Varicose Veins: Get The Facts

Varicose vein disease is a common condition affecting nearly 25% of women and 10% of men. Many people are unaware that it is a true medical issue, which compromises patients’ lifestyles and can progress to severe dermatological inflammation, stasis eczema, ulceration and infection if left untreated. Typical symptoms may include twisted, bulging leg veins, pain or restless legs, leg heaviness and aching, hyperpigmentation and ulceration.

Treatments offered at the Vein Treatment Center include EVLT® (EndoVenous Laser Treatment), ambulatory phebectomy and sclerotherapy. Patients will need a venous ultrasound to determine which procedure or combination of procedures they will need for adequate treatment.

All treatments offered at the Vein Treatment center are performed in the office, under local anesthetic and patients walk out in about an hour. Unlike many other vein centers in Houston, our vascular surgeons focus solely on varicose veins. Please give us a call or visit our website to learn more about our practice.
