Veins help recycle used blood and prevent swelling in the body. This venous blood is sent to the kidneys or liver for detoxification and elimination and back to the lungs to exchange carbon dioxide for fresh oxygen. When veins become damaged, many symptoms can surface such as swelling, heaviness, throbbing, itching, aching, and discolored visible veins. If you are considering leg vein treatment you can turn to Arizona Vein Specialists for professional care. With over 30 years of experience Dr. Lawrence Presant and his staff will help you alleviate your leg vein issues caused by varicose and spider veins.
Treating Leg Veins
During your visit with Arizona Vein Specialists, Dr. Presant will recommend a treatment plan for your vein disorder based upon the severity of your condition. Your treatment may be as simple as wearing compression stockings, injections or more involved treatment like laser therapy. Dr. Presant will work with you to find the best treatment plan possible for your individual needs.
Sclerotherapy Treatment
Sclerotherapy is a quick and painless procedure in which a liquid or foamed solution is injected into the varicose or spider vein. This solution causes the vein to close, redirecting the blood flow. Once the blood flow is sealed the vein will collapse and be absorbed into the body. Sclerotherapy is often combined with other treatments to produce the best results. The benefits of sclerotherapy include the elimination of spider veins, is virtually painless and produces no scarring.
Laser Therapy Treatment
The large main superficial saphenous veins may experience reversal of flow dur to valve Incompetence. This is diagnosed with ultrasound. A special laser fiber is inserted into the vein painlessly, with local anesthetic. Laser light flows from the business end of the fiber to seal the vein closed. The venous blood then drains directly through communicating veins to the deep system to exit the leg.
After Care
After receiving leg vein treatments, you will be able to return to your normal daily activities with little to no downtime. Compression socks may be needed in some situations. There will be minimal redness, swelling or bruising after treatment.
Insurance
It is recommended to contact your insurance provider to understand what treatments are covered under your policy and if there is a waiting period. In many cases, the low cost of the procedure is less than most insurance deductibles and patients opt to avoid the 3 month delay.
