Endovenous Laser Therapy
Endovenous Laser Therapy is a minimally invasive procedure using duplex ultrasound to map out the saphenous vein and then a laser emitting energy to seal it shut. Thermal Ablation (heat) causes the contraction and permanent eradication of the varicosed vein. This treatment not only provides pain free relief for uncomfortable and unsightly varicose veins but also requires a shorter recovery time without scarring. This procedure is very effective and is performed in one office visit using local anesthesia. There is no down time and produces successful results that are permanent.
VNUS Closure®
VNUS Closure is a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicose veins. Using targeted radio-frequency (RF) to seal the vein and reroute blood flow to healthy veins, VNUS Closure causes the treated veins to eventually collapse and be absorbed by the body’s immune system. This treatment is quick, easy, leaves no scarring, takes only a few minutes and can be performed as an outpatient procedure. It produces successful results and is a simple and reliable method of removing varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy
Used commonly for spider veins and small varicose veins, Sclerotherapy is considered by Phlebotomists to be the most effective treatment for varicose veins and spider veins available. This treatment eliminates the uncomfortable veins by injecting a small volume of liquid (a salt based solution) directly into the diseased vein which irritates the lining of the blood vessel. Eventually the vessel dries out and turns into scar tissue that is absorbed by the body. Desired results require 3-5 treatments on average and the veins disappear gradually over the 3-5 months following the procedure. Sclerotherapy produces excellent cosmetic results while improving circulation and blood flow.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a treatment that involves removing a large area of varicose veins by placing tiny micro incisions on the surface of the skin and using a phlebectomy hook to pull the diseased varicose vein out through them. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and does not require surgical stitches. The only aftercare required is a compression bandage to be worn for 1-2 weeks following the procedure. The treatment produces relief for both cosmetic and clinical symptoms of varicose veins and can be conveniently and comfortably done in the office.
