Varicose Vein Treatments
Varicose veins, which are the bulging, twisted veins just beneath the surface of the skin, can be effectively treated after the underlying vein reflux is corrected. There are two main options for removing the varicose veins; either a foamed medication can be injected into the veins causing them to scar and eventually dissolve (foam sclerotherapy), or they can be removed using tiny incisions (phlebectomy). Sometimes, a combination of both treatment types may be recommended.

Phlebectomy
Phlebectomy is surgical removal of bulging varicose veins though tiny skin incisions. This minimally invasive procedure is performed in the office with local anesthesia. Phlebectomy is also known as micro phlebectomy (because the incisions are tiny) or ambulatory phlebectomy.
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR TREATING BULGING VARICOSE VEINS AT THE SKIN SURFACE?
There are two main techniques to treat varicose veins:
1.) Phlebectomy: surgical removal of the veins
2.) Foam sclerotherapy: injection of a medicated foam to close the veins
Sclerotherapy is the least invasive, but […]
Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy works well for treating surface varicose veins and veins that are not visible to the naked eye. The foam medication can be seen on ultrasound, which allows us to administer it precisely and direct it towards nearby varicose veins. Foam sclerotherapy can be safely used for veins that travel close to the skin or nerves. It also travels easily through veins with many twists and turns.
WHAT IS POLIDOCANOL (ASCLERA®)?
A variety of sclerosant medications can be used for veins, but we prefer […]
Venous Reflux Disease Treatments for underlying vein reflux
ClariVein®
The ClariVein® procedure
for treatment of backwards flow (or “reflux”) in your saphenous vein(s). The great and small saphenous veins are the two main superficial veins of the leg. They run along the inner leg and the back of the leg, respectively.
This minimally invasive procedure can be performed in the office in less than an hour and patients return to their usual level of activity the same day.
HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?
The skin is numbed with lidocaine, then the ClariVein® catheter is placed into the unhealthy vein. The catheter closes the […]
ClosureFast™
ClosureFast™ an endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedure
for the backward flow of blood (or “Venous reflux”) in your saphenous vein(s). The great saphenous veins and small saphenous veins are the two main superficial veins of the leg. They run along the inner leg and the back of the leg, respectively.
This minimally invasive procedure can be performed in the office in less than an hour and patients usually return to their usual level of activity the same day.
HOW DOES THE TREATMENT WORK?
The skin is numbed with lidocaine, then a […]
Radio Frequency Ablation
RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION for PERFORATOR VEIN REFLUX
Radiofrequency perforator ablation is performed on perforator veins, short connections between your deep and superficial veins. Perforator veins can suffer the same sort of valve damage and retrograde blood flow (venous reflux) as other veins.
Most patients with vein disease who experience skin changes, (that also may result in leg ulcers if left untreated) have reflux in perforator veins near their ulcers, as well as in the superficial or deep veins.
What are Perforator Veins?
Perforator veins serve as connections between the two […]
Varithena®
Varithena® (polidocanol injectable foam)
is a prescription medication used to treat the great saphenous vein system (GSV) and associated varicose veins of the GSV system. Varithena® improves the symptoms of superficial venous incompetence and the appearance of visible varicosities. It is a non-thermal, non-tumescent, nearly painless method of vein treatment.
WHAT IS VARITHENA®?
Foam Sclerotherapy
Varithena® is a “microfoam” formulation of polidocanol (sclerosing agent) and CO2.
Venacure
VenaCure is an endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) procedure for backwards flow (or “reflux”) in your saphenous vein(s).
Laser is also referred to as endovenous laser ablation therapy (EVLT). The great and small saphenous veins are the two main superficial veins of the leg. They run along the inner leg and the back of the leg, respectively.
This minimally invasive procedure can be performed in the office in less than an hour and patients return to their usual level of activity the same day.
How does the treatment work? The skin is numbed with lidocaine, […]
VenaSeal™
The U.S. food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the VenaSeal™ closure system to permanently treat varicose veins by sealing the affected superficial veins using an adhesive agent. The VenaSeal™ Sapheon Closure System is a unique, minimally invasive treatment that uses [...]
