What Are the Best Varicose Vein Treatments?

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern. They can be symptomatic of an underlying condition known as venous insufficiency, where the veins aren’t effectively returning blood back to the heart.

To diagnose the cause of your veins, our vein doctors use duplex ultrasound, an advanced imaging technique that helps assess blood flow and identify any problems within the veins. Based on your diagnosis, your vein treatment plan will be curated with a combination of the following treatments for varicose veins.

Escleroterapia

Escleroterapia is one of the most common and effective treatments for small varicose and spider veins. In this procedure, a special solution is injected into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. It’s a minimally invasive treatment that requires no anesthesia and is typically performed in-office.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) uses laser energy to seal off the affected vein. The procedure involves inserting a small catheter into the vein, which then delivers laser energy to close the vein and stop blood flow. The treatment is highly effective and has a quick recovery time, with many patients returning to normal activities within a day or two.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is another highly effective minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins. Similar to EVLA, RFA uses heat to close the problematic vein. Instead of a laser, radiofrequency energy is used to seal the vein, allowing blood to reroute through healthier veins. This procedure is quick, and patients usually experience minimal discomfort and downtime.

VenaSeal

VenaSeal is a non-surgical treatment that uses medical adhesive to close varicose veins. The VenaSeal system is unique because it doesn’t require any incisions or tumescent anesthesia, making it one of the least invasive treatments available. The adhesive is injected into the vein, and it effectively seals it off, allowing blood to flow through healthier veins.

ClariVein

ClariVein combines mechanical and chemical methods to treat varicose veins. This procedure uses a rotating catheter that delivers a sclerosant into the vein to close it. The mechanical action of the catheter helps to break down the vein’s structure, and the sclerosant promotes vein closure. It is a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery time.

Flebectomía ambulatoria

For larger varicose veins that cannot be effectively treated with sclerotherapy or ablation, phlebectomy may be recommended. It involves the surgical removal of the vein through tiny incisions. It’s typically used for bulging veins located near the surface of the skin. Ambulatory phlebectomy is usually performed for cosmetic relief after the primary vein treatment.
