Treat symptoms—not just appearance
Varicose veins are enlarged, bulging veins that can cause aching, swelling, heaviness, and skin changes. Spider veins are smaller red or purple vessels near the skin’s surface. We offer treatments that close damaged veins and redirect blood through healthy veins.

Varicose veins are more than a surface concern. Leaky valves beneath the skin can let blood pool, causing bulging veins, heaviness, cramping, and swelling. Our treatments close damaged veins so blood can return through healthier pathways.
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that often bulge beneath the skin. Spider veins are smaller red or purple vessels that form a fine, web-like pattern. In the legs, damaged valves can let blood flow backward and pool in veins, causing pressure, swelling, and discomfort.
Family history, pregnancy, excess weight, and increasing age can contribute to varicose veins. Hormonal changes and sun damage can also contribute to spider veins. Some people mainly notice their appearance; others develop pain, skin changes, bleeding, or ulcers.
An ultrasound helps us check how well the valves work and identify the veins causing symptoms. Depending on your needs, we may recommend compression, radiofrequency ablation, Varithena foam, or sclerotherapy. Not every visible vein needs treatment.
A small catheter uses heat to seal a diseased vein from within. Ultrasound guides the treatment, and local anesthetic helps keep you comfortable.
Varithena is a prescription foam injected into a diseased vein under ultrasound guidance. It closes the vein so blood can return through healthier veins. The leg is wrapped afterward, and a follow-up ultrasound checks the treated vein.
A fine needle delivers a solution into unwanted spider or varicose veins. The solution irritates the vein lining, causing the vein to close and gradually fade. Visible improvement takes several weeks, and you may need more than one session.
Your team will explain walking, compression, and follow-up ultrasound. Bruising or tenderness can occur as treated veins close and symptoms gradually improve.
A venous consultation includes symptom history, examination, prior clot or procedure history, and often duplex ultrasound. Sudden one-sided swelling, chest pain, or shortness of breath requires urgent medical evaluation rather than a routine vein visit.
Your care pathway
We review symptoms, skin changes, swelling, and visible veins.
Ultrasound identifies valves or vein segments that are not moving blood effectively.
Options may include compression, ablation, sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, or coordinated wound care.
Follow-up addresses healing, residual symptoms, and long-term venous health.
Recovery varies by treatment, but many vein procedures are performed in an outpatient setting with walking encouraged soon afterward. Compression and activity instructions are individualized.
Common questions
Not always. They may be associated with venous reflux and symptoms such as aching, swelling, skin changes, or ulcers. Ultrasound helps clarify the underlying problem.
It occurs when leg veins do not return blood toward the heart efficiently, often because vein valves are not working properly. Blood can pool, raising pressure in the lower legs.
Successfully closed veins generally remain closed, but venous disease can progress and other veins may become symptomatic. Follow-up and management of contributing factors remain important.

A wound that is slow to heal needs careful treatment. We check for poor circulation, pressure, swelling, infection, and other health problems that can delay healing, then choose the dressings and treatments your wound needs.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) develops when fatty deposits narrow or block arteries and reduce blood flow, most often to the legs and feet. You may notice cramping when you walk, burning or aching in the feet and legs while at rest, or sores that take a long time to heal.
Pelvic congestion syndrome can develop when blood pools in enlarged veins in the pelvis, causing ongoing pain or heaviness. Treatment closes the affected veins so blood can return through healthier routes.
