What Causes Vein Problems?
Vein problems often develop due to a combination of lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors. One of the most common causes is the weakening or damage of vein valves, which are responsible for keeping blood flowing in the right direction. When these valves fail to function properly, blood can pool in the veins, leading to varicose veins or spider veins. Other contributing factors may include prolonged periods of standing or sitting, obesity, pregnancy, and hormonal changes, all of which can put extra pressure on the veins. Additionally, a family history of vein issues or age-related changes in vein elasticity can increase the likelihood of developing problems.
The Vein Treatment Options We Offer
Arizona Vein and Laser Institute offers a wide range of comprehensive vein and vascular treatment options at our Phoenix Metro facilities. The treatment options we offer include:
Vascular Ultrasound
We utilize advanced vascular ultrasound technology to comprehensively view your circulatory system. This cutting-edge imaging allows us to accurately identify blood clots, blockages, and other underlying causes of symptoms such as swelling, ensuring a precise diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Vascular Surgery
If surgery becomes necessary in your care, our skilled team is prepared to perform vascular procedures in a convenient outpatient setting. We're focused on minimizing disruption to your daily life while delivering expert care.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for treating small spider veins and varicose veins. This procedure involves administering a safe solution, often saline, directly into the affected veins. The solution causes the veins to seal, clot, and gradually transform into scar tissue that naturally fades away, improving both appearance and comfort.
Phlebectomy
Also known as vein stripping, phlebectomy is a highly effective treatment for veins that have not responded to other methods. This procedure enhances the cosmetic appearance and the functionality of your circulatory system, helping you feel and look your best.
Varicose Vein Treatment
Varicose veins may present with symptoms such as swelling, pain, and skin discoloration. Common contributing factors include aging and genetics. Among the most common procedures are endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
EVLT Treatment
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is one of the most effective, minimally invasive treatments we provide. This safe and simple procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete and delivers exceptional results with little downtime, making it one of our top recommendations.
Conservative Management
For some patients, conservative care may involve wearing medical-grade compression stockings for a prescribed three-month period. These stockings are designed to alleviate symptoms and improve circulation, offering a supportive and non-invasive solution to your vein-related concerns.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis is caused by the formation of blood clots in the deeper veins, most commonly in the legs. Anticoagulant medications, or blood thinners, are typically prescribed as the first line of defense to prevent clot progression and reduce the risk of further complications. For larger or more dangerous clots, thrombolysis, a minimally invasive procedure to dissolve clots using catheter-directed therapy, may be recommended.
Spider Vein Treatment
Spider veins, those small red, blue, or purple veins visible beneath the surface of the skin, are often a cosmetic concern but can sometimes signal underlying vein problems. These veins can be successfully treated through sclerotherapy, which remains the "gold standard" for spider vein treatment.
Deciding on the Right Vein Treatment
Choosing the right treatment for your vein condition depends on the severity of your symptoms, overall health, and personal goals. Consulting with our qualified vein specialists is essential to ensure an accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan. Comprehensive vein evaluation often involves diagnostic tools such as ultrasounds to assess blood flow and identify problematic veins.
The good news is that most vein treatments today are non-invasive or minimally invasive, with minimal downtime and excellent success rates. This makes it easier than ever to address your vein health without disrupting your daily life.
