Endovenous Laser Procedure - The endovenous laser procedure is performed right in the office. After local anesthesia is given to a small area on the leg, the tiny laser fiber is guided up into the varicose vein. The laser is then turned on, and as it is slowly withdrawn, the laser energy seals the vein shut.

VNUS Closure Catheter Procedure - The skin on the inside of the thigh is injected with xylocaine, and then a thin radio frequency catheter is fed into the vein. This highly sophisticated catheter then delivers energy to the inside of the vein, and is slowly withdrawn. The catheter has temperature sensors on it, which I monitor during the procedure. This ensures that the vein is getting the exact amount of heat to close the vein permanently.

UltaSound-Guided Sclerotherapy - Sclerotherapy is a technique that involves the injection of solution into varicose veins. This causes the varicose veins to shrivel and gradually disappear.

Microphlebectomy - The removal of medium varicose veins through 1mm incisions, which heal with essentially no scars.

Sclerotherapy for Spider and Reticular veins - Sclerotherapy is a non surgical treatment for Varicose Veins that involves injecting a saline or detergent like-solution into the vein, causing the lining of the vein wall to swell, stick together and ultimately seal shut.
