Varicose Vein Treatment

Sclerotherapy

During sclerotherapy, your physician injects a chemical into your varicose veins. The chemical irritates and scars your veins from the inside out. Your veins can then no longer fill with blood. Blood that would normally return to the heart through these veins returns to the heart through other veins. Your body will eventually absorb the veins that received the injection.

Ambulatory Phelebectomy

This is a minor surgical procedure where the skin over the varicose vein is infiltrated with local anesthetic and a small 2mm incision is made through which the vein is removed leaving minimal to no scarring.

Laser Treatment

Laser treatment is another way to treat varicose veins. Your physician inserts a tiny fiber into a varicose vein through a catheter. The fiber sends out laser energy that kills the diseased portion of your varicose vein. The vein closes and your body eventually absorbs it.
