| Depending on the patient's needs,
our surgeons offer a customized treatment plan. Applying ultrasound
technology, we pinpoint the cause of the venous insufficiency and
determine the most effective treatment option.
Minimally Invasive Laser Treatments for
Venous Hypertension
Non-Surgical Endovenous Laser
Treatment
EVLT® uses targeted laser energy to
break down faulty vein walls, shrinking them to reroute blood
flow. This treatment leaves no scarring and provides immediate
relief from symptoms. Treatment is performed in office and you
can return to normal activity immediately.
Varicose Veins Treatments
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy weakens and ultimately
destroys leg veins. Using a very tiny needle, solution is injected
directly into the unwanted veins at numerous sites, sealing off
the vein from the rest of the vein network in your leg. This allows
the body to naturally redirect the blood flow to healthy veins.
Over the next several weeks, the vein dissolves and becomes reabsorbed
by the body.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory Phlebectomy removes large varicose
vein branches through multiple tiny punctures using a special
hook instrument. Pinhead-sized punctures are made and the vein
is removed, typically leaving nearly imperceptible scars. Large
varicose veins are permanently removed, providing excellent aesthetic
results and relief of symptoms. This procedure is performed in
the office under local anesthesia.
Superficial Venous Resolution
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy weakens and ultimately destroys
leg veins. Using a very tiny needle, solution is injected directly
into the unwanted veins at numerous sites, sealing off the vein
from the rest of the vein network in your leg. This allows the
body to naturally redirect the blood flow to healthy veins. Over
the next several weeks, the vein dissolves and becomes reabsorbed
by the body.
Surgical Procedures
For unusual or complex veins or venous ulcers,
surgery may be necessary. Our board certified surgeons are experienced
in treating venous insufficiencies. Surgery is performed by making
a small incision in the skin and then removing or tying off the
blood vessel. Local, spinal or general anesthesia is typically
administered in the hospital and most patients are released the
following day.
We encourage our patients to talk with their insurance
companies as most insurance plans and Medicare will cover treatments
to correct venous abnormalities when determined to be medically
necessary. |
