In the past, treatment for large, painful varicose veins could require surgery, which might lead to pain and scarring. Today, however, most procedures can be done in the clinic setting. “We offer relatively new therapies, including endovenous laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy, that are minimally invasive and performed as outpatient procedures right here in our Vein Clinic,” says Dr. Ian Stines. Treatment for varicose veins not only improves appearance of the legs but can make a real difference in the way patients feel.
