Varicose Veins

Treatment

The actual procedure to remove varicose veins is commonly referred to as Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT). This procedure normally takes less than an hour and only requires local anesthesia. By delivering just the right wavelength of laser energy to just the right tissue, the incompetent veins (varicose veins) will close. Your body automatically routes the blood to other healthy veins. While you might feel some unfamiliar sensation, the procedure for most people produces only a mild degree of pain or discomfort.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy is an adjunctive method of treating surface varicose veins. Ambulatory Phlebectomy is the removal of large surface varicose veins through very small incisions and is done right in the office. It is done using sterile technique with only local anesthesia needed. The biggest results from ambulatory Phlebectomy are significant relief from pain and excellent cosmetic results. There may be slight bruising following this procedure but resolves in a week's time. Discuss with your physician as to whether you may be a candidate for this procedure.
