A phlebologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats venous disorders.

Our physicians take the time to thoroughly evaluate an ultrasound map of your veins to identify any refluxing veins that may be causing your symptoms. Depending on the results of this assessment, you may be presented with a treatment plan that can include one or several advanced treatments—sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and endovenous adhesive ablation (EAA). We advise our patients to plan on spending 60-90 minutes in the office.

Vein disease can be caused by many different factors, including genetics, obesity, and pregnancy. Symptoms can be aggravated by standing or sitting for long periods of time.

There’s no way to completely prevent vein disease. However, improving your blood circulation and muscle tone may reduce your risk of developing varicose veins. Some common ways to help reduce risk include exercising, elevating your legs, eating a healthy diet and wearing compression stockings.

Symptoms of vein disease may include pain, aching, cramping, swelling, throbbing, heaviness, fatigue, itching and restlessness. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our providers today.

Vein disease can cause mild to moderate pain as well as other symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause more serious conditions such as blood clots and venous ulcers (open sores on the skin).

You have a higher risk of developing varicose veins if you have family members with the condition, are female (Women are 2 ½ times more likely to have vein disease than men), are over 30 years of age, you have a job where you sit or stand for long periods of time, or are pregnant or have had a child

Each person’s vein condition is different, which is the reason our physicians create a custom treatment plan for each patient. Our providers will take the time to thoroughly evaluate your veins using ultrasound to identify the unhealthy veins. Depending on the results of this assessment, you will be presented with a treatment plan that may include one or several advanced treatments—sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) or endovenous adhesive ablation (EAA).

Common side effects after most procedures include bruising, swelling, redness or skin discoloration, and discomfort.

The best treatment for varicose veins and spider veins is dependent on your individual condition. A vein specialist can evaluate your unique case and recommend the best treatment for you.

Our expert physicians will insert a small fiber into the unhealthy vein using ultrasound guidance. Consistent and uniform heat is delivered to contract collagen in the vein walls, causing them to collapse and close, thus redirecting the blood to healthy veins. The entire procedure takes less than an hour, and the recovery is rapid.

Do not skip any meals prior to your treatment and consider bringing a snack with you on the day of treatment. Drink plenty of fluids. Take your medications as prescribed. Bring comfortable shorts. Bring your compression stockings. Feel free to bring a mobile device/earphones to listen to music or read during the treatment.

Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Our providers frequently assess your level of pain throughout the procedure to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. While varicose vein treatment involves minimally invasive procedures with a high success rate and low risk of complications, there are always risks associated with any medical procedure. Be sure to share your medical history, allergies, and all medications, including supplements or vitamins, you take and ask your provider about possible complications or side effects of treatment.

You cannot usually receive vein disease treatment during pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding you may receive treatment after certain precautions are taken. Compression stockings are frequently recommended during pregnancy, and we can provide follow up after the child is born. Your provider can discuss the options with you if you have any health conditions which may preclude you from receiving treatment. Please consult with your physician regarding your specific situation.

We recommend moving around and resuming normal activities after treatment. Depending on the treatment, you will be prescribed compression stockings. Be sure to take your medications as instructed by your provider to help with any discomfort. You may expect bruising after treatment – this typically lasts for about three weeks.

There is usually little to no downtime associated with treatment. Treatments are typically completed within an hour and most people return to normal activities the same day since hospitalization is not part of normal treatment.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a condition where the valves in the leg veins don’t function properly, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart. This leads to blood pooling in the legs, causing swelling, pain, skin changes, and varicose veins.

USA Vein Clinics offers minimally invasive outpatient treatments, including: Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A laser fiber is inserted into the vein to close it off. Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy (UGS): A sclerosant is injected into smaller varicose veins to collapse them. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Heat is used via a catheter to seal off malfunctioning veins. VenaSeal™: A medical adhesive is used to close diseased veins. All procedures are FDA-approved, performed in under an hour, and require no hospitalization.
