THE VEIN CENTER
Although millions of Americans suffer from venous disease, only a small percentage of them seek help. Most individuals can find relief and slow progression of symptoms through basic self-care measures.
According to the Society for Vascular Medicine, venous disease is a condition that plagues over 30 million Americans. Surprisingly, just 10% of these afflicted individuals seek treatment for the ailment.
Venous disease symptoms are wide-ranging. They can range from mild swelling and leg discomfort to unsightly varicose veins. In severe cases, the skin can suffer damage such as discoloration or non-healing sores. Despite affecting around 30% of the population, many patients remain undiagnosed due to this lack of knowledge.
To diagnose venous insufficiency, a physician will begin with a clinical examination that includes reviewing a patient’s medical records. Additionally, multiple diagnostic tests, such as ultrasounds, may be ordered to evaluate blood flow from the limbs back to the heart.

PROCEDURES PERFORMED IN THE VEIN CENTER
ABLATION OF SUPERFICIAL VEINS WITH MICROFOAM
Varicose vein therapy uses an injectable foam that closes diseased veins. Microfoam is a minimally invasive option, and in clinical trials only 4.0% of patients reported pain at the injection site. No cuts or stitches are required, and the procedure typically takes under an hour. Most patients see results after just one session.
ABLATION OF SUPERFICIAL VEINS WITH radio frequency
The Ablation System uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, a method that has been a trusted treatment for chronic venous disease (CVD) for more than two decades.
- Minimally invasive, performed as an outpatient procedure
- Requires only a small catheter entry point
- Often considered the preferred treatment by physicians
