Procedures

Small spider veins are treated with sclerotherapy (injection of a chemical sclerosant to close the vein). Typically, the treatment plan can be decided after a consultation and physical exam. This is a cosmetic procedure and not covered by insurance. Large varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency are treated with an outpatient endovenous laser procedure (EVLT – EndoVenous Laser Therapy) to close the greater saphenous vein. Smaller varicose veins are treated with foam sclerotherapy. This procedure involves injection of a chemical foam sclerosant into the vein, and results in closure of the vein. Prior to having EVLT or foam sclerotherapy, patients typically undergo an ultrasound procedure to study the vein anatomy and assess the function of the venous valves. EVLT and foam sclerotherapy are covered by Medicare and most PPO insurance plans. Our physicians, David Kawanishi, M.D., and Arthur Lourssararian, M.D., can answer any questions you may have.
