However, we’re often asked about the varicose vein treatment process. This article aims to shed light on every step of the varicose vein treatment and diagnosis process. The following is an overview of our vein compressive care process:

  • Step 1: Vein specialists diagnose the root cause of varicose veins and spider veins.
  • Step 2: Vein doctors discuss varicose vein treatment options.
  • Step 3: Double board-certified vein doctors perform a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicose veins.
  • Step 4: Double board-certified vein doctors discuss aftercare and release.

Please continue reading for a detailed description of the steps involved in varicose vein treatment at our vein clinic in San Diego.

Step 1: Vein specialists diagnose the root cause of varicose veins and spider veins.

Spider veins are dense clusters of thin blood vessels that appear on the surface of the skin without bulging outwards. Varicose veins are dilated and swollen blood vessels that bulge out of the surface of the skin in a twisted and knotted manner.

Both varicose veins and spider veins are indicative of underlying vein disease, a condition in which your vein valves collapse and blood accumulate in leg veins. Vein disease is a chronic condition that gets worse with time. If left untreated, vein disease can lead to leg ulcers, skin disease, and deep vein thrombosis.

As a part of comprehensive care, our vein specialists first diagnose the root cause of varicose veins and spider veins. They look for signs and symptoms of vein disease like swollen ankles, throbbing veins, etc. Following that, our vein specialists use Duplex Ultrasound to visualize the direction of blood flow in your leg veins.

Vein Treatment Clinic is the best vein clinic in San Diego. In this article, our double board-certified vein doctors describe our varicose vein treatment process.

Step 2: Vein doctors discuss varicose vein treatment options.

Based on the diagnosis, our vein doctors curate a varicose vein treatment plan that’s ideally suited for your specific needs. Our vein doctors will discuss all of your varicose vein treatment options. They will discuss all the pros and cons of each procedure, along with the possibility of insurance coverage.

If you have venous insufficiency, the vein doctor will recommend minimally invasive procedures like radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and VenaSeal. If you don’t have venous insufficiency, the vein specialist will treat superficial varicose veins and spider veins using ambulatory phlebectomy or sclerotherapy.

Step 3: Double board-certified vein doctors perform a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicose veins.

Our double board-certified vein doctors specialize in the latest minimally invasive procedures for varicose veins and spider veins. At our vein treatment center in San Diego, we only provide minimally invasive procedures because they’re non-surgical, painless, safe, and they conclude within an hour with no downtime.

Our varicose vein treatment center avoids surgical procedures because they’re complicated, relatively ineffective, and they have a high risk of complications and side effects. Furthermore, varicose vein surgery also necessitates hospitalization and a long recovery period. The following is a description of our minimally invasive procedures.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure in which the vein doctors create an incision on your skin and insert a catheter under ultrasound guidance. Once the catheter is inside the diseased saphenous vein, the vein doctor will activate the catheter to produce heat energy and collapse the problematic vein. The accumulated blood will reroute to healthier veins, restoring blood circulation to the heart.

Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous laser ablation is a minimally invasive procedure in which the vein specialists create an incision on your skin and insert an endovenous laser under ultrasound guidance. Once the laser fiber is lodged in the diseased vein, the vein specialist will activate the laser to destroy the affected vein. The accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins, restoring blood circulation to the heart.

VenaSeal

VenaSeal is a minimally invasive procedure in which the vein dr injects a medical adhesive into the problematic vein under ultrasound guidance. The vein glue seals the vein’s walls, shutting it down. The accumulated blood reroutes to healthier veins, restoring blood circulation to the heart. The diseased vein eventually hardens and gets absorbed by the body.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure in which the vein physician surgically removes the superficial varicose veins and spider veins through incisions on the skin. This is a cosmetic procedure that only removes the visible veins.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure in which the vein dr injects a medicine into the spider veins to fuse their walls and seal them shut. This is a cosmetic procedure that only removes spider veins without addressing the underlying diseased vein.

Step 4: Double board-certified vein doctors discuss aftercare and release.

After the minimally invasive procedure, the double board-certified vein doctors will discuss your aftercare and release. You can resume most of your activities immediately after the varicose vein treatment, but you can’t engage in heavy-lifting or rigorous activities. The vein specialist will also instruct you to wear compression stockings for a few days or weeks after the treatment.
