• Endovenous Laser Ablation - EVLA/EVLT - An alternative treatment to surgical stripping of saphenous veins. During this minimally invasive in-office treatment, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the varicose vein via a needle or introducer stuck through the skin. Pulses of laser light are delivered to the damaged vein, which causes the vein to seal shut and be cut off from blood circulation.
  The procedure is done in-office under local anesthesia. Following the procedure, a gradient compression stocking is placed on the treated leg and the patient is asked to walk around our office for 20 minutes.

• Stab Phlebectomy - A method of surgically removing bulging, ropey varicose veins. Depending upon diameter of the bulging varicosity, an incision is made next to the vein with a needle or scalpel, and a small hook is inserted into the opening. The varicose vein is then grasped and removed.
  Quite often, stab phlebectomy is combined with ligation and stripping of incompetent perforating veins. Both procedures are performed in-office. Incisions and punctures often do not require stitches and leave only small scars. Following the procedure, a gradient compression stocking is placed on the treated leg and the patient is asked to walk around our office for 20 minutes. Possible complications of ambulatory phlebectomy are an allergic reaction to the local anesthetic and local numbness.

• Compression Sclerotherapy - The most common treatment for reticular and spider veins. Injections to surface veins are done with very thin needles that feel like mosquito bites. The number of treatments needed will vary from patient to patient. Short-term post-procedure bruising is quite common. Pigmentations, if they occur, fade away but might last for several months.

• Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy - A technique that utilizes Ultrasound imaging to visually guide a needle into the varicose vein that needs to be injected. Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy permits treatment of varicose veins below the surface of the skin or in hard-to-reach areas.

Each patient will have different needs and depending on severity of their condition, health status, insurance restrictions and financial constraints. Your physician may suggest a combination of different conservative and corrective treatment options.

Disclosure: Every patient is a unique, and cosmetic results can vary between patients. No two laser treatments will get same results – even if performed by the same physician on patients with similar conditions.We encourage each potential patient to seek independent medical advice before committing themselves to any of the above treatments.
