Understanding the Benefits of Nonsurgical Treatments
At Advanced Vein & Laser Center, we believe patients deserve a higher standard of care than outdated vein removal processes. In nearly every case, nonsurgical vein procedures provide the same quality of benefits as surgical procedures while optimizing your patient experience.
Through nonsurgical procedures like sclerotherapy or RF ablation, we reduce or entirely eliminate the need for incisions. This lowers your risk of infection or complications, as well as minimizing scarring and recovery time.
Additionally, our nonsurgical treatments also fit conveniently in your schedule. You won’t need to block off multiple days for your procedure and subsequent recovery. You can visit us for an hour long appointment with minimal disruptions to your normal routine. Get the care you need without the hassle of painful procedures, extended recovery, and dissatisfactory results.
Our Solutions at AVLC
Our nonsurgical treatments for spider and varicose vein removal in York include all of the following. Visit their respective pages to learn more about each treatment.
Radiofrequency Ablation
During radiofrequency ablation, Dr. Heird applies RF energy to enlarged and varicose veins. This energy creates heat in the vein walls, causing them to contract and collapse.
As your blood flow shifts to other veins nearby, you can expect relief from pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. Over time, the vein begins to fade and may even disappear entirely as your body reabsorbs the tissue.
Sclerotherapy
With sclerotherapy, we provide a method of spider and varicose vein removal in York that entirely eliminates the need for incisions. Guided by ultrasound or infrared light, Dr. Heird injects a specialized solution into the damaged vein.
The solution causes your vein walls to swell and seal shut. Over time, the vein will blanch and fade as the remaining blood drains away.
Sclerotherapy with Varithena
Varithena takes patient comfort to the next level by making sclerotherapy virtually painless. You can expect to feel a couple of pinches from the injections, followed by the warmth of the foaming solution as it closes the problematic vein. You can expect these sensations to subside rapidly. Sclerotherapy with Varithena is one of our most popular forms of vein removal because of its efficiency, enhanced comfort, and successful results.
How Surgical Leg Vein Removal Works
In nearly every case, AVLC removes spider and varicose veins through minimally invasive treatments. Older forms of vein removal included surgery, wherein the surgeon would make multiple incisions to remove the vein in segments. Although surgical removal is typically an outpatient procedure, it still requires more risk and longer recovery than our nonsurgical alternatives.
