Varicose Vein Treatment NYC Procedure

By Rachael Hansen


There are a range of varicose vein treatment NYC options available. These range from cosmetic procedures for the reduction of the appearance of the problem, to complex medical surgical procedures. It is important to undergo a detailed medical evaluation to allow for a suitable treatment plan to be implemented.

The appearance of this condition takes on the look of purplish, blue lines under your skin. This condition is most prevalent on a person's legs. It starts to show once the veins begin to weaken. The small valves that are in the area lose its ability to push blood back to the heart. This causes pooling of the blood, and subsequent puffiness which becomes visible to the naked eye.

One of the most common treatment methods is sclerotherapy. This method is used to close off small and medium areas. During this procedure, a solution is injected into the affected area, causing scarring. The scarring forces the vein to close and the blood will be rerouted via healthier vessels.

Small veins are best treated by laser surgery. During this procedure, the veins will be destroyed by the heat of the laser, but your skin will not be damaged. This method is not quite as effective on larger veins. A possible side effect of this procedure is skin discoloration, bruising or blistering.

An option for larger veins is a minimally invasive procedure called endovenous thermal ablation. A very thin tube is inserted into the vein, and heat is applied via the end of the tube. Once the surgeon removes the tube, the heat causes ablation of the area and scarring occurs. This causes the veins to shut down, allowing suitable rerouting of the blood through healthier veins.

Many of the varicose vein treatment NYC surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. The patient will not be required to remain in hospital for more than a day. In some cases, it may not even be necessary for the patient to be anesthetized during the procedure.
