Varicose veins are enlarged veins that are often raised above the skin of the legs and look like twisted bulging cords. Varicose veins occur when the valves in the veins that carry blood from the legs toward the heart no longer function properly, causing the blood to pool in the lower extremities.

They often cause severe symptoms such as pain or burning sensation, swelling and skin changes or ulcerations.  Varicose veins are a progressive condition that worsens over time and can cause irreversible damage if it is not treated appropriately.

Minimally invasive radio-frequency endovenous ablation for the treatment of varicose veins, also called the Venefit procedure, is an office based procedure, performed under local anesthesia, with minimal postoperative pain, and excellent results in relieving symptoms, and improving cosmesis. Patients are able to resume their daily activities immediately, and go back to work the following day. This procedure is covered by most insurance companies.

At the Varicose Veins Treatment Center at Suede Surgical Care we offer all aspects of treatment for this common condition. From the first evaluation and screening, to the diagnostic Venous Doppler, and ultimately to the performance of definitive treatments to help in improving patients’ lives.

• Venous Doppler, that is necessary for diagnosis and evaluation of the severity of illness, and helps in designing a treatment plan that is tailored to the patient’s condition.
• The Venefit procedure, Minimally Invasive radio-frequency endovenous Ablation, also called the VNUS Closure procedure.  Is done right here in the office as an outpatient procedure, in a relatively pain-free fashion, with excellent results and minimal or no complications.
• Sclerotherapy for treatment of spider veins, which is done with great cosmetic results that assures patients greatest satisfaction.
• Stab phlebectomy for removal of unsightly varicose veins.
