Varicose veins are enlarged, bulging veins that often appear blue or purple in color. They typically develop in the legs and can cause discomfort, pain, and aching. Factors like genetics, prolonged sitting or standing, and increased blood pressure can contribute to the development of varicose veins. Contrary to popular belief, these problematic veins are not limited to older adults. Individuals as young as 30 can experience varicose veins.

​

Spider veins are smaller, web-like clusters of veins that often appear on the surface of the skin. They are usually red or blue and are more visible on the legs and face. While they are generally not painful, they can be a cosmetic concern for many. Spider veins may be the result of various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and hot weather. In some cases, spider veins can also be symptomatic of chronic venous insufficiency, so it’s better to get diagnosed.

Chronic venous insufficiency is a medical condition caused by the collapse or malfunctioning of vein valves. In healthy veins, the valves act as one-way doors that allow blood to flow toward the heart but not backward. When the vein valves weaken or malfunction due to lifestyle factors, genetics, or pregnancy, gravity forces blood to flow backward and accumulate in the leg veins. The continued accumulation of blood in leg veins leads to spider veins and varicose veins.

At California Vein Treatment, we specialize in providing effective solutions for varicose and spider veins. Our focus is on minimally invasive procedures that offer remarkable results with minimal discomfort and downtime. We believe in diagnosing and treating the root cause of spider veins and varicose veins, and not just the visible symptoms.

We understand that each patient is unique, and so are their vein concerns. That’s why we start by diagnosing the root cause of your vein issues. Our comprehensive approach includes using advanced duplex ultrasound technology to assess the condition of your veins. Duplex ultrasound is a test that involves using ultrasound energy to visualize the direction of blood flow in the leg veins, which allows us to identify venous insufficiency. This ensures that we tailor a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

Gone are the days of invasive surgeries for vein problems. At California Vein Treatment, we offer a range of minimally invasive procedures, including:

• Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special solution into the affected veins to cause them to collapse and eventually fade away. This is highly effective for both spider and smaller varicose veins, but it can’t treat underlying vein disease.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): EVLA uses laser energy to close off varicose veins from the inside. It’s a precise and minimally invasive technique that offers quick relief. EVLA is suitable for the treatment of varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RFA uses radiofrequency energy to heat and seal problematic veins. This procedure is particularly effective for larger varicose veins and underlying vein disease. It’s even more comfortable than laser ablation.
• VenaSeal: VenaSeal is a cutting-edge adhesive closure system that seals the damaged vein, effectively redirecting blood flow through healthier veins. The vein doctor injects a medical-grade adhesive into the diseased vein to seal its walls shut, turning it into a hardened tissue eventually metabolized by the body. The risk of nerve injury and complications are minimal.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy: This procedure involves the removal of larger varicose veins through tiny incisions. It’s a minimally invasive alternative to traditional vein stripping. However, while ambulatory phlebectomy can remove superficial varicose veins, it can’t treat underlying vein disease, so it’s recommended after the primary vein treatments.

Our medical centers for vein treatment are led by board-certified vein doctors who have extensive experience in the field of venous health. We hand-pick our vein doctors from advanced residency programs and fellowships, ensuring they have specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of vein conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Furthermore, board certification guarantees that our vein doctors stay abreast of the latest developments in vein care, so you always receive cutting-edge treatments.
