About Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, superficial veins that are seen on the surface of the skin, mostly located at the legs. It’s usually bluish or purple in color.  It’s a venous disease that can be extremely painful if not given the proper treatment.  People have varicose vein because of the poor functioning of the valve due to the increase back-pressure of the blood in the vein. It is very common to females and males as well. Most women who are pregnant or taking birth control pills are more likely to have these enlarged veins. Other people, due to inactivity may also develop varicose veins. To some, it could become painful and can cause cramping and throbbing in the legs as well as ulcers in rare cases. Long seating or standing could worsen the pain.

Varicose Vein Procedures at Elite Vein Specialists, Concord

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
EVLA or EndoLaser Vein System is an advanced technique that began in 2001. Unlike surface lasers which have several limitations, ELVeS literally heats the vessel from inside the vein. It is indicated for patients who have reverse blood flow (reflux) originating high in the leg at the sapheno-femoral junction.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy (AP)
This is an advanced technique of micro extraction of surface varicose veins. Unlike vein stripping, ambulatory phlebectomy utilizes special instruments and microincisions to extract undesired veins. It is performed by Dr. Hyde under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis with no required sutures. The incisions are so small that there is virtually no scarring.

Surface Sclerotherapy
Developed over 40 years ago in Europe, sclerotherapy at Elite Vein Specialists utilizes only FDA approved drugs to close undesired veins. It is a simple, nearly painless, vessel injection technique that causes vein closure.

Veinlite Sclerotherapy
When treating spider veins it is crucial to locate and close any and all feeder vessels. These are blue-green in color and are called reticular veins. If untreated, spider patches can often become subject to early recurrance. These feeder vessels can often originate 4-8 inches away from a zone of spiders.
