Treatment Evaluation
Proper diagnosis is critical to effective vein treatment. During your initial consultation, one of our Premier Vascular & Vein Center surgeons will examine your legs and veins while you are standing. He may then recommend an ultrasound exam to check the blood flow in your superficial and deep veins.
Premier Vascular & Vein Center uses an ultrasound procedure known as duplex vein scanning to identify and assess abnormal valve function in the veins. This diagnostic test is a necessary step for the best long-term cosmetic and therapeutic results. It takes less than an hour and is covered by most insurance companies.
When Do You Need Treatment?
The main goal of treatment is to reduce your symptoms and help restore healthy legs. Not all varicose and spider veins require medical treatment. Your goal may be to improve the appearance of your legs. If your varicose veins are causing pain and discomfort, and making it difficult to walk or stand, compression therapy or medical treatment may be recommended.
Please note: Varicose veins can also be an indication of a more serious condition if you also have foot or leg ulcers, fungal and bacterial skin infections, or inflammation or bleeding in the vein. Your Premier Vascular & Vein Center surgeon will access the severity level of your specific vein issues and determine how to treat them most effectively.
Compression Therapy
Compression stockings are a conservative treatment for relieving the symptoms of varicose veins. Fitted compression stockings are designed to increase circulation by decreasing tension on the veins in your legs and slowing the progression of varicose veins. Compression stockings may be used alone or in conjunction with a medical vein treatment
Vein Treatment Candidates?
Most men and women with both light or dark complexions can safely be treated with laser vein therapy. However, individuals that are generally not candidates include: those on blood thinners; with serious illnesses; with dark suntans; having photosensitivity or bleeding disorders; or taking photosensitizing medications.
Vein Treatment FAQs
What common vein problems can be treated?
Common conditions that can be treated include varicose veins, spider veins, chronic venous insufficiency, swollen or aching legs, and superficial vein reflux.
Are compression stockings still useful after vein treatment?
Yes. Compression stockings can help manage symptoms like swelling, improve circulation, and are often recommended before or after vein treatments to support healing and reduce discomfort.
Is vein treatment always cosmetic, or can it address medical issues too?
While some vein treatments improve appearance, many treat medical issues like pain, swelling, skin changes, or risk of complications.
What can I expect during and after a minimally invasive vein procedure?
Most minimally invasive vein procedures are done under local anesthesia, are outpatient, and allow a quick return to normal activities; some mild bruising or discomfort is common, and compression stockings or light activity may be advised during recovery.
