Varicose Vein Treatment At Metroderm DC

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear dark purple or blue. They typically occur in the legs and can be caused by various factors, including genetics, age, prolonged standing, and hormonal changes. While they are generally not a serious health issue, they can lead to pain, swelling, and other complications if left untreated.

Our Varicose Vein Treatments

1. Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

EVLT is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to close off affected veins. This treatment is highly effective and often performed under local anesthesia, allowing for a quick recovery. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after the procedure.

2. Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special solution directly into the varicose veins, causing them to collapse and fade from view. This treatment is particularly effective for smaller varicose veins and spider veins, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime.

3. Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy

For larger veins, ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy allows our dermatologists to accurately target and treat the affected veins using ultrasound imaging. This method enhances precision, ensuring optimal results.
