Varicose Vein Frequently Asked Questions

Are current treatments for varicose veins really better than the traditional stripping procedures?

Absolutely! Current techniques such as endoluminal ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, and SEPS (Subfacial Endoscopic Perforator Surgery) have eliminated the need for Vein stripping procedures and have reduced recovery time from 4-6 weeks down to 7-10 days. Post procedure bruising and pain have diminished greatly as well and most people are able to return to fairly normal activities the day after the procedure.
