Recent advances in venous ultrasound and
surgical techniques now allow treatment
of most varicose veins through very small
incisions that do not require stitches and
provide cosmetically acceptable results
(in other words...no scars). A duplex ultrasound
examination is done before treatment is
begun, and this provides an accurate venous
map, allowing precise treatment to be directed
at only the diseased veins. In this way,
treatment is tailored to the specific needs
of each individual patient. There is no
'one procedure fits all' approach. All of
our treatments are done in a pleasant office
setting using only mild, if any, sedation
and local anesthesia. The patient is up
and about immediately after the surgery
with no need to 'take it easy' or 'stay
off your feet.' The patient is encouraged
to walk as much as possible right after
the surgery. Driving and working can be
resumed the very next day. Strenuous exercise
is usually limited for a short time.
Vein Specialists of North Texas specializes
in the treatment of varicose veins and spider
veins in a pleasant, convenient, out-patient

surgical and non-surgical techniques to
treat vein disease. The advanced medical
procedures we offer eliminate the pain,
suffering and embarrassment associated with
varicose vein disease. All procedures are
generally completed in our office using
local
anesthetic and state-of- the-art, minimally
invasive techniques.
Varicose veins cause troublesome symptoms
such as leg pain, aching, itching, throbbing,
fatigue, swelling, nighttime muscle cramps
, and even Restless Leg Syndrome. Varicose
veins always worsen over time. Untreated,
varicose vein disease can lead to complications
such as blood clots (phlebitis), infections,
bleeding, and ulcerations in the skin. These
complications are completely preventable
with effective treatment.
Unfortunately, countless patients are told
by their doctors every day that nothing
can be done for their vein problems, and
they are forced to suffer needlessly for
months or years. In actual fact, even patients
with very severe vein disease and ulcerations
can be effectively treated. No one need
suffer from untreated varicose vein disease
anymore.
