We will perform an ultrasound to determine if you have any underlying vein insufficiency.  If you have underlying vein insufficiency, next we determine if you are a candidate for medical vein therapy or cosmetic vein therapy. If deemed medically necessary, insurance coverage may be an option.

You will feel some needle pokes, and some may feel more tender than others. Most people tolerate the procedure without difficulty. This procedure does not require any anesthesia.

Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but they are smaller and closer to the surface of the skin. Varicose Veins are dilated and elongated veins below the skin. 

• Spider veins have a small diameter, are red, purple, or bluish, and resemble a web.
• Varicose veins are larger, deeper veins that can protrude, resulting in a rope-like appearance.

Patients who present with symptoms of vein disease such as leg cramps, pain, heaviness, swelling, or restless legs are encouraged to schedule an appointment.

A local Anesthesia fluid, Tumescent, is injected along the course of your ELVA – treated vein segment to anesthetize your varicose veins. 

Most patients experience little to no discomfort.
