[1] VARITHENA™ is our preferred treatment of the two treatments we use for varicose vein. It requires no incision, no laser, no heat, and no pain. We simply access the vein at the lowest part we need to treat just like starting an IV, and then inject a condensed foam solution and hold pressure in the groin area for 10 minutes. With a simple access at one point below the knee we can treat all the way to the groin. Finally, your leg is then wrapped and a stocking applied. The procedure itself takes about 20. minutes. There is little or no discomfort and you can start normal activities immediately. The Varithena™ procedure causes malfunctioning veins to close and rerouting blood flow to healthy veins. This actually makes your circulation better and relieves your symptoms. This is currently accepted by most insurances.

[2] ENDOVENOUS LASER ABLATION (EVLA) is a tried and true procedure. We start with an IV access then pass a laser fiber in the vein to the highest point we need to treat. We use a numbing solution so the patient doesn’t feel the laser heat. We then close the vein with laser energy. The procedure is slightly more involved than Varithena with a recovery time of a few days, but most patients resume their daily activities the same or next day. We have used this procedure for over 15 years with excellent results. This procedure is required by some insurances.
