Laser energy helps to seal off varicose veins, providing immediate relief of symptoms. There is little to no pain with radiofrequency ablation.
This procedure uses an FDA approved medical adhesive to close the vein. Your doctor will inject local anesthesia and apply some pressure to the vein as it is being sealed.

Our vein specialists will perform a review of your symptoms and a visual evaluation of your legs. Vein screenings are not diagnostic and do not provide specific data regarding a patient’s symptoms or current status. Whether the problem is a clinical one or cosmetic in nature, you will need to have an ultrasound examination. The ultrasound is a painless test which uses sound waves to visualize the veins and how blood flows within them. This test is necessary to determine the health of the valves in the vein and provides a road map for treatment. It is also required by insurance companies to document medical necessity for treatment.Our vein specialists will perform a review of your symptoms and a visual evaluation of your legs.

Individual results will vary based on the specific person’s anatomy. Generally, treatment of superficial venous insufficiency (leaking veins) with endovenous ablation will eliminate the problem of reflux and should help stop the symptoms of pain and discomfort. However, this treatment may not make varicose veins and/or spider veins disappear completely. Swelling related to reflux in the deep veins of your legs may persist. Additional procedures may be necessary to achieve optimal results. The ultimate goal is improving the patient’s current quality of life.
