Varicose Vein treatments available include laser ablation.  At Vein Specialists of Augusta, we perform endovenous laser ablation using the TVS1470 laser system.

The standard approach to treating a varicose vein is to destroy the damaged, bulging vein. Once the vein is no longer functional, the body adapts by rerouting the blood flow through other nearby veins. This eliminates problematic symptoms, improves quality of life, and enhances the appearance.

There are several Vein treatment options for varicose veins. Usually only treatment session is necessary, and the treatment takes beteen one to two hours on average. Depending on the selected approach, you may be able to resume normal activities immediately afterward or within a few days of treatment. At our practice, we offer the following treatment options for varicose veins:

  • VenaSeal™: A medical adhesive is injected into the varicose vein. This causes the vein to seal itself closed.
  • ClosureFast™ Radiofrequency energy ablates the walls of the varicose vein, causing it to close.
  • 1470 Laser Ablation Therapy (EVLA): A small laser cauterizes the varicose vein so that it collapses closed.
  • Ambulatory phlebectomy : Ambulatory phlebectomy is a micro-extraction procedure that removes varicosities through tiny incisions without the need for surgical stitches
