Varithena / Sclerotherapy
About Varithena Varithena is the first FDA approved injectable foam treatment for reflux of the saphenous veins. This treatment is also an alternative, injectable treatment of bulging varicose veins. It is a nonthermal or “chemical” ablation of the veins. It is a alcohol base foam that helps displace the blood in the vein while disrupting […]
Interventional Radiology
What is Interventional Radiology Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology which involves procedures relying on the use radiological image guidance (X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, or MRI) to precisely access the area of therapy. These are minimally invasive procedures as an alternative to open or laparoscopic surgeries. Highly trained Interventional Radiologists perform these procedures in […]
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
About Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is another minimally invasive treatment option for varicose veins. With ultrasound guidance, a tiny laser fiber is placed into the vein to be treated. After local numbing medicine is injected the laser is activated and slowly pulled back. This produces a reaction in the vein which […]

Radiofrequency Ablation
About Radiofrequency Ablation Radiofrequency ablation, also commonly known as RF ablation, is an advanced technique to address the varying degrees of vein disease. It is commonly used to treat superficial varicose veins. Radiofrequency ablation is an innovative vein treatment that poses less risk to patients who opt for vein removal. With traditional vein surgery, there […]
Sclerotherapy
About Sclerotherapy Sclerotherapy treats veins not visible to the naked eye, veins that make too many twists and turns for standard endovenous ablation procedures. It also helps with spider vein removal. Sclerotherapy is an office-based procedure that takes around 30 minutes to perform. You will be awake during the procedure. Problem veins are located using […]
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
About Ambulatory Phlebectomy Ambulatory phlebectomy is a procedure used to treat varicose veins that cause bulging in the skin surface. This is an office based procedure that is performed with local anesthetic (numbing medicine). After the skin is numb, segments of varicose veins are removed through tiny incisions. After the veins are removed, small bandages […]
