Services
Varicose Vein Treatment
Our comprehensive varicose vein treatment addresses enlarged, twisted veins caused by faulty valves. Using advanced techniques like endovenous laser therapy and sclerotherapy, we improve circulation and alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and heaviness. Patients benefit from minimally invasive procedures that require no hospital stay and offer rapid recovery. Our approach combines medical-grade compression therapy with lifestyle recommendations to prevent recurrence and maintain vascular health.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy treats spider veins and small varicose veins through targeted solution injections. This FDA-approved method causes affected veins to collapse and fade over time while redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. Our specialists customize treatment plans based on vein size and patient health history. Most patients see visible improvement within weeks, with optimal results appearing after multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Endovenous Laser Treatment
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) uses precise laser energy to seal problematic veins. This outpatient procedure requires only local anesthesia and takes less than an hour to complete. Patients experience immediate symptom relief with minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities the same day. Clinical studies show EVLT achieves over 95% success rates in treating chronic venous insufficiency and associated complications.
Peripheral Arterial Disease Treatment
We specialize in diagnosing and treating peripheral arterial disease through advanced interventions like atherectomy and angioplasty. Our vascular specialists use real-time imaging to identify blockages and restore proper blood flow to affected limbs. Treatment plans combine medical management, lifestyle modifications, and minimally invasive procedures to prevent disease progression and reduce amputation risks in severe cases.
Venous Ulcer Care
Our comprehensive venous ulcer program addresses non-healing wounds caused by chronic venous insufficiency. We employ specialized dressings, compression therapy, and advanced wound care techniques to promote healing. Our multidisciplinary approach includes vascular assessments to address underlying circulation issues while preventing recurrence through patient education and long-term monitoring.
