Symptoms of

Spider Veins

Spider veins are small, superficial veins that can be seen just below the skin’s surface. They appear as thin, blue, purple or red lines that form clusters or webs. They’re typically flat, though they can be slightly raised, and the skin around them may become discolored. Spider veins are usually painless, but can cause discomfort for some people. Treatment for spider veins is generally considered cosmetic and, therefore, is rarely covered by insurance.

Treatments We Provide

Treatments for Spider Veins

Get rid of your pestering spider veins with a combination of foam sclerotherapy and laser treatments. This procedure takes only fifteen to thirty minutes, and you can get right back to regular activity. Spider vein removal is complete, leaving only clear and smoother skin.

VNUS Closure & Radiofrequency Ablation

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.

Injections

An injection technique is used to treat a number of varicose vein conditions that were previously treated with surgery and incisions. These injections avoid incisions and since there is no trauma to the leg, there are no unsightly scars and you can quickly return to your daily activities.

Venus Reflux Disease

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.

Foam Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive varicose vein foam treatment.

The microfoam fills the desired section of the vein and treats the vein wall, causing the diseased vein 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

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. 

Phlebectomy is performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia.
