Learn What A Varicose Vein Procedure Can Do For You “Vein Health the Tip Of The Iceberg”
The Modern Varicose Vein Procedure
Failed valves - Failed vein valves cause mostleg vein problems. When vein valves fail, these delicate one-way check valves can no longer support the weight of the column of blood above. Gravity then causes increased pressure and congestion in the veins below failed valves.These veins then dilate, causing pain. These veins also leak fluid, causing skin changes, night cramps, swelling, some restless leg symptoms, itching and burning and gradual deterioration of the legs. The modern varicose vein procedure halts and reverses these changes.
Varicose veins - Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and tortuous under increased pressure from above. Dilated veins on the surface, spider veins and varicose veins,can be a sign of deeper problems. Usually, however, even with serious vein problems, no signs are on the surface. Most varicose veins are hidden and cause aching and tired legs. Your risk of both superficial phlebitis and dangerous deep vein clots is increased. Deep vein clots can cause pulmonary emboli and death. A simple varicose vein procedurecan treat these problems.
Varicose Vein Procedure - Modern vein treatments are four simple procedures: 1. The endovenous laser of failed veins through a simple IV. 2. Micro-phlebectomy of surface varicose veins 3. Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy of deeper varicose branches 4. Surface sclerotherapy of spider veins. All procedures are painless and take about 20 minutes. We use no scalpels. Patients can return to usual activities the same day. These are very effective, yet gentle, procedures. All procedures are performed in our office.
No More Vein Stripping!! - Traditionally, the faulty saphenous vein was stripped out of the body via at least two incisions. This type of surgery was performed under general anesthesia and had a long and painful recovery process of several weeks with many complications. The modern treatments are all non-surgical. The laser varicose vein procedure has been shown to be extremely safe and very effective. Patients can return to normal activities the same day.
Why have a varicose vein procedure? - The most common reason is to get rid of pain, aches, heaviness and tiredness. Other patientsmight have ankle and leg swelling, night cramps, skin changes, ulceration of the skin, itching and burning, or restless leg symptoms. Some have spider veins or ugly and dangerous surface varicose veins. Call us today to make an appointment for a free educational consultation.
