Treatments

Support Stockings

Adequate support may be all that is required if aching and swelling are the main problems. Properly fitted medium-strength compression stockings up to the knee usually work best.

Sclerotherapy

A small amount of a special chemical (Sclerosant) is mixed with air to make a foam. Under ultrasound monitoring the foam is then injected into each vein and the leg is bandaged and placed in a full-length stocking for a week. The foam causes inflammation in the vein which then shrivels up and eventually becomes less visible.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RF)

Radiofrequency Ablation is performed on an outpatient basis and only requires a simple local anesthetic. Using ultrasound, your surgeon will position the Closure catheter into the diseased vein, through a small opening in the skin. The tiny catheter delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to the vein wall. As the RF energy is delivered and the catheter is withdrawn, the vein wall is heated, causing the collagen in the wall to shrink and the vein to close. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood is rerouted to other healthy veins.
