Your varicose vein treatment near Suffolk County will start with an initial consultation with Dr. Kamran Saraf, an incredibly talented and compassionate vein doctor. The primary goal of the consultation is to understand your concerns and determine if you have underlying chronic venous insufficiency, the underlying circulatory disorder responsible for most vein problems, including spider veins and varicose veins. Dr. Saraf always diagnoses the root cause of your vein problems to curate a personalized vein treatment plan — his comprehensive vein treatment approach has earned him 5-star ratings and reviews from all patients.

Dr. Saraf carefully examines your leg veins to look for signs and symptoms of vein disease, such as spider veins, varicose veins, skin discoloration, etc. He asks you to describe your symptoms, such as frequent leg cramps, restless leg syndrome, leg heaviness, leg pain, and leg swelling. The signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency usually worsen at the end of the day or after long periods of sitting or standing still. Dr. Saraf also reviews your medical history to determine your risk of chronic venous insufficiency.

The initial consultation is followed by advanced vascular imaging tests. Chronic venous insufficiency is a circulatory disorder wherein your vein valves collapse, making blood flow backward and accumulate in your leg veins. The continued accumulation of blood in the leg veins leads to vascular vein dilation, eventually causing spider veins and varicose veins. Dr. Saraf administers advanced vascular imaging tests, like Doppler Ultrasound, to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins, identifying chronic venous insufficiency. The diagnosis also allows the vein doctor to curate the ideal vein treatment plan, ensuring optimal and lasting results.

Radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and VenaSeal are the best minimally invasive vein treatments for underlying chronic venous insufficiency. During these procedures, the vein doctor delivers thermal energy, laser energy, or medical-grade adhesives into the diseased saphenous vein via a catheter or an injection. The diseased vein seals shut or collapse completely, and the accumulated blood reroutes to healthier leg veins. All minimally invasive vein treatments are performed under local anesthesia, so they don’t cause any pain or discomfort.

After the primary vein treatment, or if you don’t have underlying chronic venous insufficiency, the vein doctor performed ambulatory phlebectomy or sclerotherapy. Ambulatory phlebectomy, also known as a micro-surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure wherein the vein doctor physically removes the bulging veins through small incisions on the skin’s surface. Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive spider vein treatment wherein the vein doctor injects a sclerosant solution into the spider veins to fuse their walls, turning them into hardened tissues that eventually get absorbed by the body. Some patients need 2 to 3 sclerotherapy sessions for optimal results.

Dr. Kamran Saraf discusses your post-treatment recovery guidelines and aftercare before you leave the vein clinic. You’ll be asked to avoid lifting heavy objects for a few days, wear compression stockings for a few weeks, and walk frequently. However, other than those small lifestyle changes, you can resume your daily activities and work immediately after the vein treatment. Most of Dr. Saraf’s patients opt for vein treatment during their work lunch break and resume work immediately after the treatment. Dr. Saraf will stay in touch to ensure you have a smooth recovery.
