Got Vein Problems? We Can Help!
| Do your legs ache? Are they tired or restless? Do they swell or burn after standing for a period of time? Or maybe you just don’t like how they look? Now is the time to do something about it. Advances in modern laser technologies and vein therapy have made treatment of varicose and spider veins more effective than ever. Venous insufficiency is a serious medical issue; left untreated can cause significant medical complications. Most insurance companies will pay for treatment of symptomatic vein problems. |  |
Dr. Thomas Wright approaches vein problems in a comprehensive, step-by-step process. First, an examination to diagnose possible venous insufficiencies is using ultrasound mapping. If venous reflux of the saphenous vein is found, the vein is ablated using a procedure called Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT).

Endovenous Laser Treatment is a treatment alternative to surgical stripping of the greater saphenous vein. A small laser fiber is inserted, usually through a needle stick in the skin, into the damaged vein. Pulses of laser light are delivered inside the vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. The procedure is done in-office under local anesthesia. Following the procedure a bandage or compression hose is placed on the treated leg.
Dr Wright performs an EVLT/s of the underlying cause of the vein problems in a leg before proceeding to treat the smaller refluxing(dilated and leaking) veins down stream. Treating vein disease in this stepped approach allows for more effective and durable results.
