Personalized Treatment to Fit any Patient
Vanishing Veins provides personalized treatment from a specialist tailored to suit any patient. Here are some of the treatment options we offer:
- Closure: Also called radiofrequency ablation, this treatment is the gold standard for treating venous reflux or insufficiency and has not replaced vein stripping entirely. An ultrasound is used to locate and map the diseased vein, then the skin is numbed, a very small incision is made, and the catheter is inserted. The doctor uses ultrasound to feed the catheter up the length of the vein. Numbing medication is injected, and the catheter emits a small amount of radiofrequency energy to heat the vein walls. The vein collapses and is sealed off, so the body diverts blood flow to the healthy veins.
- Sclerotherapy: This treatment for spider veins (and certain varicose veins) involves injecting a diseased vein with a sclerosant medication that causes the blood vessel to close up and disappear. All it takes is a short office visit, and this treatment is completely painless. Many patients must return for more than one session to complete the treatment. A fine needle is used to inject the medication into the diseased vein, which causes the walls of the spider veins to become inflamed. The vein walls eventually shut and stick together. Over time, the vein is reabsorbed by the body.
Our doctor offers many other vein treatment procedures in Glastonbury to help you find the relief you need. A consultation with a specialist is the best way to determine your best course of action.
