Top Non-Surgical Vein Treatments

Vein illness and disease is not something that is easily ignored. Whether you suffer from a small amount of spider veins, a larger buildup of varicose veins, or even from chronic wounds such as venous ulcers, you expect fast, effective treatment from the best specialists available. Before you can begin your vein illness treatment, the first steps are to visit a vein specialist and receive an in-depth diagnosis. Your diagnosis will not only outline your specific vein illness along with the symptoms currently present, but will also prescribe the best treatment options for you. Our vein specialists at the USA Vein Centers prescribe and perform several vein removal treatment options, most of which do not require surgical operations. This article will briefly explain the vein removal treatment options we currently offer and which ones do not require surgery, in order to provide you with further insight to your vein illness recovery. Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) Endovenous laser therapy is a simple option for vein treatment without surgery. For over a decade, our vein specialists have been using EVLT to treat vein illness, such as spider and varicose veins. The procedure uses a microscopic laser fiber that is inserted into the diseased vein via the assistance of a real-time ultrasound machine. The laser destroys the vein walls, damaging them, and restricting blood flow. Over time, the vein will turn into scar tissue, become absorbed by the surrounding tissue, relieving your symptoms. EVLT requires less than 15 minutes to complete and you will be released from our clinic the same day. This non-surgical treatment option has overtime replaced vein stripping and provides faster, more effective results. Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment Sclerotherapy is an ideal option for vein treatment without surgery if you suffer from moderate spider and varicose veins. The procedure is performed in our clinics by a vein specialist and typically takes less than half an hour to complete. Using a small needle and an ultrasound as a guide, a sterile solution is injected into the problem vein, causing the vein walls to become damaged and collapse. Like EVLT, the vein(s) will over time turn into scar tissue, removing the appearance of spider and varicose veins. Multiple injections may be performed depending on the severity of your condition. Typically, patient experience a 50 to 80% success rate with most their symptoms treated. In addition to these two non-surgical treatment options, some patients may be prescribed medication that assists in secondary causes of problem veins, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Simple lifestyle changes may also help to prevent problem veins from arising in the first place.
