Varicose Vein Therapy

Painful varicose veins can now be
treated with outpatient convenience.

Varicose veins affect approximately 30% of the U.S. population, with 70% being female and 30% being male. Varicose and spider veins are not just a cosmetic problem, but can cause a variety of symptoms including aching fatigue, heaviness, burning, throbbing, itching, cramping, and swelling, as well as ulceration. The causes of varicose veins include heredity, pregnancy, obesity, prolonged standing and hormonal influences. Varicose veins are those superficial veins that have become enlarged and have lost their ability to effectively transport blood. 90% of all blood volume is carried by the deep system and the normal channels. If the blood doesn’t flow efficiently, the veins become enlarged because they are congested with blood. They appear distended and ropy looking. Left untreated, severe varicose veins can lead to chronic swelling, skin color changes, eczema type symptoms and finally to ulcerations that will not heal until the veins are taken care of. “Once I realized that a varicose vein will not go back to normal, I knew it was time to get this taken care of…and right away!”
Treatment for vein problems have advanced dramatically over the past 5 years. Dr. de Bourbon uses only state-of-the-art, proven therapies in treating veins. These include laser closure of large veins, injection therapy and minimally invasive surgical treatments. These can be performed in the office under local anesthesia with little or no discomfort.
Dr. de bourbon uses a state-of-the-art laser to close down problem veins right in the office. The treatment area is made numb with local anesthesia and then safe, effective laser energy is delivered into the vein wall causing it to collapse and seal shut. Once the abnormal vein is sealed, normal veins take over and redirect the blood flow. Best of all, this procedure requires few or no stitches and offers minimal or no scarring. Patients can walk out of the office after treatment and resume normal activities in just a few days.

Preoperative Investigation A history and physical by Dr. de Bourbon is used initially to assess the problem and possible etiologies. This is then usually supplemented by a state-of-the-art venous ultrasound examination that provides a detailed "road map" of the superficial and deep veins in the lower extremity to aid in planning the best course of treatment.
