Alleviate Varicose Veins with
Minimally-Invasive Vein Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation shuts down blood flow to an abnormal blood vessel using thermal (heat-based) radiofrequency waves to close the vein. Once the vein is "shut down," it becomes less painful and less visible, gradually absorbed by the body and disappearing entirely.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is often recommended for those who have previously undergone vein stripping —  a painful major surgery no longer considered best practice. EVLA has high success rates and a low risk of complications. Guided by an ultrasound, a catheter is used to insert a laser fiber into the vein. The catheter is carefully removed as the laser is heated, and the procedure causes the vein to close up and shrink

ClariVein, also known as mechanochemical ablation, is an ablation technique that represents an advancement in biotechnology. ClariVein is an FDA-approved treatment that resolves varicose veins and their underlying causes, such as venous insufficiency and reflux without a laser. Once inserted through a small incision, the fibrous catheter tip rotates to remove the damaged vein's lining. Then it distributes a medical solution inside the vein to treat its underlying cause. 

During a Venaseal procedure, the physician places a catheter inside the affected vein through a small incision directly into the abnormal vein. Using ultrasound guidance, the surgeon uses a specially-formulated medical adhesive to seal off blood flow to the affected vein. The blood supply in that area is naturally re-routed to other healthy veins, and the patient's varicose symptoms are resolved. 

Named for its two-tiered approach to treating varicose veins and their underlying causes, mechanochemical ablation combines the benefits of "shutting down" access to a vein directly while injecting a medicated solution resolves the underlying cause of venous damage. 

Like other ablation procedures, Cyanoacrylate Glue (bioadhesive) shuts down the blood supply or seals off a blood vessel damaged by venous reflux or insufficiency. It acts like a "super glue" to seal off the weak or incompetent valves, leading to varicose veins. The benefits of this procedure involve fewer treatment sessions and minimum discomfort.
