TRIVEX
is a surgical technique for varicose vein removal. With this process the surgeon removes the
vein using a small, powered, surgical device while viewing the vein with a transilluminating
light. This method enables the surgeon to remove the veins using a minimal number of small
incisions and short operating times. This results in an easier recovery for the patient
and good cosmetic results.
Outpatient procedure
Typically 1 to 2 hours depending on severity
Recovery time typically less than 7 days
VNUS Closure Procedure
is a minimally invasive treatment alternative for patients with venous reflux, which often
results in varicose veins. With this process a thin catheter is inserted into the vein through
a small opening. The catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall causing it to
heat, collapse, and close. Once the diseased vein is closed the remaining healthy veins
take over.
Outpatient procedure
Typically 1 to 2 hours depending on severity
Recovery time typically 2-7 days
Sclerotherapy
is an office procedure used to treat smaller varicose and spider veins. The procedure involves saline injections with a tiny needle which collapses the veins and makes them no longer visible. Several sclerotherapy sessions may be required for a vein region.
