Varicose Veins

Varicose Veins? Oxygen-rich blood travels from your heart to your entire body through blood vessels called arteries. Once your body has received and used up the oxygenated blood, the unoxygenated blood then travels back to the heart through blood vessels called veins, to receive oxygen once again before moving back throughout your body. Veins work against gravity to push blood back up to the heard. To help combat gravity, veins have one-way valves that prevent blood from flowing backward and pooling in your limbs. In individuals suffering from varicose veins, these valves no longer work properly, allowing some of that blood flow to work in reverse. As a result, the veins are flooded with unoxygenated blood that may pool in your legs or feet. Read More About Arizona Varicose Veins Treatment

Spider Veins

Spider veins are tiny and thin blood vessels, which have a blue/purple color. They are found near the surface of your skin, and they are quite visible to the naked eye. What Do They Look Like? Spider veins have a shape that looks like spider webs, and that is where they get their name. Here are the signs and symptoms that you have the problem: Small thin veins that are close to the surface of the skin

Blue or purple in color

Web-like appearance closely resembling a “spider web”

You may have a few or many spider veins over your body Read More About Arizona Spider Vein Treatment

Sclerotherapy

What Is Sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is the process of injecting a sclerosant solution (usually saline or foam) into the affected veins. The solution then irritates the internal lining of the vein wall called the endothelium. This irritation causes a small clot to occur in the diseased blood vessel, which then stops the blood flow through the vein. The treated vein eventually disintegrates, and the body diverts blood flow to healthier veins throughout the body. The typical duration of treatment is 30 minutes with minimal downtime. Benefits Getting sclerotherapy can remove diseased veins, so the blood finds a better path to travel to the heart. Sclerotherapy in Arizona is effectively desirable for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Improved cosmetic appearance

Limited discomfort

Almost no downtime

Improved blood flow

Relief from chronic swelling

Reduced pain Read More About Sclerotherapy In Arizona

VenaSeal®

VenaSeal® is a non-invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It is the only non-thermal and non-tumescent procedure approved by the FDA. The system uses medical- grade adhesives to close superficial varicose veins. Since the procedure is non-thermal, it doesn’t produce any heat. It also doesn’t need any chemicals, sclerosants or cutting to treat the affected veins. VenaSeal® makes the procedure incredibly safe and almost entirely pain-free.

Closure Fast®

ClosureFast® is a medical procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to treat chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and varicose veins. This particular Closure treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that doctors use for precise, targeted treatment. When your veins or the valves in your veins can’t work correctly as they should, the treatment that makes the most sense is re-routing the blood flow. The ClosureFast® procedure involves using radiofrequency to collapse affected veins and redirect blood flow. The procedure begins when a vascular surgeon or vein specialist inserts the ClosureFast catheter into the affected vein. Usually, the catheter is inserted through a tiny incision made right below the knee for easy access. Read More ClosureFast® In Arizona

Ultrasound

Like conventional ultrasound imaging, vein ultrasound is a safe and painless procedure that uses sound waves to create images. It is a standard diagnostic procedure used all around the world to view internal organs like veins. In vein ultrasounds, doctors use a transducer or probe to transmit high-frequency sound waves. To help the sound waves pass through a special ultrasound gel is placed on the area that requires imaging. Vein ultrasounds capture in real-time. This means that they show the current movement or circulation of blood in the veins. This procedure is also called vein mapping. The procedure is completely non-invasive and painless. Furthermore, it doesn’t use ionizing radiations like x-rays, making the imaging process entirely safe for the patient. Read More About Ultrasound Treatment In Arizona

Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive treatment that employs the use of radiofrequency energy to treat and resolve the underlying cause of varicose veins. The goal of radiofrequency ablation is to collapse and shrink the diseased vein, resolving the venous disorder and restore blood flow. How Does Radiofrequency Ablation Work? Radiofrequency Ablations is typically performed on an outpatient basis, depending on the size of the varicose veins. A small tube (catheter) is inserted into the vein where electrodes deliver high-frequency energy to heat up the vein walls. As a result, the collagen in the vein wall contracts, causing the vein to collapse and close. Once the diseased vein is closed, blood flow will naturally redirect to nearby healthy veins. The surrounding tissues absorb the closed vein. Read More About Radiofrequency Ablation

Microphlebectomy

What Is Microphlebectomy? Not too long ago, invasive procedures and surgical removal of varicose veins were the only treatment options people had. However, further research and technological development have pushed treatment for vein disorders beyond that. Nowadays, minimally-invasive procedures such as microphlebectomy are commonly used. They are just as, if not more, effective in getting rid of the pesky veins. Also known as ambulatory phlebectomy, vein microphlebectomy is a procedure used to remove medium-sized varicose veins from your legs. The affected veins are removed in small sections by making tiny incisions in the skin. Usually, these incisions or nicks are 1-3 mm in length. They allow just enough room to remove varicose veins without requiring any sutures to close them up. While vein microphlebectomy can be used to remove smaller veins, it is not typically used to treat spider veins. Usually, vein microphlebectomy is supplemented with other vein treatments. Procedures like sclerotherapy and Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) are the most common ones. These help target smaller veins, producing optimal cosmetic results.

Lymphedema

Lymphedema Management Have you been experiencing strange swelling in different parts of your body? Perhaps it’s in your legs or your arms? If it occurs persistently, it could indicate a severe medical condition, such as lymphedema. Lymphatic obstruction or lymphedema is a long-term condition where excessive fluid build-up in tissues causes swelling in the body. If you have been suffering from chronic or prolonged swelling, you may be suffering from this condition. Read More About Lymphedema Management
