Vein Overview

Vein disease is extremely common. According to the American College of Phlebology, approximately 80 million Americans suffer with some form of vein disease. Approximately 50-55% of women and 40-45% of men in the U.S. adult population are affected. To find out more about varicose veins and spider veins please visit this link: Womenshealth.gov .

The good news is that varicose veins and spider veins are now easily treated with minimally invasive non-surgical outpatient procedures with little risk and much better cosmetic results. Typical procedures last between 30 minutes and 45 minutes, are done with just a small amount local anesthetic (novocaine) and no incisions. There is almost no down time after the procedure with most patients resuming normal activity the same day. Patients can drive themselves to and from the procedures as there is no sedation and they can return to work immediately after the procedure.
