Vein Treatments

Visible varicose and spider veins are more than a cosmetic concern—they’re often signs of vein disease.

The good news?

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

Endovenous Laser Ablation, also known as EVLT, effectively removes varicose veins using a specific laser wavelength, typically 1470nm, to seal off damaged segments of varicose veins, guided by ultrasound imaging.

Candidates are evaluated based on symptoms and medical history, with the procedure lasting about an hour and involving minimal discomfort. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately afterward, with compression stockings provided for optimal recovery. Regular exercise is encouraged post-treatment for improved outcomes and vein health maintenance.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy effectively treats small varicose and spider veins by injecting a safe chemical to close and eliminate them, improving skin appearance and alleviating symptoms like swelling and pain. Administered by Dr. Rosen, the procedure involves injecting sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) via a small needle.

Candidates are carefully evaluated, with alternatives like surface sclerotherapy considered for specific cases. Dr. Rosen emphasizes patient autonomy and provides comprehensive information for informed decision-making.

Minimal discomfort is expected post-procedure, with compression stockings provided for recovery, and regular exercise is encouraged for optimal outcomes.

VeinGogh

VeinGogh is a fast, easy way to reliably treat cosmetically unacceptable conditions like telangiectasia and spider veins, usually with less discomfort compared to older therapies. IPL or lasers can be expensive, skin type dependent, and have an inherent risk of injury.

Compact, portable VeinGogh instantly eliminates unwanted vessels. “Similar” devices use decade-old technology to deliver questionable results and discomfort and can have a significant risk of leaving visible micro-scars.

VeinGogh delivers outstanding results using unique, proprietary Microburst Technology, which creates effective, controllable heating of dermal vasculature without significant discomfort or visible damage to the surrounding tissue.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure for eliminating varicose veins and venous insufficiency. Dr. Rosen guides a catheter into the targeted vein using ultrasound imaging and applies radiofrequency energy to collapse the vein walls, which then transforms into scar tissue and are absorbed by the body.

The procedure requires no stitches, with only a bandage applied afterward. Recovery involves wearing compression stockings briefly and avoiding strenuous activities.

Surface Sclerotherapy

Surface sclerotherapy is a safe and minimally invasive procedure that effectively removes spider veins and reticular veins without surgery.

Dr. Rosen injects a specialized medication into the problem veins, causing them to close up and eventually be reabsorbed by the body, leading to their disappearance.

The procedure, lasting about 30 minutes, offers quick recovery with minimal downtime and may involve mild side effects like bruising or swelling, typically resolving within days or weeks.
