Several Options are Available for Varicose Vein Treatment
Sclerotherapy: A simple injection may be all the treatment needed for unsightly or uncomfortable varicose veins. This procedure can be used to treat spider veins and larger veins. If sclerotherapy is right for you, the procedure should cause your veins to disappear or become much smaller.
Miniphlebectomy: This is a procedure that can be used on small and large veins. Tiny pinpoint holes are made with a small needle. Using specialized instruments, segments of the vein can be removed through these openings. The tiny openings heal with nearly invisible scars. It is done under local anesthetic with minimal down time.
Transcutaneous Laser and Intermittant: Pulsed Light (IPL): In some situations, spider veins and intermediate sized veins may be successfully treated in a comfortable and cost-effective way using a laser rather than chemical energy to achieve closure.

LASE: This is a procedure using laser energy to vaporize the interior portion of the vein. This usually can be completed in the clinic, with local anesthesia and minimal discomfort and downtime.
Ligation: Treatment of large varicose veins may require ligation. This procedure interrupts the connections between the damaged veins and the normal vein systems. Ligation is usually done under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting, often in combination with other procedures.
