These ropy or bulging purple veins found most often on legs can be treated several ways, depending on your specific circumstances.
Our doctors perform several treatment options for varicose veins. These non- to minimally-invasive treatments are designed to relieve pain and prevent complications.
Not everyone experiences pain with varicose veins. However, you should still practice some home remedies to help improve blood flow and alleviate any discomfort:
If home remedies are not producing the desired results, there are many treatment options available to relieve the pain and improve the appearance of varicose veins. Our expert vascular surgeons will determine the best treatment for your specific situation.
Heat is applied to the varicose vein which then collapses and heals closed.
Varicose veins are removed by making several small incisions along the targeted area and pulling the veins through. Microphlebectomies are often done in conjunction with vein stripping.
A thin tube directs radio frequency heat to the vein, sealing the vein and stopping blood flow.
A solution of sclerosant and lidocaine is injected into the varicose veins which reroutes the blood to healthier veins. The varicose veins scar and are then absorbed by the body.
The damaged veins in the leg are tied off or removed through small incisions.
