Vein Treatments in Woodbury, MN

Conservative Therapy

Conservative therapies are steps like lifestyle changes and compression stockings that can improve blood flow in the legs and reduce discomfort from varicose veins. You might be asked to begin with these non-invasive strategies before insurance approves treatment, but they can also be helpful on their own, and we often recommend them alongside our other treatments.

Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation (EVRF)

Endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF) uses heat to close problem veins and help restore healthy blood flow. Most patients walk out the same day and get back to normal activities with little or no downtime. Mild bruising or temporary soreness is expected but usually fades within a few days. We often use EVRF to treat larger varicose veins in the saphenous system, including those above and below the knee.

VenaSeal

VenaSeal™ is a minimally invasive way to treat vein disease with fewer steps and a simpler recovery. It does not require multiple injections or compression stockings afterward. The procedure involves placing a tiny amount of medical adhesive inside the affected vein, which helps reroute blood flow without the need for heat.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

Ambulatory phlebectomy removes varicose veins through tiny incisions. We use a procedure called ambulatory phlebectomy to remove surface-level varicose veins through tiny incisions made with a needle or scalpel. The vein is pulled out in small sections, and the openings are so small that no stitches are required. We perform this treatment using local anesthesia, and our team provides attentive care throughout this minor surgery, with most appointments completed in under an hour. Because the entire vein is removed, there is no need for follow-up treatment in the same area.

Varithena

Varithena® is a non-surgical treatment that takes place in the office and usually requires no downtime afterward. The doctor injects the foam medication directly into the affected vein, without making any cuts or using general anesthesia. The foam causes the vein to collapse, and then the body gradually dissolves and removes the old vein. Patients walk out shortly after the appointment and resume normal activity.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution to collapse unwanted veins. During sclerotherapy, we inject a specialized solution into unwanted veins. The solution irritates the lining of the veins and causes them to collapse and gradually fade from view. The treatment is often recommended for spider veins and smaller varicose veins that are close to the surface. Most sessions take less than 30 minutes, and the results develop in the following weeks as the treated veins are reabsorbed.
