Saginaw, Michigan

Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) is proud to serve patients at our Saginaw vein clinic. The physicians and staff at CVR Saginaw have decades of collective experience treating symptoms of vein diseases such as varicose veins, spider veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and other vein conditions related to chronic venous insufficiency (vein disease).

The board-certified physicians at Center for Vein Restoration are world-renowned vein specialists, authors, lecturers, and trainers on the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating vein disease. Commitment to patient care goes beyond physician credentials, however. Our entire team works together to provide our patients with a level of comfort and understanding.

Our Vein Clinic in Saginaw, Michigan

Center for Vein Restoration now has nine clinics in Michigan, with the addition of our branch in Saginaw. Each clinic is led by a board-certified physician whose speciality is treating people with vascular disorders such as varicose veins and spider veins.

We understand the swelling and pain of varicose veins can interfere with your quality of life. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to offer the best in vein care available. You no longer have to live with the discomfort of varicose veins.

Center for Vein Restoration in Saginaw offers a full spectrum of varicose vein treatments, from compression stocking therapy to minimally invasive, in-office surgical procedures. All have been proven effective over many years in eliminating varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy, for example, is considered the gold standard of care for varicose veins and spider veins. The procedure uses a safe solution to seal the damaged vein so blood flows to healthy veins.

Varicose veins can also be treated with thermal therapy. Endovenous laser ablation collapses the affected veins using heat from a laser attached to a thin catheter. Radiofrequency ablation uses heat from radiofrequency waves to destroy the damaged vein. Large varicose veins benefit from ambulatory phlebotomy in which the vein is removed through two tiny incisions.

Our physicians are also experts in newer vein care treatments, such as VenaSeal, Varithena, and ClariVein. VenaSeal uses a proprietary medical adhesive to close off varicose veins, no anesthesia is required. Varithena is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure using a microfoam injection into affected veins, collapsing the vein. Blood is redirected to healthy vessels. ClariVein is a minimally invasive treatment option using a mechanochemical ablation device. A sclerosing agent closes the vein and a tiny rotating wire tip destroys the diseased vein.

At Center for Vein Restoration in Saginaw, we serve the community in which we live. We treat each patient as we would our family and neighbors. We ensure a speedy and complete recovery from initial consultation to the day of your procedure and beyond.

Services at Center for Vein Restoration, Saginaw

Our board-certified vascular surgeons offer a wide range of innovative treatment options for leg pain, swelling, cramping, itching, varicose veins, spider veins, restless leg syndrome, ulcers, and other symptoms of vascular disease.

Symptoms of vein problems

When the tiny valves in your leg veins fail to circulate blood back to the heart it can be a sign of venous disease.

The result can be:

• Leg pain

• Itching

• Swelling

• Cramping,

• Varicose veins

• Spider veins

• Feelings of heaviness

• Skin discoloration

• Ulcers

These symptoms are often the result of venous insufficiency and are unlikely to heal on their own. This common vein condition is progressive, meaning it will get worse without treatment.

Vein treatment options

Vein care providers at vein treatment clinics use the most advanced minimally invasive treatments available today. CVR’s modern outpatient treatment plans are far superior to the older vein-stripping methods used in the past.

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 agent that closes the vein with a tiny rotating wire tip, which destroys the diseased vein.

At Center for Vein Restoration we offer a wide variety of other treatment options including:

• Sclerotherapy

• Radiofrequency ablation

• Endovenous laser ablation

• Ambulatory phlebectomy

Vein treatments take approximately an hour or less to complete, and patients can return to their normal routine immediately with few restrictions. No staples or stitches are required because a simple band-aid covers the tiny incisions. Our in-office treatment requires only local anesthetics and recovery and symptom relief are fast, and there is little to no scarring.
