About Us
Varicose Veins & Spider Veins - just the 'tip of the iceberg!' Everyone knows that vein specialists treat varicose veins. Some people know that failed vein valves cause varicosities. Few people know that failed valves in the veins can also cause: Leg Cramps, Night Cramps, Swollen Ankles, Secondary Restless Leg Symptoms, Brown/Red Discoloration of Skin, Itching, Burning, Scaling Skin, & Painful/Aching/Tired Legs. It might be best to begin a discussion of modern (post year 2001) vein treatment by pointing out what it is NOT:
Not surgical! Vein procedures are no longer surgical.
.........The new procedures require: No pain. No scars. No recovery period. No hospitalization. No general anesthesia.
No more "Vein Stripping"
........this old fashioned and much feared operation performed by vascular surgeons is no longer necessary or recommended. Now we simply start an IV in the failed vein and gently close it from the inside with laser.
No more "Surgical Phlebectomy"
........using incisions to remove surface veins is now old fashioned and unnecessary......it has been replaced by painless micro-phlebectomy through needle holes.
No more "Saline Sclerotherapy"
........saline hurts and often leaves marks....it belongs in the past... the new sclerosing solution does not hurt and is very effective
