Why Vein Health Matters
Varicose veins can cause pain, swelling, itching, nighttime leg cramps, and changes in the skin. Spider veins can indicate reflux even when barely visible. The good news is that many vein issues can be treated with non surgical options that focus on relieving discomfort and helping your legs look and feel better.
Vein Treatment Options
Varicose Veins
Varicose Veins
Enlarged, twisted surface veins caused by faulty vein valves. Common symptoms include leg aching, heaviness, swelling around the ankles, throbbing, nighttime cramps, itching, and restlessness, often worse after standing or by day’s end. If left untreated, symptoms can progress to skin changes or inflammation.
Spider Veins
Spider Veins
Small red, blue, or purple vessels close to the skin’s surface. On the legs, they’re often a cosmetic concern but can sometimes burn or itch. Because leg spider veins can sometimes be related to deeper reflux, we first check if a medical issue is driving what you see on the surface.
Vaginal Veins
Vaginal Veins
Swollen, twisted veins around the vulva can be a real nuisance – especially during pregnancy or when you’re on your feet all day. That’s where we come in. Our precision sclerotherapy treatments can ease that discomfort without the need for surgery.
Cosmetic Facial Treatments
Cosmetic Facial Treatments
You want a refreshed look to match your new, smoother legs? We can help with that. Our in-office Botox and Juvéderm injections can smooth out wrinkles, restore volume and skin tone, and you won’t need any incisions or downtime. That’s a pretty great feeling.
How We Treat Veins
(Simple & Effective)
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): A slim catheter gently heats and closes the problem vein. Local anesthesia, in-office, allows most people to return to daily life quickly.
- VenaSeal™ closure: A tiny amount of medical adhesive closes the faulty vein-no heat, minimal aftercare.
- Sclerotherapy: The small injections help shrink and fade visible veins on the legs, hands, or face.
More Vein Treatment Options
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy
Using ultrasound technology, we guide a gentle foam directly into diseased veins right underneath the skin. This is perfect for feeder veins and recurrences.
Microphlebectomy (Ambulatory Phlebectomy)
Tiny, pinpoint openings remove ropey surface varicose veins that don’t fully respond to ablation or sclerotherapy. We use local anesthesia; small adhesive strips instead of stitches. Most of our patients walk out and can resume light activity the very same day.
Visual Sclerotherapy (Surface Spider & Reticular Veins)
Quick injections treat surface spider veins and small blue reticular veins. Therapy sessions are brief. Consequently, elimination of color occurs gradually with little interference with your routine.
Compression Therapy & Conservative Care
Medical-grade compression, activity adjustments, leg elevation, and skincare to control aching, swelling, and heaviness, either as a first step or alongside procedures.
Diagnostic Duplex Ultrasound & Treatment Mapping
High-resolution imaging can verify reflux and follow your venous pathways. This ensures we pick the most logical course for alleviating symptoms and providing a more seamless aesthetic outcome.

FAQs About Vein Treatment for Derby Residents
Do you have an office in Derby?
We see Derby patients in our nearby Shelton and Milford clinics, with additional location options in Newtown and Fairfield.
Do you need a referral?
Typically not. If your plan needs one, we can help you confirm and coordinate it.
Can I drive myself?
Most procedures require only local anesthesia, so driving yourself is usually acceptable. If we anticipate needing anything stronger, which is rarely the case, we will advise you in advance.
When can I walk or work out again?
You can start walking the same day. Light workouts may resume within 2-3 days; higher impact exercise is usually fine within one week unless otherwise instructed by your provider.
Does insurance cover the treatment?
Most common with symptoms and ultrasound-proven medical necessity. We document findings and verify benefits before treatment.
How many visits will I need?
Medical treatments can be one or two sessions; cosmetic spider veins generally take a short series for the best results.
