Prior to any treatment, a venous insufficiency study must be performed to assess for backward blood flow. If it is found that you do not have venous insufficiency, there are other treatment options available. If a positive result is found, a personalized care plan will be established. These tests are performed on-site, with flexible scheduling options. Most insurances cover this test, as it is a diagnostic exam.

If venous insufficiency is diagnosed, the first treatment would consist of closing the diseased vein, also known as Venefit. This is done in the office setting, with local anesthetic only. Go about your activities the very next day. There is no pre-procedure testing needed such as bloodwork, or EKG. There is no fasting prior to the procedure, and you do not need a driver. It is a minimally invasive procedure, covered by most insurances. We will assist with the authorization process prior to any services.

Once all the veins are closed that had backward flow, should any remaining veins be left behind due to the severity and progression of the untreated veins, a follow-up procedure known as phlebectomy may be beneficial. Phlebectomy will remove left behind bulging veins in very small segments by incisions so tiny that no stitches are required, Go about your normal activities the very next day. This is also covered by most insurances.

Sclerotherapy is a safe medical procedure that treats both the symptoms and the cause of varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy treatment sessions usually take less than half an hour, with no hospitalization required. For sclerotherapy treatments, a series of microinjections of a solution are administered directly into varicose veins or spider veins.
