Elevated care for aesthetics, vein health, and wellness
Vein Ablation
Advanced, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins
When vein disease progresses beyond spider veins, minimally invasive vein ablation procedures can offer effective, lasting relief.
At Veins and Wellness Medical Group, we use modern vein closure techniques to treat underlying venous insufficiency—the root cause of bulging varicose veins, leg swelling, heaviness, and chronic discomfort.
Our primary treatment approach includes Varithena® microfoam therapy, with additional closure options such as VenaSeal® available when clinically appropriate.
What Is Vein Ablation?
Vein ablation refers to minimally invasive procedures used to close malfunctioning veins responsible for venous reflux, or backward blood flow.
Instead of removing the vein surgically, the affected vein is closed from the inside. Blood is then naturally redirected through healthier veins, helping improve circulation and reduce symptoms.
These procedures are performed in-office, typically without general anesthesia and with minimal downtime.
Conditions Treated
Vein ablation may be recommended for patients with:
- Moderate to severe varicose veins
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Leg heaviness or fatigue
- Swelling that worsens throughout the day
- Skin discoloration near the ankles
- Venous reflux confirmed by ultrasound
This treatment addresses the underlying medical cause—not only the visible appearance of the veins.
Varithena® Microfoam Therapy
Varithena® is an advanced injectable microfoam treatment designed to close diseased veins from within. Using ultrasound guidance, a specialized microfoam is delivered directly into the affected vein, where it gently collapses the vein and allows the body to absorb it over time.
Varithena® is particularly effective for treating the great saphenous vein (GSV) and other refluxing veins associated with chronic venous insufficiency.
Why many patients prefer this option:
- Minimally invasive
- No surgical incisions
- Performed in-office
- Typically associated with minimal discomfort
- No need for thermal energy
- Fast recovery
VenaSeal® Closure System
VenaSeal® is another advanced closure technique that uses a medical adhesive to seal the diseased vein. Unlike traditional thermal ablation, VenaSeal® does not rely on heat energy to close the vein.
Potential benefits may include:
- No need for tumescent anesthesia
- Minimal post-procedure discomfort
- Quick return to daily activities
- Targeted closure of refluxing veins
Your provider will determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on ultrasound findings, vein anatomy, and clinical presentation.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Performed under ultrasound guidance
- Local anesthesia when needed
- Typically completed within 30 to 60 minutes
- Walking is usually encouraged immediately after treatment
- Return to normal activity is often quick
Most patients describe only mild pressure or temporary tenderness, and recovery is generally smooth.
When Will I See Improvement?
Many patients notice symptom relief within days to weeks. Visible varicose veins often improve gradually as circulation normalizes and the treated veins are absorbed by the body.
Cosmetic improvement may continue over several weeks to months, depending on the severity of the veins being treated.
Is Vein Ablation Safe?
Modern vein ablation procedures are well-studied and highly effective when performed by trained medical professionals. Ultrasound evaluation before treatment helps ensure accurate diagnosis, proper vein selection, and a safe, precise treatment plan.
Is It Covered by Insurance?
When vein ablation is medically necessary and supported by ultrasound findings, treatment may be covered by insurance. Our team assists with evaluation, documentation, and benefit review to help determine eligibility.
