Varicose Vein Clinic in New York Describes Minimally Invasive Treatments for Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

During your initial consultation, the top vein doctors will examine your varicose veins and spider veins, ask you about your symptoms, review your medical history, and administer advanced vascular imaging tests. The vascular imaging test will reveal the diseased saphenous vein, allowing the vein doctors to curate a treatment plan.

Step 2: We discuss your minimally invasive varicose veins and spider veins treatment options.

Our vein specialists discuss all your minimally invasive varicose vein treatment options, depending on whether you have underlying vein disease. They’ll curate the ideal minimally invasive treatment plan in accordance with your symptoms, diagnosis, and insurance plans. We provide all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Step 3: The top vein doctors conduct minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins.

If you have underlying vein disease, our vein doctor will recommend one of the following minimally invasive treatments — radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, or VenaSeal. These minimally invasive vein treatments have an almost perfect success rate, they cause little to no pain, and they conclude within an hour with no downtime.

During radiofrequency ablation, the vein doctor delivers thermal energy into the diseased saphenous vein via an incision on the skin’s surface. During endovenous laser ablation, the vein doctor delivers laser energy into the problematic saphenous vein via an incision on the skin’s surface. During VenaSeal, the vein doctor injects a medical adhesive into the diseased vein.

While the methods may be different, all minimally invasive varicose vein treatments have the same goal. Whether through thermal energy, laser energy, or vein glue, they collapse or seal the diseased saphenous vein. Consequently, the accumulated blood flows to healthier veins, restoring smooth blood circulation to the heart.

Step 4: The top vein specialists remove the superficial varicose veins and spider veins.

Minimally invasive varicose vein treatments address the underlying vein disease, but they don’t remove the visible varicose veins and spider veins on the skin’s surface. Ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy are the best minimally invasive treatments to remove the superficial varicose veins and spider veins.

During ambulatory phlebectomy, the vein doctors physically remove the varicose veins through incisions on the skin’s surface. During sclerotherapy, the vein doctors inject sclerosant solution into the spider veins, turning them into hardened scar tissues that eventually get absorbed by the body, fading away from the skin’s surface.

Ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy restore your legs’ appearance. They’re considered cosmetic procedures, making them ineligible for insurance coverage. However, our vein center may include sclerotherapy within the primary minimally invasive varicose vein treatment, unofficially folding it into your insurance coverage. Please discuss this possibility with your vein doctor.

Step 5: We discuss post-treatment guidelines.

Minimally invasive varicose vein treatments conclude within an hour with no downtime. As such, you can resume all your daily activities as soon as you leave the vein clinic. Most patients seek varicose vein treatments during their work lunch break, allowing them to fit the treatment within a busy schedule without losing time.

Once the varicose vein treatment is done, our vein specialists will discuss post-treatment care. They may advise against certain heavy exercises and activities, and you may be asked to wear compression stockings for a few days or weeks. But you can resume most other daily activities without interruptions.
