Vein Treatments
We are highly skilled and experienced and have treated vein patients in Southern California for over 25 years. We specialize in minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins and spider veins that improve mobility, reduce pain and remove unsightly leg veins. Schedule a free consultation to speak with us about which solution is best to treat your vein problems.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used in the treatment of venous reflux disease. Under ultrasound guidance, radiofrequency energy is transmitted to the vein through a catheter. The energy from the catheter permanently correcting the problem.
Laser treatment for varicose veins or EVLT uses an ultrasound to guide a thin laser fiber through a diseased vein. The laser collapses the vein, permanently sealing it and eliminating the source of the problem.
VenaSeal™ Closure System
VenaSeal™ closure system permanently seals varicose veins with an advanced medical adhesive dispensed from a catheter. The doctor guides the catheter by ultrasound through the varicose vein, administering adhesive and applying pressure as it goes.
Foam sclerotherapy uses small injections of a sclerosing or sealing agent directly into the diseased vein under the guidance of ultrasound. The agent causes the diseased vein to shrink up and close or 'sclerose', restoring a healthier blood flow and eliminating unsightly or painful veins.
All vein treatments are usually less than one hour long and
have minimal recovery time.
Although a local anesthetic is given, patients can engage in light activity and return to work immediately after treatment. It is also recommended that compression stockings are worn for a few days.
