Multi-step process: First, an ultrasound is performed to assess for venous insufficiency which leads to varicose veins. Once such veins are identified, if they are amenable to treatment with endovenous ablation (laser, radiofrequency, ?Pharmacomechanical) such a procedure is performed. Finally, the varicosities are dealt with via phlebectomy or sclerotherapy. Actually, most insurance carriers and medicare cover this.

Often a combination: Treatment often starts with compression.Depending on the size and location of your varicose veins, you could have an endovenous thermal ablation procedure or an operation.You might also have sclerotherapy and/or phlebectomy might be recommended to you. See a vein specialist who can do an ultrasound evaluation of your veins and then decide what is the best way for your varicose veins to be treated.
