Varicose Veins and Treatment Guide

Comprehensive Care for Varicose Veins at South Florida Multi-Specialty Group

At South Florida Multi-Specialty Group, we specialize in diagnosing and treating varicose veins and related vascular conditions. Our team of board-certified vascular surgeons uses state-of-the-art technology and personalized treatment plans to address varicose veins, helping patients improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance their quality of life.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear blue or dark purple on the surface of the skin. They occur when the valves in the veins become weakened or damaged, allowing blood to pool instead of flowing smoothly back to the heart. Varicose veins most commonly occur in the legs and feet, where the force of gravity makes it more difficult for blood to return to the heart.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins:

Types of Vein Treatment Available

At South Florida Multi-Specialty Group, we offer a wide range of treatments for varicose veins, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our goal is to provide minimally invasive options that result in faster recovery and optimal results.

Surgical Options

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

A minor surgical procedure used to remove large surface varicose veins through tiny incisions. It is performed under local anesthesia and has minimal downtime.

Vein Stripping and Ligation

For more severe cases, a traditional surgical approach may be necessary to remove the damaged vein and prevent further complications.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Compression Therapy

Compression stockings can help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms. This is often the first line of treatment for mild to moderate varicose veins.

Sclerotherapy

A procedure where a medical solution is injected into small or medium-sized varicose veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. This treatment is also effective for spider veins.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

A minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close off damaged veins. This reduces symptoms and improves appearance without the need for surgery.

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

A laser is used to seal off larger varicose veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This method is effective in treating more severe cases of varicose veins.

Conservative Care

Lifestyle Modifications

Our specialists will guide you on lifestyle changes such as weight management, exercise, and elevating your legs to reduce symptoms and prevent the worsening of varicose veins.

Physical Therapy and Exercise

Low-impact exercises like walking and swimming can improve blood flow and reduce the severity of varicose veins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varicose veins are caused by weakened or damaged valves in the veins that lead to poor circulation. Factors such as age, genetics, obesity, pregnancy, and prolonged standing or sitting can increase the risk.

You can prevent varicose veins from worsening by maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, elevating your legs, wearing compression stockings, and avoiding long periods of standing or sitting.
