This is How You Can Get Rid of Varicose Veins! No More Pain!
You wake up every morning with a throbbing ache in your legs, making it difficult to go about your day. You may have even noticed those unsightly, bulging veins that worsen over time. You’ve tried covering them up, but the discomfort remains, and the appearance is far from what you desire. The good news is that varicose veins don’t have to be a permanent part of your life. At Vein Doctor for Women, we offer a range of minimally invasive treatments to relieve your pain and restore the beauty of your legs.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the most effective treatments for varicose veins. This minimally invasive technique uses radiofrequency energy to heat the vein wall, causing the problematic vein to collapse and seal shut. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the treated vein, and blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, alleviating symptoms like pain and swelling.
The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. During the treatment, a small catheter is inserted into the affected vein, delivering the radiofrequency energy precisely where it’s needed. The entire process usually takes less than an hour, and you can return to your daily activities almost immediately. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in their symptoms, with the full results developing over several weeks.
Endovenous Laser Ablation
Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is another advanced treatment for varicose veins. Similar to RFA, this process involves closing off the problematic vein, but it uses laser energy instead of radiofrequency. The laser energy heats and damages the vein wall, causing it to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body over time. EVLA is performed using a small laser fiber that is inserted into the vein through a tiny incision. The treatment is quick and minimally invasive.
Like RFA, EVLA has a high success rate and is associated with minimal discomfort. Patients who undergo EVLA often experience significant relief from symptoms such as pain, swelling, and heaviness in the legs. The technique also improves the cosmetic appearance of your legs, making it a popular choice for those who want both functional and aesthetic benefits.
VenaSeal
VenaSeal is a revolutionary treatment for varicose veins that uses a medical adhesive to close the affected vein. Unlike RFA and EVLA, which rely on thermal energy, VenaSeal simply seals the vein with a specially formulated glue. Once sealed, the vein is no longer able to carry blood, and it is gradually absorbed by the body.
VenaSeal is particularly appealing to patients who are sensitive to heat-based treatments or who prefer a quicker recovery time. It is performed under local anesthesia, and because there is no need for tumescent anesthesia (a large volume of dilute anesthetic), the treatment is faster and more comfortable than other options. Patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately after the technique, and many report little to no post-procedure discomfort.
Varithena
Varithena is an FDA-approved foam sclerosant that is used to treat varicose veins. This minimally invasive treatment involves injecting a microfoam solution directly into the affected vein, causing it to close and eventually disappear. The foam displaces the blood within the vein, making it easier for the walls of the vein to adhere and seal shut.
Varithena can treat a wide range of vein sizes and types, including those that are difficult to treat with other methods. The treatment is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes, and is performed in an outpatient setting. Patients usually experience little to no discomfort during the technique and can resume their regular activities shortly afterward. Varithena is particularly effective for patients who have large, tortuous veins that are not suitable for other types of ablation.
ClariVein
ClariVein is a unique treatment that combines mechanical and chemical methods to close varicose veins. The technique involves inserting a special catheter into the affected vein, which simultaneously rotates and delivers a sclerosing agent. This combination of mechanical agitation and chemical action causes the vein to close quickly and effectively.
ClariVein is performed under local anesthesia, and because it does not use heat or large volumes of anesthesia, it is associated with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery. It is ideal for patients who prefer a non-thermal, non-tumescent option for treating their varicose veins. Patients can expect a quick return to normal activities, with most noticing an immediate improvement in their symptoms.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a treatment that involves the removal of superficial varicose veins through tiny incisions in the skin. This technique is typically used for veins that are too large to be treated with other methods like sclerotherapy or ablation.
The process is performed under local anesthesia, and because the incisions are so small, there is minimal scarring. Patients can usually return home the same day and resume normal activities within a day or two. Ambulatory phlebectomy provides immediate results, as the problematic vein is physically removed during the treatment. This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients with large, bulging veins that cause significant discomfort.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is one of the most popular and versatile treatments for varicose veins, particularly smaller varicose veins and spider veins. The process involves injecting a sclerosing solution directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and be absorbed by the body. Over time, the treated vein fades, leaving your skin smoother and vein-free.
Sclerotherapy is minimally invasive and can be performed in a short office visit. Multiple veins can be treated in a single session, and most patients experience minimal discomfort during the technique. While sclerotherapy is associated with cosmetic improvement, it can be performed in conjunction with other treatments to address the underlying causes of varicose veins.
