In endovenous laser therapy (also referred to as thermal or radiofrequency ablation), a thin laser fiber is inserted into the diseased vein, generally through a small puncture in the leg above where the visual symptoms appear. The physician then delivers laser energy through the fiber which heats the vein walls and causes the vein to close as the fiber is gradually removed. No longer able to carry blood, the vein breaks up and is reabsorbed by the body.

Used for varicose veins and venous ulcers, endovenous laser therapy can be performed in our office in less than one hour, and you are encouraged to walk immediately following the procedure. Most people report little to no pain associated with endovenous laser therapy.

Sclerotherapy is a treatment for the removal of spider veins and smaller varicose veins. A small volume of a sclerosing liquid is injected into the diseased vein, which causes it to seal shut, eliminating the vein completely. Sclerotherapy is a quick in-office procedure and does not require any anesthesia.

Blood circulation is carried out through healthy veins located deeper within the body, so the outward appearance and sometimes pain associated with the problematic veins is significantly reduced.

The VenaSeal™ closure system is the only non-tumescent, non-thermal, non-sclerosant procedure that uses a proprietary medical adhesive delivered endovenously to close the vein.  This unique approach eliminates the risk of thermal nerve injury when treating the small saphenous vein, which is a risk sometimes associated with certain thermal-based procedures. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the procedure is safe and effective.  The procedure is administered without the use of tumescent anesthesia, avoiding patient discomfort associated with multiple needle sticks.
