• Varicose Veins

  • Radiofrequency Ablation (VNUS Closure): Acknowledged as the newest advancement in the elimination of varicose veins, this procedure is not only fast, but virtually pain free with little, if any, recovery time needed.  During theVNUS Closure procedure, a small catheter is inserted, usually through a needle stick in the skin, into the damaged vein.  The catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat.  As the the vein warms, it collapses and seals shut.  Click Here for more information about this procedure.

  • High Ligation: is an in office procedure used for patients with saphenous veins that cannot be accessed with a radiofrequency catheter.  The surgeon makes a small incision in the groin area, the saphenous vein is tied off, and the skin is closed with dissolvable suture.

  • Miniphlebectomy: is a method of surgical removal of surface varicose veins.  This is usually done int the office using local anesthesia.  Incisions are tiny and typically leave nearly imperceptible puncture mark scars.

  • Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: This is an in-office treatment alternative to surgical stripping.  While the doctor visually monitors the vein on an ultrasound screen, a tiny needle is used to inject a medication that causes the vein to collapse and be reabsorbed.  Using ultrasound enables treament of veins that can't be seen because they are below the surface of the skin and would otherwise require surgical removal.

• Spider Veins

  • Dermal Laser Treatment: A laser light beam is pulsed onto the veins in order to seal them off and cause them to dissolve.  Multiple treatments are usually required.  Click Here for more information about this procedure.

  • Sclerotherapy:  A tiny needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein.  In response, the veins collapse and are reabsorbed.
