Tired of uncomfortable, unsightly vein problems? Learn about the available treatments to identify the best one for you. Without treatment, a minor problem with your veins can get much worse. So it’s important to see a vein doctor like the specialists at Precision for an evaluation. Following are a few of the safe, effective and minimally-invasive procedures we use to help patients with vein issues.
Microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is a procedure that involves removal of the varicose veins through tiny surgical incisions. This is the recommended treatment for large superficial varicose veins. Due to their size and location, these veins cannot be effectively treated with sclerotherapy and are superficial to the skin to treat with ablation. Removal of the veins with microphlebectomy results in quicker healing, less pain, and a better cosmetic result than would occur without this treatment. With microphlebectomy, varicose veins are removed through small microblephectomy-blurbincision, which leave virtually no scars. Learn more.
Sclerotherapy
At Precision, sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment of common spider and small varicose veins, without the need of anesthesia, performed in the office. It is can used to treat spider veins visible at the surface of the skin. It also applies to treatment of veins that are deeper under the skin surface, which is aided with the use of ultrasound guidance. Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a chemical sclerosant directly into the diseased vein, causing a local irritation and ultimately causes the vein to close. The solution can be in a liquid or foam. The sclerosant we use at Precision is the safest and most effective on the market. Learn more.
ClosureFast Targeted Endovenous Therapy
DVTs may be treated with blood thinning medications called anticoagulants or clot-busting medications termed thrombolytic therapy. In some cases, clots are removed with a catheter or surgery. People that cannot tolerate or do not respond to anticoagulation may have a permanent filter inserted in their vein. The filter prevents large embolisms from entering the lungs but it does not stop blood clots from developing. Learn more.
VenaSealTM
VenaSeal™ is a FDA-approved procedure that permanently treats varicose veins at their source. A revolutionary way to treat varicose veins, the VenaSeal varicose vein treatment is like superglue for the body. VenaSeal seals distressed varicose veins with adhesive, rerouting blood to healthy veins and increasing blood flow throughout the legs. With VenaSeal varicose vein treatment, there is no anesthesia and no need for compression stockings after the procedure. If required, both legs can be treated at the same appointment. VenaSeal is the least invasive, most comfortable procedure for relieving the pain, discomfort and unsightliness of varicose veins. Learn more.
