PAYMENT

Treatments Are Covered By Insurance, But Time To Act Is Now!

Vein problems cause poor circulation and symptoms like aching, heaviness, tiredness, swelling in feet ankles, and calves, cramping or 'charley horse', and restlessness in legs. Left untreated, the condition continues to advance leading to skin discoloration and infections, blood clots, and sores that heal poorly.

The doctor evaluation and ultrasound scan enable us to confirm that vein treatment will help you. This evaluation and scan along with treatments (if indicated) are covered by almost all insurance companies including Medicare and Medicaid. However, much like all your other doctor visits, copays and deductibles will apply.

Keep in mind that although treatments are virtually painless, safe, and effective, they may require a few visits to allow you some healing time.

So, if you have been procrastinating, face a brand new deductible on January 1, and still want to start the new year with new legs, the time to act is now.

Call for your Free Consultation today. Our staff will guide you through insurance benefits and coverage, so you can be on your way to healthier legs before the end of the year.

Schedule your appointment today, and let your insurance plan work for you!

Varicose Vein Treatments

Varicose Vein Treatments

Varicose Veins Treatment using Laser

What is Endovenous Laser Ablation Vein Treatment?

Varicose veins treatment using Endovenous Laser Ablation, or EVLA, is a non-surgical and minimally invasive varicose veins treatment that offers an effective alternative to the surgical stripping of veins. It is performed in the office under local anesthetic using our unique numbing system. We also offer needle-free numbing for the best comfort. Endovenous Laser Ablation is the safest, most effective, and long-term solution that science and modern medicine offers for varicose vein treatments.

How Does the EVLA Procedure Work?

Under ultrasound guidance, a thin fiber-optic probe is inserted through a tiny entry point, usually near the knee. Laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein so that blood cannot flow through it. This eliminates unsightly bulging and enables the blood to be diverted to healthy veins in the leg, thereby alleviating any symptoms. Immediately after the procedure patients can resume daily activity. Most patients are able to return to work immediately.

Laser Treatment of Varicose Veins

Innovative ThermaLite 1470 nm Laser System

varicose veins treatment using laserAlsara Vein Clinic exclusively uses the leading edge EVLA technology (1470 nm laser system), which decreases discomfort and bruising, while maintaining the unparalleled efficacy and safety of laser technology. Studies have shown that Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is more effective in treating varicose veins than Radiofrequency Ablation (VNUS Closure). Traditional laser machines have utilized lower frequencies (810 nm or 980 nm) and target blood (hemoglobin) within the veins. However, there was more, although temporary, bruising and soreness noted with these laser frequencies than with radiofrequency ablation. The new ThermaLite 1470 nmlaser machines target water in the vein wall instead of hemoglobin, which results in much less discomfort, practically no bruising, and a fast return to normal activities. This is particularly important for people living active lifestyles who want to resume their activities right away and would like to wear shorts or skirts. The new 1470nm offers the best of both worlds. Alsara Vein Clinic has treated numerous patients using the new 1470 nmLaser with almost no discomfort or any bruising after the procedure. Our patients cannot be happier with the results.

Varicose Veins Treatment using VenaSeal Closure System

FDA-approved VenaSeal

What is VenaSeal™ Vein Treatment?

VenaSeal™ is a revolutionary FDA-approved medical-grade superglue for the treatment of varicose veins. The VenaSeal™ Closure System is a non-thermal treatment option that seals – or closes – the diseased vein using a small amount of specially formulated medical adhesive that is delivered to the diseased vein. The adhesive permanently seals the vein, and blood is rerouted through nearby healthy veins. Unlike other treatment options, only a single injection of numbing medication is needed, and no compression stockings are necessary post-treatment, which reduces discomfort and recovery time. Many patients are able to return to normal activity immediately after the procedure.
