**About Venous Disease - It is estimated that up to 50% of the adult population in the United States will develop some kind of venous disease in their lifetime. From the mild, burning pain of simple spider veins to the development of huge protruding varicosities, venous disease is becoming increasingly commonplace among both men and women. With advances in laser and ultrasound technology, treating varicose and spider veins has become extraordinarily low risk, pain free, and hassle free with very little or no down time.
FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO VEIN DISEASE:
Heredity
Hormonal- Pregnancy, Birth control, Menstrual Cycle, Estrogen Therapy
Prolonged Standing
Prolonged Sitting
Obesity
Binding clothing – tight underwear- girdles
There are always exceptions to the rule and many patients may present varicose veins without any of the mentioned contributing factors. Whether you have a simple cosmetic issue or a serious medical condition, there are many options available today to treat venous disease.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

SURGICAL TREATMENTS:

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a nonsurgical office procedure used to eliminate visible spider veins by injection of a concentrated glucose solution through a tiny needle.

Phlebectomy
Ambulatory Phlebectomy This procedure is the most common treatment for varicose veins in the event that laser treatment of the vein is not feasible. This procedure is also done under local anesthetic and involves mapping the veins, numbing these areas and making micro punctures in the skin whereby the veins can be “teased” out with tiny hooks.In many cases, patients who have only visible spider veins need mini phlebectomies to eliminate the reticular varicosities that lie beneath the skin. These reticular veins are the “feeders” to the spider veins and must be treated before the spider veins themselves are treated. If the hidden reticular veins are not removed, any treatment of the spider veins will result in a waste of time and money as these spider veins will continue to reform in the same area.
