Vein disease treatment used to be complicated, with surgery often being the only option. However, the advent of advanced minimally invasive techniques has revolutionized vein treatments. Today, treating vein disease is faster, safer, and easier than ever. Ultrasound-guided office procedures have consistently shown excellent results for patients.
Venous ablation remains the gold standard and is the first-line treatment recommended by most vein specialists for addressing varicose and spider veins.

Yes, both Liquid and Foam preparations used in sclerotherapy are FDA-approved for vein treatments.
The treatments are essentially pain-free procedures. To ensure comfort, we inject a "numbing" medication (Lidocaine) at the site of needle insertion, which helps to prevent any pain during the procedure.
The best vein treatment for you will be determined by your vein doctor after your initial consultation, where your specific goals and concerns will be discussed. Some of the most effective treatments for varicose and spider veins include sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and VenaSeal.
Polidocanol is the preferred treatment solution for sclerotherapy. It offers a significantly better safety profile compared to other solutions like hypertonic saline, sotradecol (STS), and glycerin.
There is no required recovery time for the procedure. You can even come in during your lunch break, receive the treatment, and return to work after just 30 minutes!
After the initial treatment session, many patients begin to notice significant improvement within 6 to 8 weeks. For optimal results, some patients may require two or three additional therapy sessions.
No treatment is suitable for every patient. Sclerotherapy is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have active deep venous thrombosis, are dealing with an active infection, or are bedridden
The risks associated with sclerotherapy are generally minimal. The most common side effects are mild irritation or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, more serious side effects like local skin damage or blood clots may occur. However, when performed using proper techniques, long-term complications are extremely rare.
Sclerotherapy can be used for both cosmetic and medical treatment of venous insufficiency. However, only medical treatments are typically covered by insurance. In many cases, addressing underlying, often undiagnosed venous insufficiency will also improve cosmetic appearance, correcting most visible vein issues

Also known as Mechanochemical Ablation, ClariVein is a newer, more effective treatment technique compared to traditional methods. While Endovenous Laser Ablation uses thermal energy to treat veins, ClariVein employs a rotating wire combined with an injectable medication to mechanically damage the vein walls and close the vein from the inside.
The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the affected vein, which uses a rotating tip to damage the vein walls while simultaneously delivering a sclerosant medication. This causes the vein to collapse and redirect blood flow to healthier veins.
ClariVein requires only a single entry point, doesn’t use heat or laser energy, and typically results in less discomfort. It’s minimally invasive, often performed in-office, and offers a quick recovery time.
ClariVein may not be effective for all patients, especially for larger veins or veins located in areas with dense arterial supply. The medication used may not work for everyone, and multiple sessions could be necessary for optimal results.
While radiofrequency ablation remains the gold standard for venous insufficiency, ClariVein can be used as an adjunct or complementary option in certain cases, depending on the patient's condition.
Most insurance plans do not cover ClariVein, but we can work with you to help explore coverage options if it’s necessary as part of your treatment plan.
While treatments like venous ablation are effective in closing abnormal veins, varicose veins can sometimes return due to underlying factors like genetics, lifestyle, or untreated veins.
Results typically start becoming visible within a few weeks, with full benefits becoming apparent over 3 to 6 months as the treated veins are gradually absorbed by the body.
The treated vein is sealed off and gradually absorbed by the body. Blood is rerouted to healthier veins with functioning valves.
Untreated varicose veins can lead to chronic pain, swelling, blood clots, and in severe cases, skin ulcers or bleeding. It may also worsen over time, affecting circulation.
Many insurance plans cover venous ablation, especially if the procedure is medically necessary. It’s always best to check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
VenaSeal is a treatment for varicose veins that involves using a medical adhesive to seal the affected veins. This non-thermal procedure is minimally invasive and helps reroute blood flow to healthier veins.
Under ultrasound guidance, doctors insert a device into the vein that releases "cyanoacrylate glue." This adhesive seals the unhealthy vein. Cyanoacrylate glue has been safely used in various other vascular medical procedures for years.
VenaSeal is performed with a single injection and does not use thermal or laser energy, making it virtually painless while avoiding the risk of nerve damage. The treated vein hardens permanently within a few hours and is gradually absorbed by the body over time. After the damaged vein is closed, blood naturally reroutes through the healthy veins in the leg, restoring proper circulation. This minimally invasive procedure is performed in-office.
VenaSeal is a non-thermal treatment, meaning there’s no heat involved, which reduces the risk of burns or nerve damage. It also requires no compression stockings and has a faster recovery time compared to laser or radiofrequency ablation.
The procedure is minimally invasive, typically taking only 30 minutes, and does not require general anesthesia. It can be performed in-office for most patients with no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately. However, VenaSeal may cause hypersensitivity and allergic reactions due to the injection of the medical adhesive ("glue"). There is also a higher risk of vein inflammation (phlebitis) following the procedure. Additionally, VenaSeal is not covered by most insurance plans.
