Vein Consultation & Treatment Process


	Step 1 Consultation
	Meeting with your treatment provider to determine the severity of your condition by reviewing your medical history, exploring your symptoms, concerns and questions. Examination of your legs with a Doppler ultrasound to determine vascular abnormalities. Review of your condition and explanation of treatment suggestions Start a course of compression therapy to help improve your condition and slow further vein damage from valve failure. Review of your insurance coverage and payment options. Once a Course of treatment is determined our Pre-Treatment is preformed.

Step 2 Mapping Your Veins

Mapping out varicose veins include a more detailed ultrasound called a “venous flow map” to illustrate the path of blood flowing through the damaged veins.
Your veins are checked for size and backflow of the blood down the veins called “reflux” which is one of the causes of swollen legs and ankles. If you have symptoms and reflux is present, then it is medically necessary to correct the problem veins.
Once the flow map is complete our specialist will discuss with you the best treatment plan for your specific problems. Most commonly Sclerotherapy injections, Vnus Closure or a combination of the two.
Sclerotherapy is a series of small injections to help seal the vein from the inside allowing the body to naturally redirect blood flow to healthy veins. After Sclerotherapy you will need to elevate your legs for a short time. May see some bruising.

Vnus Closure is a simple in-office treatment that does not require a hospital stay. This procedure is done by using a Closure catheter into a vein, heating the vein and sealing it shut. The body will redirect the blood flow naturally to healthy veins.

Stage 3 For those with serious venous disease unchanged with compression therapy

Vnus Radio Frequency Vein Ablation

From start to finish your entire procedure takes less then 45 minutes in the office with minimal to no pain. The procedures are covered by most insurance plans.
Under ultrasound guidance a small wire is inserted through the skin. Heat from the wire closes the vein as it is removed. This reroutes the blood to healthy veins and the old vein is absorbed by the body.
