State-of-the-Art Vein Treatment in Atlanta

How Are Vein Diseases Diagnosed?

It is important to diagnose vein disease as soon as abnormalities are detected. Untreated vein disease can eventually lead to significant health complications.

Vein diseases can cause significant, progressive symptoms, including pain, swelling, and skin discoloration. In some cases, untreated vein disease can lead to blood clots, ulcers, and other serious complications. Early diagnosis of vein disease can help prevent these complications and provide options for vein treatment in Atlanta to address the underlying cause of the problem.

Vein diseases are typically diagnosed through a physical exam and ultrasound. The physical exam looks for any visible signs of varicose or spider veins, while ultrasounds can show the abnormal flow of blood through the veins. This allows the doctor to any abnormalities of the venous system.

Minimally Invasive Vein Treatment Options

At Georgia Endovascular, Dr. Kevin Lie will explain your ultrasound results and help you understand your prognosis. Next, he will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs. This plan may include lifestyle changes, medications, or a vein treatment.

We offer several minimally invasive treatments including

• Cosmetic Sclerotherapy
  Cosmetic Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical treatment modality for spider veins and small varicose veins. The procedure involves injecting a solution into the afflicted veins, resulting in the veins collapsing and eventually fading.
• Ultrasound-guided Foam Sclerotherapy
  Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy is used to treat varicose veins. It involves injecting a special foam solution into the abnormal, dilated veins so that they close down and go away.
• Spider Vein Treatment
  Spider veins are clusters of dilated blood vessels that are visible on the skin and usually mimic the pattern of a spider web. At Georgia Endovascular, we proudly offer multiple treatment options for spider veins, including sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and others.
• Radiofrequency Ablation
  Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to treat the cause of varicose veins. During the procedure, a small catheter is inserted through the skin into the vein causing the abnormal backwards flow and varicose veins. Radiofrequency energy is then transmitted through the catheter, damaging the inner lining and causing the vein to close.
• Radiofrequency Perforator Ablation
  Perforator ablation utilizes radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal perforator veins. Dysfunctional perforator veins can lead to vein disorders such as chronic leg ulcers and other complications. This procedure provides long-term relief and is minimally invasive.
• Ambulatory Phlebectomy
  Ambulatory phlebectomy is an outpatient method for treating varicose veins. During the treatment, small incisions are made in the skin, and a device is used to remove the bulging, tortuous varicose veins. This procedure is done under local anesthesia.
• Ultrasound Vein Evaluation
  Ultrasound technology is a valuable tool for diagnosing vein disorders because it is a non-invasive way to produce highly detailed images that can be used to detect a number of venous diseases and conditions.
• Varicocele Embolization
  Varicoceles are enlarged veins in the scrotum that are typically asymptomatic but can lead to pain and discomfort in some cases. Varicocele embolization is a non-surgical procedure in which a catheter is inserted to redirect blood flow, potentially relieve symptoms, and address any fertility concerns.

Why Compression Stockings Are an Aftercare Must

Once you have completed your personalized treatment plan, you will be prescribed post-treatment compression stockings.

These stockings are essential for several reasons, including

• Promoting healthy circulation
• Reducing post-treatment swelling and edema
• Preventing blood clots
• Minimizing discomfort and pain
• Aiding in healing and recovery
• Preventing recurrence of vein-related issues

Compression level and duration of wear vary from person to person. Your doctor will consider several factors including your

• Specific vein condition and its severity
• Type of treatment received
• Individual health factors
