Compression Stocking Therapy

Wearing compressions may be a conservative therapy for the treatment of varicose veins. The use of compression stockings is usually included in conjunction with other varicose veins treatment. Compression stockings are available in many styles and compression levels. Your physician will advise you on the proper style and compression level and provide instruction about when and length of time to wear your stockings. To ensure your compression stockings work they must fit properly. Consult your compression stocking retailer to find the correct size. The Laser Vein Center offers a large selection of compression stockings at discounted prices.

Diagnostic Venous Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound imaging (also called ultrasound scanning or sonography)  is a procedure that produces pictures of the inside of the body using high frequency sound waves. These pictures are shown on a monitor in real time. The monitor displays the internal body structure and its movement. The ultrasound can show the blood moving through the veins. Ultrasound imaging may be used to examine internal organs and body parts to detect physical abnormalities or functional abnormalities. Ultrasound imaging is most commonly known for its use in pregnancy, where it is used to evaluate the fetus. Other common uses of ultrasound imaging include evaluation of blood flow through the veins and arteries and the detection of blood clots.   

 Duplex ultrasound (also called Doppler ultrasound) imaging is ultrasound imaging that uses a Doppler which can measure the blood flow through veins and arteries.  This special technique is used to evaluate the health of the valves in the veins and can determine in which direction the blood is flowing.

EndoVenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is the latest innovation in the treatment of varicose veins. EVLT is the preferred method of treatment utilized by the Laser Vein Center for Excellence. This minimally procedure is the alternative to the traditional vein stripping surgery which involves long recovery periods and unsightly scars. EVLT uses the modern technologies of endovascular techniques combined with Laser technology to affectively treat varicose veins without surgery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in the doctor’s office with no scarring. Patients may return to normal activities immediately after the procedure with a relatively pain-free recovery period.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is often used to treat small varicose veins and spider veins. It requires a tiny needle inserted into the vein and a sclerosant agent injected. This agent will seal the vein and the vein will dissolve. Sclerotherapy does not require any anesthetic or recovery period. This treatment usually takes 20 – 30 minutes and may require several sessions to completely treat all the affected veins. Patients may resume normal activity immediately.

Laser Treatment of Spider Veins

The use of laser light energy can be utilized for the treatment of small spider veins. This procedure requires no anesthetic and is often performed by a supervised technician in the office. The laser energy is introduced through the skin and is absorbed by the spider veins causing them to coagulate and dissolve. This treatment usually requires several sessions to complete. It also may be used in conjunction with sclerotherapy.
