About Vein Treatment in Encino

For some people, the symptoms of abnormal veins can be managed with at-home treatments, such as compression stockings and elevation. However, if conservative treatment isn’t enough to resolve the symptoms of your spider veins or varicose veins, you may benefit from seeking professional treatment. Some of the options available may include:

  • Sclerotherapy – During sclerotherapy, a surgeon injects a sclerosing solution into veins using a very fine needle. This procedure causes only mild discomfort and can be used to treat spider veins and smaller varicose veins.
  • Radiofrequency Ablation – Some varicose veins may respond well to radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that involves the use of radiofrequency energy to treat abnormal veins. The energy is delivered into the vein using a thin catheter. Pain and recovery time are minimal for this procedure.
  • Endovenous Laser Treatment – Similar to radiofrequency, in endovenous laser treatment, a thin fiber is inserted into the damaged vein through a very small entry point in the skin. The targeted vein is given targeted laser energy, causing the vein to close and seal shut. The veins that are closed are superficial veins that handle less than five percent of the body’s blood flow. The blood is automatically routed to other, healthy veins.
  • Microphlebectomy – For larger varicose veins, microphlebectomy is often the most appropriate treatment. During this procedure, abnormal veins are removed from the body through small incisions made in the skin. After microphlebectomy, the affected vein and its symptoms are often improved or eliminated.
