The Best Spider Vein Clinic in Lindenhurst Explains the Spider Veins Treatment Process

Vein Treatment Clinic is widely considered the best spider vein clinic in Lindenhurst, as evidenced by our 5-star ratings and rave reviews from patients. According to one patient, “The doctor was absolutely lovely, as were the staff. It’s obvious that everyone at this office really cares about their patients’ needs and well-being.” That review pretty accurately sums up what makes our varicose vein and spider vein center special — we truly care about your well-being.

Our vein center is led by two incredibly compassionate and board-certified vein specialists — Dr. Caroline Novak and Dr. Kamran Saraf. Dr. Novak is a board-certified vascular surgeon specializing in venous medicine and internal medicine. Dr. Saraf received his medical degree from the University of Miami, and he completed his fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Both are incredibly skilled vein doctors with years of experience in the latest minimally invasive vein treatments.

One of our vein center’s distinguishing features is that we provide personalized vein treatment plans. Instead of following a cookie-cutter vein treatment template, our vein doctors examine your leg veins, review your medical history and insurance plans, discuss your cosmetic goals, and administer vascular imaging tests to curate a varicose vein treatment plan ideally suited to address your unique needs and concerns. We also help you get optimal insurance coverage for your treatment.

Vein Treatment Clinic has a unique 5-step varicose vein treatment process. This article provides a step-by-step overview of the entire process, from the moment you enter the vein clinic to when you leave the vein center.

Symptoms like leg pain, restless leg syndrome, throbbing leg veins, frequent leg cramps, spider veins, and varicose veins are usually (but not always) caused by underlying vein disease. Healthy veins include vein valves that ensure effective one-way blood circulation to the heart, preventing gravity from forcing blood back into the leg veins. Vein disease is a circulatory disorder wherein your vein valves collapse, leading to blood accumulation in your leg veins due to gravitational force.

During your initial consultation, our exceptional vein specialists determine if your symptoms are caused by underlying vein disease. They examine your leg veins and ask you to describe your symptoms, review your medical history to look for risk factors, and finally administer vascular imaging tests to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins. Duplex Ultrasound, the most advanced vascular imaging test, uses ultrasound energy to visualize your leg veins, allowing vein doctors to identify the diseased saphenous vein.

If you have underlying chronic venous insufficiency, we recommend one of the following minimally invasive varicose vein treatments — radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and VenaSeal. These procedures address the underlying diseased saphenous vein but not necessarily the superficial/visible leg veins. However, treating the underlying vein disease is crucial because otherwise your spider veins will simply return later. Radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation are also eligible for insurance coverage.

During radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation, our vein doctors create an incision on the skin’s surface to deliver thermal energy or laser energy via a catheter or endovenous laser. The thermal and laser energy collapse the diseased saphenous vein, and the accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins. During VenaSeal, the vein doctor injects a medical adhesive into the diseased vein to seal its vein walls. Consequently, the diseased vein is neutralized, and the accumulated blood flows to healthier veins.

After the primary vein treatment, or if you don’t have underlying vein disease to begin with, we provide minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that remove the superficial varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy is the best spider veins treatment available — the vein doctor injects a medicine into the spider veins to harden their walls, turning them into scar tissues that are eventually absorbed by the body. The spider veins gradually fade away over several weeks.

Minimally invasive varicose vein and spider vein treatments are in-office procedures that conclude within an hour. After the treatment, our vein doctors provide post-treatment guidelines to aid in the recovery process. After discussing the recovery guidelines, you can leave the vein clinic to resume your daily activities.
