Varithena®
Varithena is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided foam treatment for varicose veins and incompetent saphenous veins. Performed in-office without surgery, the microfoam collapses the treated vein so blood redirects to healthier vessels—often in a single session with little downtime.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a safe and virtually painless in-office treatment to remove unsightly varicose and spider veins (telangiectasias). A solution is injected into the vein causing it to gradually disappear over several weeks.

Laser Therapy (ELAS)
The ELAS procedure (Endoluminal Ablation of the Saphenous vein) is an ultrasound-guided therapy which utilizes a very thin laser fiber to close down and seal the greater saphenous vein, causing them to disappear.
