Varicose Vein Treatment Offering A More Permanent Cure and Without Painful StrippingWhile often painful, most varicose veins are not dangerous. However, when the veins become very large, blood movement may slow as it moves through the dilated vessel. This can result in blood clots, or a condition called thrombophlebitis or simply phlebitis. This condition can be very painful. It can also be very dangerous if the clot extends into the deep venous system.
Varicose veins seen on the surface are often due to disease of the major superficial veins such as the Great Saphenous and Small Saphenous veins. Incompetence of these veins must be addressed first to fully treat surface varicose veins.
 Unlike antiquated “vein stripping” which is painful and can take months to heal, JVAI in our convenient location in Punta Gorda, Florida uses safe, effective laser ablation to treat these large varicose vein systems. This state-of-the-art varicose vein treatment offers a permanent cure for venous disease. During the laser ablation procedure, a fiberoptic laser filament is inserted into the diseased vein through a small needle puncture. Laser energy is used to close off the vein from the inside avoiding damage to the surrounding nerves and other structures. This results in less pain and minimal leg trauma. Laser ablation is a highly effective varicose treatment procedure and is performed in an office setting. Patients are able to resume most normal activities immediately. Unlike cosmetic varicose vein treatments that only address unsightly veins that are visible, laser ablation is a varicose treatment that eliminates the source of varicose veins and prevents their recurrence in the future.
Surface varicose veins are treated with microphlebectomy. During this varicose treatment office procedure, tiny needle-sized incisions are used to directly remove varicose veins. The patient achieves the best cosmetic results with a minimum of discomfort.
Our combination of laser ablation and microphlebectomy offer our patients the best results from state-of-the-art varicose vein treatment.
