Leg Veins

Modern advancements in medical treatment have made the goal of restoring proper venous blood flow by eliminating varicose and spider veins from venous circulation even safer and more effective. Treatment methods vary from collapsing the veins from the inside the vein with laser energy (EVLT), physically removing the vein, and various methods of sclerotherapy. All treatment methods can be performed separately or in conjunction to offer the best results. Which medical treatment is best-suited for you will depend on a number of things:

• Vein Type (spider vein or varicose vein)
• Vein type (spider vein or varicose vein)
  Size of vein (the vein diameter) and the pressure in the vein
• Location of veins involved (for legs it can be thigh, ankle or behind the knee; veins also appear on the hands, face, breasts, back, and genital areas)
• Severity or concentration of veins
• Skin texture & color

All of the above is determined by various non-invasive diagnostic tests that are performed in our office. Through physical examination and diagnostic testing we choose of one or more treatment methods to achieve the desired cosmetic results.

Methods of treatment for varicose veins and spider veins include sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, duplex-guided sclerotherapy, TIGOS, Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT), and Mini-Phlebectomy.
