Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure where your doctor removes varicose veins through small incisions in your skin. The doctor uses a local anesthetic to numb the area before making the cuts and removing your unwanted varicose veins in segments.
Smarter Solutions for Your Vein Needs
There’s a better way to treat building veins—and no surgery is required.
An ambulatory phlebectomy removes varicose veins through small incisions, but that approach is no longer your only path to relief. Because of innovative medical advancements in treating vascular conditions, at AVLC, we favor Varithena. It uses cutting-edge foam technology to treat problem veins from the inside.
We proudly stay at the forefront of vein treatments to guide you toward smarter options for care.
