Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic concern. For many people they’re a daily source of pain and discomfort. Thankfully there are a number of safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment options available to alleviate the aching, swelling and unsightliness of varicose veins, and Mount Carmel has a team of experienced vascular physicians to provide them.
Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is a simple, inexpensive therapy that is typically the first approach in varicose vein treatment. It involves wearing specially fitted hose that can reduce the pooling of blood that causes varicose veins. While compression therapy will not eliminate varicose veins, it can help alleviate many of the symptoms.
Sclerotherapy
During outpatient schlerotherapy, a tiny needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein. In response, the veins collapse, are reabsorbed and are no longer visible.
Radio Frequency Ablation
Radio frequency ablation is an outpatient procedure that utilizes ultrasound to position a catheter in the diseased vein through a small opening in the skin. Heat is then delivered through the catheter to the vein wall, causing the wall to shrink, the vein to close, and the blood to be rerouted to other healthy veins.
Transilluminated Powered Phlebectomy (TriVex™ System)
The TriVex™ System is a patented, clinically tested procedure that provides an effective and less invasive approach to treating varicose veins. It's an approach by which varicose veins are surgically removed using a new procedure called Transilluminated Powered Phlebotomy. This approach requires fewer incisions, and results in less pain and recurrence than traditional vein removal.
