Services
Endovenous Laser Treatment
Endovenous Laser Treatment uses targeted laser energy to close malfunctioning veins causing varicose vein symptoms. This office-based procedure offers immediate resumption of normal activities and typically requires only local anesthesia. Patients usually return to work within 24 hours with minimal discomfort.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into problematic veins to cause their gradual disappearance. This established treatment effectively addresses both cosmetic and symptomatic spider veins through a series of carefully spaced sessions. Compression therapy enhances treatment outcomes while minimizing potential side effects.
VNUS Closure
VNUS Closure utilizes controlled radiofrequency energy to treat underlying venous insufficiency without surgical stripping. The minimally invasive procedure allows immediate mobility with durable results for patients suffering from chronic venous disease. Most individuals experience significant symptom improvement within weeks.
Varicose Vein Surgery
Outpatient surgical removal of severe varicose veins preserves healthy venous structures while eliminating problematic segments. This technique avoids traditional vein stripping methods with faster recovery times and reduced postoperative discomfort compared to historical approaches.
Venous Evaluation
Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation combines venous mapping, plethysmography, and duplex imaging to identify the root causes of venous disorders. This detailed assessment forms the foundation for individualized treatment plans addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term vascular health.
