Varicose Vein Center in Islip: Best Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment Procedures

Vein Treatment Clinic, Long Island, is a varicose vein center located in Lindenhurst, a short 5-minute drive from southern state parkway with the Bergen Point Golf Course and the Southward Ho Country Club. Our vein center is highly accessible because it’s less than 15 minutes from Islip, Long Island.

In addition to being a highly-accessible vein treatment center in Long Island, our vein clinic has a strong reputation as one of the country’s finest vein centers. We have perfect 5-star ratings and reviews from patients, all testifying to the efficacy and comfort of our vein treatment procedures. And that’s what we’re here to discuss.

Vein Treatment Clinic specializes in minimally invasive varicose vein treatment procedures, including radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, VenaSeal, ambulatory phlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. During your consultation, our vein doctor diagnoses the root cause of your vein problems to determine if you have underlying chronic venous insufficiency, allowing them to recommend personalized vein treatment options.

Vein Treatment Clinic only provides minimally invasive treatment options instead of surgical treatment options. We avoid surgical treatments because vascular surgery is completely unnecessary, relatively ineffective, and has a high risk of complications, such as deep vein thrombosis and infections.

Minimally invasive treatment procedures, in comparison, have a 97% success rate, cause minimal pain or discomfort, and have a negligible risk of side effects or complications. Furthermore, our vein clinic provides in-office and outpatient treatment options that conclude within an hour with no downtime or hospitalization. All of these factors have allowed us to establish our clinic as the best in Long Island.

In this article, we provide a detailed overview of all our minimally invasive treatment procedures. However, before that, you can go through this brief summary of your treatment options.

• Radiofrequency Ablation: This is a minimally invasive vein treatment in which thermal energy is used to collapse the diseased saphenous vein.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation: This is a minimally invasive vein treatment in which laser energy is used to treat chronic venous insufficiency.
• VenaSeal: This is a medical-grade adhesive used to seal the walls of a diseased vein, treating chronic venous insufficiency.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: This is a minimally invasive treatment used to physically remove superficial varicose veins from the skin’s surface.
• Sclerotherapy: This is a minimally invasive spider vein treatment used for spider veins removal, but only if you don’t have underlying chronic venous insufficiency.

During the radiofrequency ablation vein treatment, our vein doctor applies local anesthesia and creates an incision on the skin’s surface. The vein doctor inserts a catheter through the incision, driving it into the diseased saphenous vein under ultrasound guidance. Once the catheter is inside the diseased saphenous vein, our vein specialist applies anesthesia to the vein’s walls, before activating the catheter. The thermal energy generated by the catheter collapses the diseased vein’s walls, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart.

VenaSeal is a minimally invasive vein treatment in which the vein doctor injects a medical-grade vein glue into the diseased saphenous vein, using vascular imaging for guidance. The medical adhesive fuses the saphenous vein’s walls, effectively shutting it down. The accumulated blood flows to healthier veins, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart. Over time, the diseased vein hardens and gets absorbed by the body.

Ambulatory phlebectomy usually comes after one of the aforementioned vein treatment procedures. Once the vein doctor has treated chronic venous insufficiency, they may recommend ambulatory phlebectomy to remove the visible superficial varicose veins. During this procedure, the vein doctor creates incisions on the skin’s surface to physically extract the superficial varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy is the best vein treatment that removes spider veins from the skin’s surface. During the sclerotherapy procedure, the vein doctor injects the sclerosant medicine into the spider veins, fusing their vein walls to turn them into scar tissues. The accumulated blood flows to healthier veins, and the hardened scar tissues eventually get absorbed by the body. As the scar tissues are absorbed, they fade away from your skin. Sclerotherapy only removes spider veins — it doesn’t treat chronic venous insufficiency. As such, sclerotherapy is a cosmetic procedure.
