Vein Treatment - Overview

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and VenaSeal™ are both non-surgical and minimally invasive varicose vein treatments that offer an effective alternative to the surgical stripping of veins. These procedures are performed in the office under local anesthetic using our unique numbing system. EVLA and VenaSeal™ are some of the safest, most effective long-term solutions available for varicose vein treatments.

Also known as Echosclerotherapy, this is a method of treating varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency uses medication that is injected into a vein, causing it to close. Healthy veins then take over to correct blood flow back to the heart, resulting in symptom improvement. Varithena® is a new, cutting-edge treatment option approved by the FDA in 2013. It is one of the most popular and effective treatments available.

Treatment of spider veins includes injection sclerotherapy and/or thermolysis. Sclerotherapy uses a special light to isolate the vein and a small amount of medication (sclerosant) is injected inside the vein. The medication "closes" the vein and stops the flow of blood. Thermolysis using VeinGogh™ is a breakthrough treatment technology for spider veins where sclerotherapy may not be an option. An extremely tiny needle focuses energy directly onto the vein and closes it immediately.

Microphlebectomy is a procedure in which your Vein Specialist makes a series of tiny puncture holes along the vein and removes small segments. It is usually done on an outpatient basis and can involve one or more veins.
