Comprehensive Diagnosis for Accurate Vein Treatment

At Vein Treatment Clinic, effective care begins with a thorough understanding of your condition. Dr. Saraf diagnoses vein issues using duplex ultrasound, which provides detailed imaging to help assess the underlying causes of venous insufficiency and visible vein issues. This step is crucial, as identifying the root cause enables the creation of a personalized treatment plan targeting the underlying issues rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms.

If you have been experiencing symptoms like aching legs, swelling, or visible veins, it’s essential to have a vein specialist examine your veins. With Dr. Saraf, you can feel confident that your diagnosis is backed by the latest technology and expertise in vascular interpretation.

Minimally Invasive Vein Treatments for Maximum Comfort and Effectiveness

Dr. Saraf is highly skilled in performing a range of minimally invasive vein treatments that improve blood flow and relieve symptoms of venous insufficiency. The vein treatments available at Vein Treatment Clinic include:

• Sclerotherapy: An injection-based treatment for spider veins and smaller varicose veins. It involves injecting a special solution into the affected vein, causing it to close and gradually fade. While this treatment is often considered cosmetic, if venous insufficiency is diagnosed as the root cause, your sclerotherapy may also be covered by insurance.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): This procedure utilizes laser energy to close problematic veins, directing blood flow into healthier veins and reducing symptoms like leg heaviness and swelling.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A similar approach to EVLA, but using radiofrequency energy instead of a laser. RFA is a safe, highly effective treatment for larger varicose veins.
• VenaSeal: In this unique treatment, a medical adhesive is used to close the vein. VenaSeal is typically quick and requires no anesthesia, making it a preferred option for patients seeking minimal discomfort and downtime.
• ClariVein: This procedure combines mechanical and chemical methods to treat veins without heat, making it a gentle option with a shorter recovery time.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: A micro-surgical technique to remove surface varicose veins. Tiny incisions are made to extract the vein, offering immediate results and minimal scarring.

Each of these vein treatments is performed with minimal discomfort, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities the same day. Dr. Saraf will help you choose the right treatment for your condition and goals.

Insurance Coverage for Vein Treatments

One of the concerns you may have when considering vein treatments is whether or not insurance will cover the costs. At Vein Treatment Clinic, we understand the importance of insurance in making treatment accessible. Most vein treatments are covered by medical insurance if they are deemed medically necessary. This includes cases where your symptoms indicate chronic venous insufficiency, which requires medical intervention.

Spider veins are often considered a cosmetic concern; however, the good news is that if your spider veins are caused by venous insufficiency, the treatment for the root cause will be covered by insurance. This means that in many cases, even sclerotherapy for spider veins may be covered if it’s part of a larger treatment plan addressing venous insufficiency.
