Venous disease occurs when the tiny valves in your leg veins fail to circulate blood back to the heart efficiently. This can result in:
· Varicose veins
· Spider veins
· Leg pain
· Swelling
· Cramping
· Feelings of heaviness
· Skin discoloration
· Ulcers
· Itching
These uncomfortable symptoms are often the result of venous insufficiency and are unlikely to heal on their own. This common vein condition is progressive and will worsen without treatment.
Vascular care providers at vein treatment centers use cutting-edge minimally invasive treatments available. CVR’s modern outpatient care plans are highly superior to the vein-stripping methods used in the past.
Our vein treatments include VenaSeal, a proprietary medical adhesive that safely closes off varicose veins, and ClariVein, a two-in-one approach that uses an ablation device to inject a sclerosing solution that closes the vein with a tiny rotating wire tip and destroys the diseased vein.
CVR also offers a wide variety of other treatment options, including:
• Sclerotherapy
• Radiofrequency ablation
• Endovenous laser ablation
• Ambulatory phlebectomy
Vein treatments take about an hour or less to complete, allowing patients to return to their normal routine immediately with few restrictions. No staples or stitches are needed because a simple band-aid covers the tiny incisions. Our outpatient treatments require only local anesthetics. Recovery and symptom relief are fast, with little to no scarring.
