CVR’s Customized Vein Treatment

Our treatment options for vein disease range from conservative, lifestyle-based approaches to more advanced outpatient treatment methods. Our doctors work within the patient’s needs, preferences, and insurance requirements to personalize a treatment schedule that works best. Learn more about vein treatment options below:

Radiofrequency Ablation

A radiofrequency catheter is gently inserted into the vein through the skin. The catheter emits radio waves, which heat specific areas of the affected vein, causing it to close. The closed vein is then reabsorbed into the body. The blood supply in that area is naturally rerouted through other, healthier veins. The safety and effectiveness of this method have been well documented with long-term data.

Laser Ablation

Like radiofrequency ablation, a laser fiber is gently inserted through the skin into the affected vein. The laser is activated and heats the vein wall, causing it to close. The closed vein is reabsorbed into the body. The blood supply in that area is naturally rerouted through other, healthier veins. Laser ablation can treat small segments of refluxing veins with a high degree of success.

Laser

VenaSeal

A thin catheter in the vein delivers medical adhesive into the vein's interior. The medical glue seals the vein shut, and blood is directed into other healthier vessels.

Venaseallp

Varithena

During this minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, medicine is administered into the affected vein. The vein then collapses, and blood is redirected to healthier vessels nearby. It is used to treat various types of varicose veins.

Varithenalp

Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy

A foam medicine called a sclerosant is injected into the diseased vein, which irritates the vein wall, resulting in closure. Blood is then naturally rerouted through healthier veins while the body reabsorbs the closed vein. An ultrasound machine to guide the procedure for maximum accuracy and safety.

Ultrasound sclero

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

The bulging vein is removed through tiny incisions that require nothing more than a band-aid to heal. The body reroutes the blood supply using healthier veins.

Phlebectomrylp

Visual Sclerotherapy

Used for spider veins that are closer to the skin's surface. A sclerosant medicine is injected into the veins, initiating a reaction that causes veins to close and be reabsorbed into the body.

Types of Vein Conditions

There are two primary types of vein conditions—both of which are indicative of some level of underlying venous insufficiency. Spider veins are tangled groups of tiny blood vessels just under the skin’s surface that resemble spider webs, hence their name. Typically, they are red, blue or purple and are clearly visible on the thighs, lower legs and face. Varicose veins tend to be larger in diameter and are visibly bumpy or rope-like. Both types of vein conditions can produce physical symptoms—from leg pain and fatigue to itching, burning and nighttime restlessness. Only a comprehensive ultrasound scan can reveal what truly lies beneath your skin.

What are varicose veins?

Often painful and unsightly, varicose veins are visibly bumpy or rope-like and may occur in almost any part of the leg—most often in the back of the calf or on the inside of the leg between the groin and the ankle. Varicose veins can be sometimes be debilitating, limit a person’s mobility, and affect their quality of life.

Common symptoms include:

  • leg pain
  • aching, or cramping
  • fatigued or heavy-feeling legs
  • itching/burning
  • swollen ankles
  • restless legs
  • ulcers (in severe cases)
