Your vein treatment will start with a minimally invasive procedure for chronic venous insufficiency. At this stage, the vein doctor’s primary goal is destroying the diseased saphenous vein responsible for your vein problems. That should liberate the accumulated blood, allowing it to flow into healthier leg veins. The best minimally invasive vein treatments include radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation, and venaseal.

Radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation are similar. The vein doctor makes a small incision on the skin’s surface to insert a catheter into the diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. Once the catheter is in place, the vein doctor delivers tumescent anesthesia. Finally, the catheter is activated to generate radiofrequency or laser energy, destroying the diseased vein. Meanwhile, VenaSeal involves injecting a medical adhesive into the diseased vein to seal their walls shut.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency is a determination that is commonly treated easily. Vein surgeons and professionals generally suggest options for vein treatments and prescriptions that can remove the varicose and spider veins from growing.

Sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy are the best minimally invasive cosmetic treatments for superficial varicose veins and spider veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a sclerosant solution into spider veins, making their walls seal shut. This turns the spider veins into scar tissues eventually absorbed by the body. Ambulatory phlebectomy involves the physical extraction of varicose veins through small incisions on the skin’s surface. These procedures provide cosmetic improvements without addressing the underlying vein disease.

Minimally invasive spider vein and varicose vein treatments are in-office and outpatient procedures. They conclude within 30 to 60 minutes, following which you can resume your daily activities immediately. You’ll have to wear compression stockings for a few days, but that shouldn’t interfere with your daily activities. You may also have to avoid strenuous workouts. Your vein doctor will provide an overview of your recovery guidelines after the procedure.
