Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is quick, painless, and highly effective. Our specialist explains the many benefits of RFA and why he often recommends it as part of a customized treatment strategy for eliminating varicose veins.
Board-certified surgeon and leading vein specialist Dr. Michael Gioscia of the Vein Institute of Westchester in White Plains, New York, provides cutting-edge treatments that successfully eliminate varicose veins and spider veins.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Gioscia takes the time to fully evaluate your leg veins and devise the most effective treatment plan. This isn't a one-fix-for-all practice. Instead, Dr. Gioscia has extensive experience in all possible solutions.
Dr. Gioscia explains advanced sclerotherapy and its advantages in treating varicose and spider veins.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive, incisionless, painless vein treatment that qualified specialists use to eliminate the physical and cosmetic effects of varicose veins and spider veins.
During sclerotherapy, a chemical (sclerosing agent) injected into the targeted vein causes the vein walls to collapse. This action seals the vessel and prompts your body to reroute blood flow to a nearby healthy vein.
Bulging and discolored veins fade, leaving you with a cosmetically pleasing appearance that restores confidence and eradicates the swelling, discomfort, and other physical symptoms of unsightly leg veins.
Physicians have used sclerotherapy to treat varicose veins since the 1850s, but the treatment has undergone significant improvements in the intervening years.
Dr. Gioscia explains that a significant advancement relates to the type of sclerosing agents available to destroy the targeted vein. Compared to original formulas, modern agents are more effective, as well as less caustic and thus painless.
Improvements in technology include the advent of microfine needles that make it possible to treat even the smallest spider veins successfully.
For larger varicose veins, ultrasound guidance improves accuracy and makes it possible to target even deep veins via a needle puncture rather than a surgical incision.
New sclerotherapy treatments such as Varithena effectively combine ultrasound guidance and a foaming sclerosing agent to collapse varicose veins with just one needle puncture. A topical numbing agent prevents discomfort at the puncture site.
After your initial evaluation, Dr. Gioscia develops a personalized vein treatment strategy that may include:
