Our experienced providers walk with you from diagnosis to post‑treatment support, making your comfort—and your confidence—our priority.
Relief Is Closer Than You Think
We work hard to ensure that we can provide today’s safest, most effective treatments for varicose and spider veins. Through state-of-the-art approaches, our board‑certified physicians seal off or remove problematic veins so your blood flow can reroute naturally through healthy vessels, alleviating pain and improving leg appearance.
These treatments include:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A heat-based technique that closes deeper malfunctioning veins with precision.
- Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT/ELT): A laser fiber delivers energy into the vein to seal it shut, guided by ultrasound.
- Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: Ideal for spider veins and small varicose veins, using foam or liquid sclerosants to collapse vessels.
- VenaSeal™ Closure System: A medical adhesive used to seal veins without heat or stitches, minimizing bruising and recovery time.
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Gentle office-based removal of surface veins through tiny incisions when visible veins are bulging.
Each treatment is chosen based on your specific anatomy, vein mapping results, and personal goals—delivered through a caring, individualized plan.
What Symptoms Might Mean You’re a Candidate?
You could benefit from modern vein solutions if you experience:
- Aching, throbbing, burning, or heaviness in your legs
- Swollen ankles or calves that don’t improve with rest
- Visible spider veins or bulging varicose veins
- Itchy or irritated skin over the vein areas
- Night cramps or restless legs
- Skin discoloration, dryness, or slow‑healing wounds
- Concerned about leg appearance impacting confidence
These symptoms are signs of chronic venous insufficiency or varicose veins and often linger even with compression or lifestyle changes. That’s when modern treatments can make a transformative difference.
Determining Your Best Treatment
Vascular consultation and duplex ultrasound are the first step. This painless imaging pinpoints malfunctioning veins—whether in the great saphenous, small saphenous, or smaller branches—and rules out deeper clot risks through evaluation of reflux and blood flow patterns.
From there, providers tailor a plan based on your:
- Symptom severity and vein anatomy
- Response to conservative measures like compression therapy and elevation
- Overall health status and lifestyle needs
Those with moderate to severe symptoms—or visible veins paired with discomfort—often see dramatic improvements with modern vein solutions.
What Happens During Treatment?
Here’s what to expect when you choose one of our advanced treatments:
- Procedure Day: In-office, under local anaesthetic, guided by ultrasound.
- For ablation or VenaSeal™, a catheter delivers thermal or adhesive energy to seal the vein.
- For sclerotherapy, the sclerosant is injected carefully into the target vein.
- Ambulatory phlebectomy removes surface veins through tiny incisions.
Sessions typically take less than an hour.
- Recovery:
- Compression stockings were worn for about one week.
- Immediate walking is encouraged to support circulation.
- Most people resume normal activity and return to work the next day.
- Follow-Up:
- Ultrasound scans verify closure of treated veins.
- Residual veins can be addressed if needed in later sessions.
Across all procedures, patients report minimal discomfort and no general anaesthesia, stitches, or significant scarring—just real relief and smoother-looking legs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients describe mild pressure or heat during treatment—not pain. A local anesthetic is used, and you’re fully awake with no general anesthesia.
How soon will I see results?
Many patients feel relief within days. Some veins fade over weeks as your body absorbs the treated vessel.
How long do the benefits last?
Modern vein solutions offer long-lasting closure of treated veins. While new veins may develop over time, the target veins typically remain sealed permanently with proper follow-up.
Will insurance cover modern vein solutions?
Yes—when treatment is medically necessary, most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover procedures like RFA, EVLT, and sclerotherapy. Our team assists with pre-authorization and paperwork.
Can I exercise after treatment?
Absolutely. Light walking is encouraged immediately. Strenuous workouts are usually safe about a week after, depending on your provider’s guidance.
