vein care on the forefront of
Vascular Vein Centers leads the way in improving the health of your veins.
With the introduction of laser and radiofrequency ablation around the turn of the new millennium, the whole landscape of venous therapy changed. Previously, patients underwent an operation that required general anesthesia and lengthy recovery. However, due to other conditions and their age, many of these patients couldn’t have surgery with general anesthesia.
Now, there is a treatment that requires only local anesthesia and doesn’t cause any debility. As the medical director of Central Florida’s first wound care center, where a large percentage of patients suffer with venous ulcers around their ankle, this new technology has been a godsend. Those of us who embraced laser and radiofrequency ablation early noticed a significant reduction in the time to heal these ulcers. Additionally, we have seen a very low reoccurrence rate. Before, compression was often the only treatment, but resulted in prolonged outcomes and frequent recurrence.

The new technology has also been a game changer, especially for those with symptoms of vein disease
(aching, throbbing, pressure, cramps, and heaviness) and early signs of vein disease, such as swelling, shin dryness, and thickening. In the past, patients would have shied away from an operation because of what was entailed or rumors from a friend or family member who had the operation but experienced a less-than-optimal experience. Now, patients can rest easy knowing they will receive nothing but the utmost care.
