Although you may have an isolated vein, which could be treated by excising or injecting it, more often, there is an underlying cause, that should be addressed. If you see a vascular surgeon, they will likely perform a venous ultrasound, and based on the findings recommend the best treatment options.

Varicose veins are often caused by pressure coming from veins that don't work properly deeper in the leg. Veins should return blood against the force of gravity - when they fail, they allow pressure to flow backwards. That condition is called venous insufficiency and the pressure causes varicose veins. The reason people have these conditions (venous insufficiency and varicose veins) are primarily genetics, aging and prolonged standing. Pregnancy can exacerbate them.

For Varicose vein treatment Miami area patients should make an appointment for an initial consultation to have a fully ultrasound and then discuss treatment options. For patients outside Miami, we offer phone and video consultations with the potential to do ultrasound and treatments on the same day.

Varicose vein treatment is performed using one or a combination of three things: laser vein treatment, minimally invasive vein removal surgery - microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. All of these can be performed in the office using local anesthesia only and no downtime. Regardless of what treatment is right for you, make sure you see a doctor who specializes in varicose vein treatment - not someone who "does veins" on the side.
