Minimally invasive, in-office procedures to permanently eliminate painful, bulging varicose veins — most patients walk out the same day. Most insurance accepted.
Request Free ConsultationVaricose veins are enlarged, twisted, rope-like veins that appear just beneath the skin's surface — most commonly on the legs and feet. They develop when the one-way valves inside your veins weaken or fail, causing blood to pool and pressure to build. This is known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
While varicose veins are often thought of as a cosmetic issue, they are a legitimate medical condition that can cause significant pain, swelling, heaviness, and fatigue — and if left untreated, can lead to serious complications including skin ulcers and blood clots (deep vein thrombosis).
Twisted, cord-like veins visible under the skin on the legs, thighs, or calves.
A dull, heavy aching in the legs — especially after prolonged standing or sitting.
Fluid buildup in the lower legs and ankles due to poor venous return.
Discoloration, hardening, or ulceration of the skin around the ankles.
An uncomfortable urge to move your legs — often worse at night.
Localized itching or burning sensation around the affected veins.
Dr. Smith will perform a comprehensive evaluation — including a duplex ultrasound — to assess the extent of your venous disease and create a personalized treatment plan. Depending on your anatomy and symptoms, one or more of the following treatments may be recommended:
Heat energy delivered via a thin catheter to permanently close the diseased saphenous vein. Learn more →
Injection of a sclerosing agent under ultrasound guidance to treat deeper varicose veins. Learn more →
Direct injection for surface-level varicose veins and reticular veins. Learn more →
Medical-grade compression stockings as a first-line conservative treatment, often required by insurance before procedures.
Dr. Smith will review your symptoms, medical history, and examine your legs to determine if your symptoms are likely vein related.
A comprehensive ultrasound maps your vein anatomy, identifies areas of reflux (backward blood flow), and guides the treatment plan.
Our team works with your insurance provider to verify benefits and obtain any necessary prior authorizations before your procedure.
Most procedures take less than 30 minutes and are performed right here in our Georgetown office under local anesthesia — no hospital visit required.
Patients typically walk out immediately after treatment and return to normal daily activities the same day. Compression stockings are worn for a short period post-treatment.
Dr. Smith will schedule follow-up ultrasound appointments to confirm treatment success and monitor your recovery.
