VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENTS
Baltimore Vascular Care offers personal, individualized care for patients with vein disease utilizing a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to treat aesthetic and therapeutic problems. Vein conditions and their treatments are often more complex than they appear. Beyond obvious leg swelling or varicose veins, symptoms may include aching, cramping, heaviness, tired or restless legs, itching, tingling, and burning, as well as skin changes, scaly rashes, and slow or non-healing wounds.
Sclerotherapy
In sclerotherapy, a tiny needle is used to inject the veins with a medication that irritates the lining of the vein. Over a short time, the vein closes in response to the irritation and is reabsorbed. The blood from the closed vein is routed to properly working veins, restoring correct circulation and improving overall appearance.
Microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive technique used to remove unsightly or painful bulging leg veins. It is the recommended treatment for large surface varicose veins. Removal of these veins with microphlebectomy often results in quicker healing, less pain, and a better cosmetic outcome than other treatments. Performed through tiny nicks in the skin, microphlebectomy is far less invasive than surgical stripping. Recovery is more rapid, and most patients do not need to interrupt regular activity after microphlebectomy.
