Say Goodbye to
Varicose & Spider Veins with Advanced Vein Surgery Procedures

Our dual board-certified physicians undergo extensive training in plastics and vascular surgery, making them qualified to address the physical pain and emotional discomfort caused by spider, reticular, varicose veins, venous reflux (when blood flows in the wrong direction), and other vascular diseases, including leg swelling and chronic venous insufficiency. 

Sclerotherapy (or "shutting a vein down'') is the primary treatment recommended for spider veins. Spider veins are small, delicate, red/pink/blue, starburst patterns of veins most often found on the legs. They are considered harmless and do not indicate poor circulation or blood clots. Sclerotherapy injections involve a tiny needle from which the surgeon injects liquid directly into the spider vein, minimizing its appearance.

More recently, foam sclerotherapy has been used to treat varicose veins with a chemical foam injected into the vein, correcting blood flow. 

Vein ablation is used to shut down a vein that has venous reflux (blood flowing backward) which is the root cause of varicose veins. Endovenous laser vein surgery, or EVLT, is a form of vein ablation using heat from medical-grade lasers to shrink the vein, causing it to  "shut down" or close. During EVLT a scar develops inside the vein, sealing it off and re-routing blood circulation into other healthy veins. This procedure should be followed by phlebectomy to remove the affected veins. 

Phlebectomy means "surgical vein removal" but this is not your grandmother's vein-stripping surgery. Today's highly advanced phlebectomy technique, or micro phlebectomy, is a minimally invasive procedure. The skin and tissue above and around the varicose veins are numbed with local anesthesia, allowing the surgeon to a series of tiny nicks in the skin from which varicose veins are removed.
