No Hospitalization. No Lengthy Recovery. No More Cover-Ups.

However mild or severe your varicose vein problems are, our caring and experienced doctors and staff will work with you to choose the best treatment option to meet your needs and lifestyle.

Vein disease is diagnosed through a physical exam and a venous ultrasound test.  This test will determine if there are any blood clots in the deep, superficial and perforator veins. The ultrasound is then used to evaluate the blood flow within the vein, determine direction of blood flow through the vein, and identify reflux.

Sclerotherapy:

This technique involves injecting a problem vein with a chemical solution (sclerosant). This is simple to do, performed in a short office visit, painless and requires no anesthetic. The chemical solution causes the blood vessel to close, and it will eventually disappear. Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for treating spider veins and is also used to treat certain varicose veins.

VenaSeal Procedure

VenaSeal procedure is a safe treatment option for closure of diseased veins that involves delivering a specialized medical adhesive to close the vein so blood flow can be redirected to healthy veins.  Clinical results at five years are 94.6% and typically involves less bruising due to decreased injections during this procedure with only one needle stick of numbing medication needed for this procedure.  This is an in-office procedure and typically takes just about an hour to complete.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

RFA (radiofrequency ablation) offered at the Mon Health Vein Center is a non-surgical treatment for the elimination of varicose veins that's safe, virtually painless and requires little-to-no downtime.  RFA utilizes heat to close the diseased vein to achieve proven results without the discomfort and lengthy recovery time that can result from the surgical option of ligation and vein stripping.  The entire procedure takes about one hour and is covered by most health insurance.  Results can be immediate and are more than 91.9% effective at 5 years.

Your provider will discuss which option is best with you.
