During your initial consultation, our board-certified vein doctor runs advanced vascular imaging tests to identify the root cause of your varicose veins and spider veins. If you have underlying venous insufficiency, we recommend radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, or VenaSeal. If you don’t have underlying vein disease, we recommend ambulatory phlebectomy or sclerotherapy.

All our minimally invasive varicose vein treatments share a few things in common — they’re highly effective, mostly painless, safe, they conclude within an hour, and there’s no post-treatment downtime. This article aims to provide a detailed description of our spider vein and varicose vein treatments, allowing you to mentally prepare yourself for the procedure.

• Radiofrequency Ablation: Thermal energy is channeled via a catheter to collapse the diseased saphenous vein, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation: Laser energy is channeled via a laser fiber to collapse the affected saphenous vein, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart.
• VenaSeal: Medical-grade adhesive is injected into the diseased saphenous vein to seal its vein walls, rerouting the accumulated blood to healthier veins.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Incisions are made on the skin’s surface to physically remove the superficial varicose veins.
• Sclerotherapy: A medicine called sclerosant is injected into the spider veins to turn them into scar tissues, eventually absorbed by the body.

VenaSeal is a medical-grade adhesive that’s recently been approved by the FDA as a varicose vein treatment. During the VenaSeal procedure, the vein doctor injects the medical adhesive into the diseased saphenous vein under ultrasound guidance. The vein glue fuses the saphenous vein’s walls, turning it into scar tissue that eventually gets absorbed by the body. The accumulated blood flows into healthier veins, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart. This procedure involves no incisions, but it’s not yet covered by insurance plans because it’s still relatively new.

During ambulatory phlebectomy, the vein doctor creates multiple incisions on the skin’s surface to surgically remove the superficial varicose veins. This procedure only removes the visible varicose veins left after the primary vein treatment, making it a cosmetic procedure without insurance coverage.

During sclerotherapy, the vein doctor injects a medicine called sclerosant into the spider veins. Sclerosant fuses the spider veins’ walls, turning them into hardened scar tissues that eventually get absorbed by the body. As the spider veins are metabolized by the body, they fade away from the skin’s surface. Sclerotherapy is a cosmetic procedure, so it’s not covered by insurance plans. However, our board-certified vein doctor may include it with the primary vein treatment to extend their coverage to the entire procedure.
