We do the legwork.

Aching tired legs may be caused by varicose veins. Approximately 50% of females and 20% of males are affected. Symptoms vary from spider veins to larger bulging veins. If left untreated, varicose veins may progress to swelling, ulceration and pigmentation.

What we do

Treatment may include

Sclerotherapy

small injections of medication with very fine needles into the offending veins

Foam Echosclerotherapy

an injection of medication turned into a "microfoam" into larger turquoise veins (reticulars) or saphenous veins. (Not always visable but feed other surface veins)

Ligation with Echosclerotherapy

This procedure is performed under local anesthetic or "freezing". We tie off a large vein or a "peforator" (a vein that connects a surface vein to the deeper vein system). Also called a "leaking point". Then we inject the microfoam.

GUIDED MICRO FOAM ECHOSCLEROTHERAPY

A non-surgical, relatively painless method of treating large varicose veins
