The Treatment Of Varicose Veins


There are many new and exciting treatments for varicose veins. These include laser ablation of large veins, injection sclerotherapy and minimally invasive surgical treatments. These can almost always be performed in our office under local anesthesia.

Dr. Ellis uses the revolutionary Dornier™ D940nm and the Diomed 810nm laser to close problem veins right in the office. Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment area, where safe and effective laser energy is delivered into the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Once the diseased vein is sealed, healthy veins take over and redirect the blood flow. Best of all, this technique requires no stitches and offers minimal or no scaring. Patients can even walk out of the office after treatment and resume their normal routine in just a few days.

Preoperative Investigation
For the great majority of patients a single history and physical exam by our experienced surgeons is all that is necessary to establish the cause of the varicose veins.

At this initial consultation the doctor will perform a venous duplex ultrasound examination which will provide a detailed "road map" of the superficial and deep veins in the leg and can aid in the planning of the best course of treatment.
