Radiofrequency Ablation, also known as VNUS Closure®, uses a heating process to seal a troublesome vein closed. Using ultrasound guidance, treatments are precise with small incisions which offer less bruising, less pain and a quicker return to daily activities than traditional vein stripping.

This FDA-approved injection technique is used to treat a number of varicose vein conditions that were previously treated with surgery and incisions.  Varithena® Injections avoid incisions, and since there is virtually no trauma to the leg, there are no unsightly scars and you can quickly return to your daily activities.

Chronic venous insufficiency, also known as venous reflux, is a condition in which your veins no longer work as they should.

Inside your veins are tiny, one-way valves designed to keep blood moving toward your heart. When these valves become weak or damaged the blood can reflux, meaning flow backwards, and begin to pool inside the vein.

Left untreated, chronic venous insufficiency may lead to problems such as varicose veins, restless legs, heavy legs, swelling, skin changes, and venous ulcers. Therefore, treating chronic venous insufficiency is vital to your overall health and wellbeing.

Varithena is the brand name for a minimally invasive varicose vein treatment called foam sclerotherapy.

During this procedure, Varithena foam (polidocanol infused with nitrogen gas to form micro-bubbles) is injected into and fills the affected area of the vein. The polidocanol irritates the vein wall causing it to collapse. This allows the body to naturally redirect blood flow to other, healthy veins.

This procedure is performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. It can be used to treat either large or small varicose veins. There is no downtime for this procedure; however, you may be asked to wear compressions stocking for up to two weeks following the procedure.

Phlebectomy, also called microphlebectomy or stab phlebectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove superficial varicose veins. These are varicose veins that have remained after venous closure or areas of localized reflux varicose veins. It involves the physical removal of veins that lie just below the skin. Phlebectomy is often used in conjunction with treatment for deeper veins such as RFA or VenaSeal.

During the procedure, tiny incisions are made in the skin above the varicose vein. These incisions are small enough to heal on their own without stitches. The affected portion of the vein is accessed through the incisions and carefully removed using special surgical tools.
