Treatments

Advanced, Minimally Invasive Vein Care

Many modern vein treatments are performed in-office with minimal downtime and are designed to address underlying venous reflux when medically appropriate — not just the visible appearance of veins.

Treatment recommendations depend on your symptoms, ultrasound findings, medical history, and individual diagnosis. A complete vein evaluation — often including diagnostic ultrasound — is needed before recommending a specific treatment plan.

Radiofrequency Ablation

What it is

A minimally invasive procedure that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to close a diseased vein from the inside. Blood is naturally rerouted to healthier nearby veins.

Commonly used for

Larger varicose veins and underlying venous reflux, often involving the saphenous vein system.

What to expect

Performed in-office using image guidance and local anesthesia. Many patients walk out the same day.

Downtime: Many patients return to light normal activities within 24–48 hours, but recovery instructions vary by procedure and provider recommendation.

Schedule a Consultation

Sclerotherapy

What it is

A minimally invasive injection treatment that closes targeted surface veins, causing them to gradually fade over time.

Commonly used for

Spider veins and smaller varicose veins.

What to expect

A quick in-office treatment, typically without general anesthesia. Several sessions may be recommended depending on the number and size of veins treated.

Downtime: Compression stockings may be recommended for a short period. Many patients resume normal activity the same day. Results develop gradually over several weeks, and maintenance treatments may be recommended over time.

Schedule a Consultation

Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy

What it is

Sclerotherapy performed with real-time ultrasound guidance to target veins beneath the skin's surface.

Commonly used for

Refluxing veins, feeder veins, or recurrent veins that are not easily visible on the surface.

What to expect

An in-office, image-guided session designed for precise treatment.

Downtime: Minimal downtime is typical, and compression is often recommended afterward.

Schedule a Consultation

Varithena

What it is

A prescription microfoam treatment delivered through a small injection to treat certain varicose veins related to the great saphenous vein system.

Commonly used for

Certain varicose veins related to the great saphenous vein system, including cases where anatomy or prior treatment history may make non-thermal options appropriate.

What to expect

A short, in-office treatment that does not require general anesthesia.

Downtime: Many patients resume normal walking the same day, with post-treatment instructions provided by the clinician.

Schedule a Consultation

VenaSeal

What it is

A non-thermal, non-tumescent procedure that uses a specially formulated medical adhesive to close diseased veins.

Commonly used for

Certain patients with venous reflux who may be appropriate candidates for a non-thermal treatment option.

What to expect

An in-office treatment that usually requires minimal anesthesia.

Downtime: Many patients return to routine activities quickly. Compression stockings may not be required for some patients, although the provider may recommend them based on the individual treatment plan.

Schedule a Consultation

Microphlebectomy

What it is

A minimally invasive technique that removes surface varicose veins through tiny skin openings, typically without stitches.

Commonly used for

Larger, bulging surface varicose veins.

What to expect

Performed in-office, sometimes in combination with another vein closure procedure.

Downtime: Light bruising or tenderness may occur for a short period. Many patients resume normal activity quickly, based on provider instructions.

Schedule a Consultation

Compression Therapy

What it is

Medical-grade graduated compression stockings that support venous return and may help manage symptoms.

Commonly used for

Symptom management before, between, or after procedures, and for some conservative treatment plans.

What to expect

Properly fitted compression worn during the day, according to provider recommendation. Compression should be used as directed by a provider, especially for patients with other circulation conditions.

Downtime: None. Compression is supportive care.

Schedule a Consultation

Treatment recommendations depend on your individual diagnosis. A complete evaluation — typically including a venous ultrasound — is needed before recommending a specific treatment plan.
