about vein disease

What is vein disease?

Vein disease, also known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), occurs when the one-way valves inside the leg veins become weak or damaged. These valves normally help blood flow back to the heart. When they stop working properly, blood pools in the legs, increasing pressure inside the veins.

Over time, this increased pressure can cause varicose veins, spider veins, leg swelling, aching, heaviness, cramping, itching, skin discoloration, and even venous ulcers in more advanced cases.

Vein disease can progress over time without treatment, potentially leading to worsening symptoms and complications. 

Modern minimally invasive treatments can help relieve discomfort, improve blood flow, and reduce the risk of complications, often without traditional surgery, stitches, or an extended recovery.
Common symptoms to watch for
  • Bulging or twisted veins
  • Night cramps
  • Restless legs
  • Leg aching or throbbing
  • Spider veins
  • Swelling in legs or ankles
  • Heaviness or fatigue
  • Itching or burning
  • Skin discoloration
  • Slow-healing leg ulcers

TREATMENT

Treat vein conditions with minimally invasive care

Modern vein treatments use ultrasound guidance and are performed right in our office. Our physicians close the affected vein, allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthier veins. No hospital stay, no large incisions, and no traditional vein stripping.
How embolization works
  1. A tiny catheter is guided into the affected vein using ultrasound guidance through a pinhole-sized entry point, with only local anesthesia needed.
  2. The vein is sealed shut with radiofrequency heat or medical adhesive.
  3. Blood naturally reroutes to healthy veins, and symptoms fade as pressure drops.
Depending on your veins, we may use endovenous radiofrequency ablation (RFA), VenaSeal adhesive, sclerotherapy, Varithena foam, or ambulatory phlebectomy. Most procedures take 30–60 minutes, and you can walk out and resume light activity the same day.

Outpatient, same-day

No hospital stay. Most patients go home within hours.

No surgical incision

A single pinhole — no vein stripping, no general anesthesia.

Walk in, walk out

Most patients return to normal activity the very next day.

How do I know which vein treatment is right for me?

The right procedure depends on which veins are affected and what an ultrasound shows about how your veins are functioning. After a quick evaluation, your physician matches you to the least invasive option that will work; often a combination of treatments for the best cosmetic and medical result. You'll leave your consultation with a clear, personalized plan.

What's the difference between radiofrequency ablation, sclerotherapy, and phlebectomy?

Depending on your vein condition and treatment goals, your personalized plan may combine multiple procedures to address symptoms, improve circulation, and enhance the appearance of your legs.

How long will the appointment take?

Your initial consultation should take about 30-45 minutes. During your appointment, you'll meet one of our physicians, then, the doctor will discuss your current symptoms and health history. At this point, we will know if you need a diagnostic ultrasound of your legs.

The ultrasound appointment takes about an hour. One of our registered vascular technologists (RVT)  performs the exam. Then, one of our doctors will discuss your results and discuss treatment options.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

It varies by the size and number of veins being treated. A single ablation often handles the underlying problem vein, while spider veins and cosmetic concerns may take two to four sclerotherapy sessions spaced a few weeks apart. We'll give you an expected range up front so there are no surprises.

What is recovery like, and when can I return to work and exercise?

Downtime is minimal. Most patients walk out and resume light activity the same day, and return to desk work the next day. You'll wear compression stockings for a short period and avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for about one to two weeks, depending on the procedure.

How long do vein treatment results last?

A vein that's been properly sealed or removed does not come back. Because vein disease is progressive, new veins can form over time, but staying active, wearing compression as directed, and keeping follow-up visits keeps results lasting for years.

Are the treatments painful, and what kind of anesthesia is used?

These procedures are performed in our office using local anesthesia, with no need for general anesthesia or a hospital stay. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often describing just a small pinch or mild pressure. You’ll remain awake throughout the procedure, with our team focused on keeping you comfortable.

Does insurance cover vein treatment, and what will it cost me?

How should I prepare for my vein procedure?

Preparation is simple: wear loose clothing, eat normally, stay hydrated, and bring your compression stockings if you already have them. Because you're awake and procedures are quick, most patients drive themselves home afterward.
