VNUS treatment or R.F. Endovenous Ablation – This vein treatment procedure is similar to the endovenous laser treatment. The catheter inserted into the vein uses radio frequency waves to seal and destroy an unsightly vein.

Sclerotherapy – A common form of spider vein treatment offered at our La Jolla vein treatment clinic, sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into the problematic vein. This solution causes the vein to collapse. Sclerotherapy has been used to treat large varicose veins and small spider veins for over 150 years and is still considered the “gold standard” for treating large varicose veins, despite advances in laser therapy.

Laser Vein Treatment – Endovenous laser vein removal is a simple, minimally invasive procedure. Typically performed under local anesthetic, this procedure involves inserting a thin laser fiber optic catheter into the vein and then applying heat to seal the vein shut.

Veinwave and VariLite Laser – This is a dual wavelength laser system that is extremely effective for vascular lesions such as: telangiectasias, cherry angiomas, spider angiomas, venous lakes, hemangiomas, port wine stains and spider veins.

Phlebectomy – Phlebectomy is the surgical removal of large, unsightly, bulging veins. This is a minimally invasive procedure done through small 2 – 3 mm incisions or puncture wounds and extracting the diseased vein. Usually no visible scars are seen because of the micro incisions. Usually this is done as an adjunct procedure to the EVLT or the R.F.Endovenous Ablation.
