Vein Conditions We Treat
Varicose Veins
Varicose Veins
Cord-like veins that swell up under the skin and become tender or weighty, usually after a long work shift or a hot shower, or running errands around town. They can be accompanied by swelling in the ankles or night cramps, or tender spots all along the vein. We close off the trouble routes and balance out the area so legs feel lighter on a daily basis.
Spider Veins
Spider Veins
Small red, blue, or purple spots on the skin’s surface, typically fed by faintly deeper “reticular” veins. Although cosmetic in nature, these may itch or sting later on your feet. Treatment is quick and in brief sessions with gradual fading in subsequent weeks.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
When one-way valves in leg veins get leaky, blood flows downward toward the ankles. Classic indicators: end-of-the-day heaviness, swelling, restlessness in legs, and skin changes such as a rust-brown hue or eczema-type rash. A duplex ultrasound maps out the leak so we can fix the cause rather than treat the symptom.
Venous leg ulcers
Venous leg ulcers
Sluggish healing sores near the “gaiter” area on the lower leg (just above the ankle). They normally start out as thin skin that breaks down after a small bump. We combine wound care and compression therapy with therapy for the underlying reflux to help heal faster and decrease the risk of recurrence.
Facial, hand, and other sensitive area veins
Facial, hand, and other sensitive area veins
Notable hand veins or diminutive facial capillaries about the cheeks and nose require cautious, minimal downtime correction. We perform softening of protrusion without injury to adjacent skin, with techniques appropriate to discreet or noticeable changes, your choice.
Vein Treatment Options
We use ultrasound guidance and carry out all work within local anesthesia. We usually get most patients up and home within the same day and back to desk work within a 24-hour timeframe.
Endovenous thermal ablation (radiofrequency): A small catheter will heat and seal damaged veins so blood flows along better routes.
Adhesive closure (VenaSeal): A minimal amount of adhesive closes off the vein within minutes; compression stockings might be an option afterwards.
Mechanochemical ablation (ClariVein): Twisty veins; minimal mechanical force and a low dose of drug.
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy: Foam treats deeper feeder veins that supply surface clusters.
Microphlebectomy: Spot openings remove bulging surface sections; scars are rarely visible once healed.

Vein Treatment FAQs
Will insurance cover vein therapy?
If you have pain, swelling, or alterations in how your skin looks, therapy is typically considered medical, and coverage is standard. We will verify benefits and process authorizations. Insurance approvals typically take 6-12 weeks so plan accordingly.
How many sessions will I need?
It will be determined by your ultrasound results. Most vein treatments require a single or double office visit; cosmetic spider veins can require a few brief treatments.
Will I need time off?
Most patients can resume desk work the following day. Jobs involving heavy lifting might require a temporary halt; your doctor will counsel.
Do I need to use compression stockings after therapy?
It depends on the procedure. Stockings will typically be worn after radiofrequency vein therapy for 1–2 weeks. With VenaSeal™ adhesive closure therapy, they are often optional. Sclerotherapy might need a shorter period in stockings. We will tailor a plan based on your case and preference.
How long until I notice results?
Bulging varicose veins will invariably flatten right away as blood diverts. Mild bruising or pain will remain anywhere between a week to two weeks. Pigmentation of spider-veins slowly fades within some weeks (4–12 in most cases), and occasional minor touch-ups become common for cosmetic reasons.
