  1. Different Procedures to Treat Varicose Veins USA Vein Clinics

  2. Veins that appear swollen, twisted and enlarged under the skin are varicose veins, caused due to the weakening of vein valves and vein walls. This condition causes the blood to pool, stretching the vein and causing it to swell and protrude through the skin. The veins can cause itchiness and pain.

  3. Sclerotherapy Phlebectomy Treatments Thermal ablation Non-Thermal Ablation

  4. Sclerotherapy Under this treatment, a saline solution is injected into the vein, which causes it to scar thereby forcing blood to flow through healthy veins. The affected veins are then absorbed into local tissue and eventually disappear. The treatment is highly recommended as it eliminates varicose veins with no pain and downtime.

  5. Phlebectomy This treatment is also known as vein stripping. It is basically a slightly invasive procedure that uses a small scalpel or needle for removal of the varicose veins appearing on the surface of the skin of legs. During this treatment, a physician makes small cuts near the damaged vein to remove the entire vein. This treatment generally is carried out together with other veins removal procedure like thermal ablation.

  6. Thermal Ablation Thermal ablation, also known as radiofrequency ablation, involves using laser or radio frequency energy at approximately 200 degrees to heat the inside walls of the veins. This destroys the vein wall, causing it to shrink, and the body absorbs it gradually over time.

  7. Non-Thermal Ablation Two non-thermal techniques – Varithna and VenaSeal system – have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2013 and February 2015, respectively. The first treatment uses medicated foam to destroy the vein permanently, whereas the latter one uses a glue to shut off the affected vein.
