Services
Endovenous Laser Treatment
This minimally invasive procedure uses targeted laser energy to seal problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. Ideal for treating varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency, it offers immediate mobility with minimal discomfort. Patients benefit from reduced leg pain, improved circulation, and visible vein disappearance within weeks, making it a preferred solution for symptomatic relief and cosmetic improvement.
Sclerotherapy
A gold-standard treatment involving solution injections that collapse spider and small varicose veins. The body naturally absorbs treated veins over time, improving both appearance and discomfort. Sessions last 30-45 minutes with no downtime, making it ideal for busy professionals. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, particularly for extensive vein networks or recurrent cases.
Compression Stockings
Graduated pressure garments improve leg circulation by preventing blood pooling and reducing swelling. Recommended for pre/post-treatment support and chronic vein disease management, they come in various compression levels. Proper fitting by our specialists ensures effectiveness while preventing complications like skin irritation or improper pressure distribution.
ALMI Treatments
Autologous Lipocyte Micronized Injection combines fat grafting with platelet-rich plasma to rejuvenate skin and restore volume. Used for facial rejuvenation, hand revitalization, and hair restoration, it leverages the body's regenerative properties. Results develop gradually over weeks, offering natural-looking improvements with minimal rejection risk due to using the patient's own tissues.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Advanced non-surgical treatments address aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. Services include laser resurfacing, IPL photofacials, and facial fillers that stimulate collagen production. Customized protocols target individual goals, with most procedures requiring minimal downtime while delivering measurable improvements in skin tone, elasticity, and overall radiance.

Service was mediocre. They billed my insurance for a consult I did not ask for. I found out because they sent me a bill for the balance after the insurance processed the claim. The "consult" was basically the doctor's sales pitch to opt for other services. I came in for a specific treatment, that was prepaid, and nothing more. The reception team was polite and offered me a free facial but I don't feel comfortable returning.

After doing some research online I decided to visit The Vein Treatment Center to take care of my ugly veins. I have noting but great things to say about my experience. My treatment turned out to be a great success. I am back to wearing shorts and feel amazing. Staff is professional and polite, and took the time to answer all of my questions. The office is kept very clean. I am soooooo lucky to have found such a prestige practice. I will highly recommend this office to all my loved ones.

I have been seeing Dr. Abboud for over nine years now. I think he has done a really great job at keeping me looking younger than I actually am (currently 45 and see my pic). I often recommend him to friends for Botox, facial fillers, or laser vein treatments. He is a very genuine and down-to-earth physician and always is interested in making sure that the results are what I wanted not what someone else had in mind. Highly recommended!

While pleased with the initial results, the service has been mediocre, and the payment expectations have been well explained. I do believe that the doctors are the best- Dr. Jawdat came highly recommended.they need to be more clear though about the length of the treatment, and the cost

Concerning the real laser hair evacuation process it is so quick you will ponder regardless of whether it was really cash well spent (it is). Listen women (and fellas), the first the reality of the situation will become obvious eventually like damnation! You simply need to remember that it gets simpler and less excruciating every time you go. Also, as my cousin constantly said 'torment for magnificence
