have a family history of vein disease.
Is laser treatment for varicose veins painful? expand_more
No. Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT) is done under local anaesthesia through a tiny puncture, so most patients feel only mild pressure and are able to walk immediately afterwards.
