What are the best methods for varicose vein treatment in NYC? Answers from a reputed medical center

Clarivein: Another advanced technique available at vein centers in New York 

The ClariVein is a specially designed catheter that has a rotating wire tip. Through this catheter, a medicated solution, called a ‘sclerosant’ is injected into the vein. The rotating wire tip ensures that the sclerosant is evenly dispersed in all directions. This solution acts systematically on each area of the vein wall, causing it to swell up. The swollen vein walls eventually stick to each other and scar, sealing the vein. Since the ClariVein technique does not use heat energy, it is more comfortable and may not require numbing injections at all.

Endovenous laser ablation: An alternative to radiofrequency ablation 

Several vein clinics talk of ‘laser treatment’ for varicose veins; in truth, this is just a slightly fancy alternative to radiofrequency ablation. The principle and technique are the same – except that, instead of using radiofrequency waves to generate heat, laser energy is used. Lasers are more intense than radiofrequency waves, and can generate higher temperatures. So, this can actually cause slightly more pain and swelling as compared to radiofrequency ablation. Many experienced vein specialists prefer radiofrequency ablation to endovenous laser ablation.

Varithena and sclerotherapy: Treatment for small varicose veins and spider veins.

 These techniques also use sclerosant solutions, which are directly injected into the defective vein. Sclerotherapy uses liquid sclerosant, and is generally reserved for really tiny spider veins. Varithena uses a foam based sclerosant, and is generally used for medium sized veins, as foam can spread out a little more. If you have both spider veins and varicose veins, these techniques are generally used only to treat the residual visible veins, after one of the above methods has already been completed.
