For many people, vein problems aren’t just about looks or vanity. Varicose veins and spider veins can cause leg pain, swelling, heaviness, throbbing, fatigue, restless nights, and even skin damage or venous ulcers.
Left untreated, vein disease often progresses, but one of the biggest reasons patients delay care is concern about cost. Unfortunately, this delay is more costly in the long run because, according to the National Library of Medicine (NIH), delaying vein treatment often leads to worsening symptoms, ulcers, and higher long-term healthcare costs. These complications not only lower quality of life, but they also drive up healthcare costs through repeated doctor visits, wound care, and lost productivity.
By contrast, patients who receive timely interventional treatment for varicose veins see a reduction in long-term costs and better outcomes, including fewer ulcers and less progression of disease.
At Center for Vein Restoration (CVR), we make timely care affordable by accepting most insurance plans and offering self-pay options well below industry averages—so you can protect your health and your wallet. Our patients are treated by board-certified vein experts, supported by compassionate, experienced staff, and guided through the financial process with complete transparency.
We accept most major insurance plans for medically necessary procedures and offer cosmetic treatments at rates that are often 50–70 percent lower than industry averages. That means you don’t have to choose between affordability and expertise—you can have both at CVR.

CVR offers:
Sclerotherapy (liquid or foam)
Involves injecting a solution to collapse small varicose veins or spider veins.
Endovenous thermal ablation (laser or radiofrequency)
Treats larger varicose veins by closing off faulty veins from the inside. (Cleveland Clinic)
Ambulatory phlebectomy / microphlebectomy
Removes surface varicose veins through small incisions that require nothing more than a Band-Aid to heal. This procedure should not be confused with vein stripping, which is an invasive traditional surgery that CVR does not offer.
Non-thermal techniques
These emerging options may offer less discomfort and faster recovery and include adhesives, ultrasound-guided foam, and VenaSeal.
Vein treatment is often covered by insurance if it's medically necessary. Key criteria insurers often require include:
Cosmetic treatments (for appearance only), especially for spider veins, are often not covered. That means if your primary goal is the removal of visible veins without symptoms, you may pay out of pocket. At Center for Vein Restoration, this is 50-70 percent less than at other vein clinics in the country.
