The Center for Vein Restoration offers two convenient locations in Columbia. Our branch at 1725 Devonshire Drive can be accessed from Middleburg Drive. Our second office is located within Columbia Dermatology at 1600 Lake Murray Boulevard, right off of Ridgemont Drive and Nursery Road.

At both locations, patients receive state-of-the-art vein care from a team of dedicated professionals. After an initial consultation, the staff thoroughly examines your varicose veins and spider veins and recommends treatment options. Today’s varicose vein therapies are minimally invasive, and range from sclerotherapy to laser or radiofrequency ablation. All procedures are performed in the office, require little to no anesthesia, and allow patients to return to daily activities within hours.

While recovery from vein surgery is brief, the staff at the Center for Vein Restoration in Columbia works with patients on a post-op plan to ensure excellent healing. By making an appointment with our office, you will begin to finally be free of the pain, swelling, and unsightly appearance of varicose veins.
