The Vein Center
The Vein Center offers treatment for varicose and spider veins. Our surgeons are board certified in Vascular Surgery and perform all vein treatments themselves, unlike spas or cosmetic centers where aestheticians are hired to operate lasers and do injection treatments.
Varicose veins are defined as a defect in the valve of a vein, which limits blood flow, causing the vein to bulge. This defect can often be repaired through a minimally invasive technique called Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT).
The Vein Center offers Sclerotherapy Treatment for spider veins.
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid agent through a tiny needle directly into spider veins, causing them to contract and collapse. Because this technique relies upon fitting a tiny needle into a tiny vein, it is best suited to medium and large spider veins.The Vein Center also offers Laser Therapy and Ambulatory Surgery.
