Vein Treatments
Ambulatory phlebectomy - gets rid of varicose veins through a series of small punctures made in the skin adjacent to the vein, through which the varicose vein is removed in segments.
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy - is laser treatment that irritates the lining of the vessels - either by chemical injection or heat intense pulse light - causing them to swell and stick together and the blood to clot, then become scar tissue, which fades away.
Bipolar radiofrequency - a catheter is placed directly inside the vein wall and heat is used which causes the vessels to shrink, then collapse which closes the vein and eliminates leaking and/or reflux.
Risks and Discomforts
• Bruising
• Discoloration
