Larger varicose veins can be treated with a state-of-the-art European technique called ambulatory phlebectomy. In this procedure, veins can be removed through a series of tiny incisions in the skin.

What is the recovery time like?
Ambulatory Phlebectomy can be done in approximately one hour on an outpatient basis. This procedure offers a recovery period of a day or two with a leg wrap the patient wears for about a week. The procedure leaves tiny marks, no larger than a needle point, which often fade over time. The complication rate of Ambulatory Phlebectomy is very low, in only 5 percent of cases, bruising, lumpiness and pigmentation may occur, and even then are temporary.

Is Ambulatory Phlebectomy Painful?
We use tumescent anesthesia for a pain-free procedure.
