Advanced minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins and venous insufficiency using state-of-the-art thermal and non-thermal ablation techniques
Vein ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thermal or chemical energy to close off problematic veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels and eliminating symptoms of venous insufficiency.
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when the valves in your leg veins don't work properly, causing blood to pool in the lower extremities. This can lead to varicose veins, leg swelling, skin changes, and painful ulcers that significantly impact quality of life.
Traditional vein stripping surgery required general anesthesia, hospitalization, and lengthy recovery periods. Modern vein ablation techniques offer a superior alternative, performed in-office under local anesthesia with immediate return to normal activities.
At Heritage Wound Care, we utilize the latest radiofrequency and laser ablation technologies to provide safe, effective treatment with minimal discomfort and exceptional cosmetic outcomes.
Treatment Success Rates
Clinical studies show vein ablation procedures have success rates exceeding 95%, with most patients experiencing immediate symptom relief and long-term improvement in venous circulation.
Enlarged, twisted veins visible beneath the skin causing aching, heaviness, and cosmetic concerns
Faulty vein valves causing blood pooling, leg swelling, skin discoloration, and venous ulcers
Small, web-like veins near the skin surface often associated with underlying venous reflux
Chronic leg heaviness, cramping, and edema resulting from poor venous circulation
Chronic wounds on the lower leg caused by sustained venous hypertension and poor drainage
Brown or red staining of the lower legs (stasis dermatitis) from chronic venous disease
We offer multiple advanced ablation methods tailored to your specific condition and preferences
Gold Standard Treatment
Uses controlled radiofrequency energy to heat and collapse diseased veins from the inside. The ClosureFast™ system delivers consistent, uniform heat to the vein wall, causing immediate collagen contraction and vein closure.
Procedure Time: 30-45 minutes per leg
Proven Alternative Technique
Employs laser energy delivered through a thin fiber to seal problematic veins. Modern wavelengths (1470nm) provide enhanced absorption in the vein wall with reduced patient discomfort.
Procedure Time: 45-60 minutes per leg
Non-Thermal Chemical Ablation
Injection of a sclerosant solution that irritates the vein lining, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Particularly effective for spider veins and smaller varicose veins not suitable for thermal ablation.
Procedure Time: 15-30 minutes per session
Latest Innovation in Vein Treatment
Uses a medical adhesive to seal diseased veins without heat or multiple injections. The only non-thermal, non-tumescent, non-sclerosant method requiring minimal anesthesia.
Procedure Time: 20-30 minutes per leg
