Varicose Vein Treatments
Varicose Vein Treatment
Reclaim Your Confidence and Comfort with Advanced Vein Care
Living with painful, bulging varicose veins impacts your comfort and confidence. As a sign of underlying disease, we provide a pathway to relief through state-of-the-art technology and personalized treatment plans for your swift recovery.
Understanding the Root Cause of Varicose Veins
Varicose veins stem from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where weakened valves in leg veins fail. When these valves are damaged, blood flows backward and pools, increasing pressure. This pressure causes veins to enlarge, twist, and become painful. Our approach provides lasting results by treating this specific underlying cause.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
We offer Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. This procedure uses controlled heat from a catheter to close damaged veins, rerouting blood to healthier ones and relieving symptoms like pain and swelling. RFA is highly effective, ensuring minimal discomfort and a rapid recovery for our patients.
The Advantages of Choosing Minimally Invasive Treatment
Opting for a procedure like RFA at our facility comes with a host of benefits designed around your comfort and convenience. We believe in providing effective care that disrupts your life as little as possible. Our patients consistently appreciate the modern approach we take to vascular health.
Minimal Discomfort
The RFA procedure is performed with local anesthesia, ensuring you experience very little discomfort during and after the treatment.
Rapid Recovery
Patients are typically able to walk immediately following the procedure and can return to their normal daily activities within a day or two.
Outpatient Convenience
This procedure is performed entirely in an outpatient setting, which means no hospital stay is required, allowing you to recover in the comfort of your own home.
Proven Results
RFA is a highly effective treatment that not only alleviates the physical symptoms but also improves the cosmetic appearance of your legs.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Your journey toward healthier legs begins with a comprehensive consultation with our dedicated medical professionals. During this initial appointment, we will take the time to discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, and understand your treatment goals. We will perform a thorough physical examination and may use non-invasive ultrasound imaging to map your veins and assess the extent of the venous insufficiency. This detailed evaluation allows us to confirm your diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan that is right for you.
The RFA Procedure: Expert Care in a Comfortable Setting
Performed with precision by our specialists, Dr. Collins and Dr. Brown, the RFA procedure is done in our comfortable office. In this outpatient treatment, your leg is numbed, and a thin catheter is inserted using ultrasound guidance. This device delivers radiofrequency energy to gently heat and close the affected vein.
Life After RFA: Enjoying Healthier Legs
Following your RFA treatment, expect a significant reduction in pain, swelling, and heaviness as blood flow reroutes to healthier veins. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including wearing compression stockings to support healing. Our team remains your dedicated partner throughout recovery, ensuring you achieve the best outcome for comfortable, healthier legs.
