Vein Issues We Treat
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. We start with a focused exam and if needed duplex ultrasound to confirm if vein reflux is present. From there we discuss options to reduce symptoms, improve appearance, and get you back to normal activity quickly.
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. Facial and hand spider veins are usually aesthetic. 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. Treatments are done in sessions, with realistic guidance on how many visits you may need and what kind of improvement to expect.
Cosmetic Hand and Facial Veins
Cosmetic Hand and Facial Veins
Prominent veins on the back of the hands and small facial veins can make skin look older or uneven in tone. These veins are normal but more visible due to genetics, sun exposure, or thinner skin. We review candidacy based on skin type, sun history, and prior procedures, then walk you through options to soften prominence and create a smoother look. Most patients can resume their regular routine right away with temporary redness or bruising that fades over days to weeks.
How We Treat Your Veins
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA): A thin catheter delivers controlled heat to close faulty veins, an outpatient procedure designed for comfort and quick recovery.
- VenaSeal™ closure: A medical adhesive seals the problem vein without heat; done in-office with minimal downtime.
- Sclerotherapy: Targeted injections shrink and fade visible veins; used for legs, face, and hands.
Other Vein Treatments We Offer
Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS)
A targeted form of sclerotherapy that uses ultrasound to guide medication into problem veins below the surface. Helpful for feeder veins and recurrent varicose veins. Done in-office with minimal downtime.
Microphlebectomy (Ambulatory Phlebectomy)
Tiny, pinpoint openings remove ropey surface varicose veins that don’t fully respond to ablation or sclerotherapy. Local anesthesia only; small adhesive strips instead of stitches. Most patients walk out and can resume light activity the same day.
Visual Sclerotherapy (Surface Spider & Reticular Veins)
In-office injections for visible spider and small blue reticular veins. Done in sessions to gradually fade appearance with minimal downtime.
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 definition imaging to confirm reflux, map vein pathways, and determine which veins to treat first for best symptom relief and cosmetic outcome.
Combination & Staged Care
Varicose vein disease often requires a sequence, closing the refluxing source vein, then addressing remaining surface branches and spider veins. We plan the order and timing so that recovery is smooth and results are predictable.
