The Vein Treatment Center brings new developments in vein care to patients in 2006. Used in combination or alone, these treatments promise safe and effective results for all patients with vein problems.

Endolaser was developed at the VTC as a minimally invasive alternative to surgery for patients with large varicose veins. In distinct contrast to traditional ligation and stripping, Endolaser requires no general anesthesia, hospital stay, or recovery time.

Foam Sclerotherapy delivers precise results to patients with medium-sized varicose veins. Foam displaces venous blood and can be easily guided via ultrasound imaging to the source of the venous problem.

Glycerin Sclerotherapy has improved the treatment of small spider veins and broken capillaries. As the glycerin-based solution only irritates the inside of vessels, patients rarely develop redness or bruising in their treatment areas.

We’ve revamped our website! Visitors to veintreatmentcenter.com can now choose between ‘flash’ and ‘html’ versions of the site. Both sites contain the same reliable medical information and regularly updated “What’s New” page.

Women generally suffer from vein problems at a rate 15 to 20 times greater than men; however, men are more likely to have large problem veins. Although the number of patients pursuing surgical ligation and stripping tends to reflect this proportion, the number of men choosing Endolaser has increased by more than 300%. Men prefer the ease and comfort of Endolaser and appreciate that it requires no downtime from work.

Q: What is the best time to seek treatment for varicose veins?

A: Varicose veins and spider veins are progressive conditions. Without treatment, their cumulative nature will make current vein problems worse and increase the likelihood that new vein problems will develop. Consequently, patients are encouraged to seek treatment early. Likewise, we encourage patients to plan ahead for their treatment, as many modalities require multiple sessions to achieve desired results.
