Varicose Vein Removal and Treatment

Varicose veins are swollen, dark blue or purple blood vessels that are visible and tangible beneath the skin. They often look like twisted cords, and usually appear on the calves, inside of the legs, and ankles, or as hemorrhoids during pregnancy.

Varicose veins form when the valves within a vein weaken and allow some blood to flow backward. The vessel walls weaken under the additional strain and balloon outward, raising the skin surface. Most people with varicose veins seek cosmetic treatment to reduce their appearance on the legs. Treatment often takes care of minor discomfort associated with the condition such as swelling, fatigue, itching and cramps. Sometimes, however, more significant problems can develop if veins are left untreated. Venous insufficiency occurs when blood becomes so clogged that it cannot return to the heart. This, in turn, can cause a clot to form that may block blood flow or break free and travel to the heart or lungs and cause severe damage. Bleeding infection and skin ulcers are also possible complications. For this reason, patients with varicose veins should be examined by a professional.

Advanced Vein at CEC of New England uses three different types of varicose vein removal treatments – call for a FREE consultation to determine which would work best for you.

* Sclerotherapy is the standard treatment for both varicose and spider veins removal. The procedure involves injecting a saline solution through a tiny needle into the vein, which then collapses and is absorbed by the body.

* Lyra through a process called Selective Photothermolysis, the Lyra laser is passed through the skin and is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. The heat generated by the laser light both injures the follicle and inhibits future growth, while leaving the skin unharmed.

* Gemini
