Conditions we treat at VEINatlanta include:
If you do, then VEINatlanta can help solve your problems. The key is to understand the cause of venous disease: venous reflux, also called chronic venous insufficiency.
In most cases, venous reflux treatment is covered by insurance. Coverage is ultimately determined by the insurance carrier policies, the finding of the ultrasound examination, the patient history, and physical examination.
All treatments at VEINatlanta are done in the office using local anesthesia. Expect for the pinch of the fine needle used to numb the skin, there is no pain or discomfort. Post procedure pain medication is rarely necessary.
Walking is encouraged after treatment. Normal daily activities can be resumed the same day. Light exercise can be resumed in 3 days, and strenuous exercise in 7-10 days.
Most symptoms resolve within a few days to weeks after radiofrequency ablation, also known as radiofrequency closure. The tiny incisions of ambulatory micro-phlebectomy heal over a few weeks. Spider veins can take several weeks to months to fade away.
