Treating Varicose Veins

Historically, treating varicose veins was a painful procedure with a long recovery. Fortunately, painful vein stripping is a thing of the past.

VNUS Closure® is a minimally invasive procedure that is essentially pain-free with a very fast recovery. It's also covered by most major insurance.

A small incision is made and using a small catheter, a probe enters the vein, warming it to bring it closed. The body then absorbs the old tissue. Your circulatory system will create new, healthy pathways.

The outpatient procedure is done at our office and patients walk in, walk out and return to normal activities right away.

Physicians generally instruct their patients to walk regularly for several days after the Closure procedure and return within 72 hours for an ultrasound examination. Physicians may prescribe compression stockings to be worn for several days or weeks after the procedure.
