Vein Treatment Clinic, Long Island, believes that all varicose vein treatments should be physically and emotionally comfortable. We ensure the physical comfort of varicose vein treatments by providing minimally invasive procedures under local anesthesia. And we ensure emotional comfort by informing our patients of what they can expect from varicose vein treatments, allowing them to mentally prepare themselves for the treatment.

The twin focus on emotional and physical comfort during minimally invasive varicose vein treatments has established our Long Island vein clinic as the best varicose vein treatment center near me in Suffolk County. If you have any questions and concerns, you can find our vein clinic on the Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst, right on the border of Suffolk County and Nassau County, about 5 minutes from the southern state parkway.

This article provides a step-by-step overview of what you can expect during minimally invasive varicose vein treatments from our board-certified vein specialists.

• Step 1: Board-certified vein doctors curate a detailed plan for minimally invasive varicose vein treatments using advanced screening methods.
• Step 2: Minimally invasive varicose vein treatments, including radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, or VenaSeal.
• Step 3: Vein specialists may recommend minimally invasive treatments to remove superficial veins, including sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy.

Our vein clinic diagnoses the root cause of your vein problems before curating a treatment plan. Most vein problems, including spider veins, varicose veins, leg ulcers, restless leg syndrome, and leg heaviness, are caused by underlying chronic venous insufficiency.

Venous insufficiency is a circulatory disorder in which your vein valves collapse. In healthy veins, these vein valves are responsible for smooth one-way blood circulation, preventing blood from flowing backward due to gravity. When vein valves collapse, blood flows backward, accumulating in leg veins.

The continued accumulation of blood in leg veins leads to various vein problems, including restless leg syndrome, leg heaviness, frequent leg cramps, swollen legs, throbbing leg veins, spider veins, varicose veins, skin disease, skin discoloration, leg ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis.

During your initial consultation, our board-certified vein doctors look for the signs and symptoms of vein disease. They do so in two ways — by visually examining your leg veins, and by discussing your symptoms and asking relevant questions about your medical history.

Following the examination, our vein doctors administer Duplex Ultrasound, an advanced vascular imaging test. Duplex Ultrasound is used to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins, thus identifying venous insufficiency and the diseased saphenous vein.

Once they’ve identified vein disease, our board-certified vein specialists curate the ideal treatment plan. They discuss all of your varicose vein treatment options, describing the pros and cons of each method. We give you all the information you need to make an informed choice.

The aforementioned minimally invasive varicose vein treatments remove the diseased saphenous vein, but they don’t remove the visible spider veins and superficial varicose veins on your skin’s surface. After the primary vein treatment, our vein doctors recommend minimally invasive leg veins removal.

During ambulatory phlebectomy, our board-certified vein doctors create incisions on the skin’s surface to physically extract the superficial varicose veins. During sclerotherapy, our vein specialists inject sclerosant solution into the spider veins to harden them into scar tissues that get absorbed by the body and fade away.

These minimally invasive procedures are cosmetic, i.e., they only remove the visible veins without addressing the underlying vein disease. As such, these minimally invasive procedures are only suitable if you don’t have underlying vein disease, or after the primary varicose vein treatment.

Vein Treatment Clinic is the best state-of-the-art vein clinic for minimally invasive procedures that cause minimal pain and discomfort, are safe, and conclude within an hour with no recovery period. For more information, please schedule an appointment with our board-certified vein doctor today.
