If you're avoiding varicose vein treatment because you fear painful surgery, here’s some good news: today’s treatments are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime.

Interventional radiologists use techniques like:

- Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) – laser energy closes faulty veins
- Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation – uses gentle heat to seal veins
- Varithena® Microfoam and Sclerotherapy – quick injections that collapse diseased veins

These procedures are done under local anesthesia, with no large incisions and same-day recovery.

Healthy legs are within reach. Don't let fear keep you from getting the care you deserve.

Spider veins are small, red, blue, or purple veins that appear close to the surface of the skin, often on the legs or face. While usually harmless, they can be a cosmetic concern and sometimes cause discomfort.

Common causes include:
Heredity: If your parents had spider veins, you're more likely to develop them.
Hormones: Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control can all affect vein health.
Prolonged standing or sitting: Pressure builds in the veins over time.
Aging: Vein walls weaken, and valves may not work as efficiently.
Sun exposure: Especially for facial veins, UV rays can damage the tiny vessels.

💡 Tip: Staying active, elevating your legs, and wearing compression stockings can help prevent spider veins from worsening.

Varithena® microfoam is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a special foam to gently close off unhealthy veins. Once the vein is sealed, blood naturally reroutes to healthier ones, relieving pain, swelling, and heaviness.

- No incisions or stitches
- Quick, in-office procedure
- Minimal downtime

It’s an effective way to improve both vein health and leg appearance, helping you get back to feeling your best.

Fact: Modern Interventional Radiology (IR) treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia through a tiny incision, no stitches, no hospital stay.

Patients often walk out the same day and return to normal activities within 24 hours. Instead of weeks of recovery, you get lasting relief with minimal downtime.

Venous insufficiency occurs when the valves in the leg veins fail to function properly, making it difficult for blood to flow back to the heart. Over time, this can cause uncomfortable symptoms and, if untreated, lead to more serious complications.

Signs and symptoms to watch for include:
-Swelling in the ankles or lower legs
-Aching, throbbing, or heaviness in the legs
-Restless legs or night cramps
-Skin discoloration, especially around the ankles
-Varicose veins or clusters of spider veins

Early detection matters! If you notice any of the symptoms above, give us a call to schedule a consultation: (863) 577-0269

Sclerotherapy is one of the most common treatments for spider veins and small varicose veins. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

✅ Quick Procedure – The treatment usually takes 15-45 minutes and is done right in the office.
✅ Minimal Discomfort – A fine needle delivers a solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. Most patients describe it as a mild sting or cramp.
✅ No Downtime – You can walk immediately afterward and return to normal activities the same day.
✅ Gradual Results – Veins begin to fade within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months.

Endovenous Laser Therapy treats larger varicose veins from the inside out. A thin laser fiber is guided into the vein, where it delivers heat energy to close the diseased vein. Blood naturally reroutes to healthier veins, improving circulation.

Benefits:
Outpatient procedure
Local anesthesia only
Quick recovery, with most patients resuming daily activities the same day

EVLT is a well-established, FDA-approved treatment for varicose veins.

Not quite! While they both involve unhealthy veins, spider veins are small, web-like lines that usually appear on the legs or face. Varicose veins are larger, bulging, and often cause aching, heaviness, or swelling.

Both conditions are treatable—and the earlier you address them, the better the outcome.
