Vein Treatment Process

Vein Treatment Clinic has a perfect track record with 5-star ratings from all patients, as mentioned earlier. That’s primarily due to our vein doctors’ comprehensive vein care approach.

The vein doctors at the spider vein center in SD follow a comprehensive and streamlined vein care approach. Instead of treating spider veins and varicose veins directly, they perform thorough examinations to identify (and treat) underlying chronic venous insufficiency.

Venous insufficiency is the root cause of most vein problems, including spider veins and varicose veins. As such, treating spider veins without addressing the root cause leads to a high risk of recurrence. Our vein doctors provide comprehensive treatments, thus ensuring optimal results.

The following is a step-by-step overview of our vein treatment process:

1. Initial Consultation: The vein doctor discusses your symptoms, reviews your medical history, and examines your leg veins. They look for signs and symptoms of vein disease, such as leg heaviness, throbbing leg veins, restless leg syndrome, skin discoloration, etc.
2. Vascular Imaging: The vein doctor performs duplex ultrasound, a diagnostic test that visualizes the blood flow in your leg veins. Based on the direction of blood flow, the vein doctor determines if you have underlying chronic venous insufficiency.
3. Treatment Planning: The vein doctor curates a personalized vein treatment plan for your individual needs. The treatment plan is designed based on your diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, insurance coverage options, and other factors.
4. Primary Vein Treatment: The vein doctor uses thermal energy, laser energy, or medical-grade adhesives to destroy or seal the diseased vein’s walls. The diseased vein eventually gets absorbed by the body, and the accumulated blood reroutes into healthier leg veins.
5. Cosmetic Vein treatment: The vein doctor injects a sclerosant into the spider veins, making them shrink and get absorbed by the body. The goal here is to restore your legs’ beauty.
6. Recovery & Aftercare: The vein doctor describes your post-treatment recovery guidelines and aftercare measures, such as wearing compression stockings.

Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment

Vein Treatment Clinic only provides minimally invasive vein treatments that address the root cause of your vein problems without hospitalization, harsh side effects, complications, or downtime. Minimally invasive vein treatments conclude within an hour with no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately.

The following are our minimally invasive vein treatment options:

• Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation: Radiofrequency waves and thermal energy destroy the diseased saphenous vein.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation: Laser energy destroys the diseased saphenous vein.
• ClariVein: A specialized catheter with a rotating tip mechanically damages the diseased saphenous vein and injects a sclerosant medicine.
• VenaSeal: A medical-grade adhesive fuses the diseased vein’s walls, turning it into a hardened tissue eventually absorbed by the body.
• Sclerotherapy: A medicine is injected into spider veins to make them shrink, harden, and fade away from the skin’s surface.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Incisions are made on the skin’s surface to physically extract the superficial varicose veins.
