Los Angeles Vein Treatment Services

Looking for a vein treatment center to get rid of varicose veins or spider veins in the Los Angeles, CA area? If so, Varicose Vein Surgeons of Glendale, CA is your answer, offering numerous options for varicose vein treatment, spider vein treatment, and treatment of other vein conditions. For decades, invasive vein surgery ('stripping') was the primary option to get rid of varicose veins. Now there are safe, effective minimally-invasive procedures like EVLT and sclerotherapy, that are performed in the office under local anesthesia and provide exceptional results.

Visit our Los Angeles vein treatment center for a consultation, and our vein doctors will personally assess your vein condition and prescribe the appropriate vein treatment option.

Spider Vein Treatment & Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Our Los Angeles vein treatment center leverages leading-edge technology to treat venous disease, including duplex ultrasound, EVLT and sclerotherapy.

Duplex ultrasound
Non-invasive and painless, ultrasound allows the physician to visualize your veins and the blood flow within them. Doing this, they can determine the extent of any disease and prescribe an appropriate vein treatment option.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the gold standard for treatment of spider veins. It involves injection of a chemical solution directly into the vein to shut it down permanently. The closed vein is eventually absorbed into the body. Multiple sclerotherapy treatments are common to achieve full clearance of all veins.

Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Deeper veins below the skin surface (and not visible) can be addressed using duplex ultrasound during sclerotherapy to visualize placement of the needle and entry into the vein. This technique is commonly used along with 'Foam' sclerotherapy agents, where air is mixed in with the chemical to increase its effectiveness and visibility.

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT®)

EVLT can get rid of varicose veins that previously could only be treated with vein surgery. It is a minimally-invasive procedure using a laser fiber inserted directly into the vein. EVLT is performed in the office under local anesthesia, and usually in less than 45 minutes. It involves little to no pain, and most patients are back to normal activities the next day.

VNUS Closure®

Varicose Vein Surgeons also offers the other major, minimally-invasive varicose vein treatment: the VNUS Closure procedure (also known as RF Closure or radiofrequency closure). With RF Closure, a small radiofrequency catheter is used instead of a laser fiber, directing gentle RF energy into the vein wall to cause collagen to shrink and the vein to close. The VNUS Closure procedure is also performed in the office and has been shown in studies to have reduced levels of pain and bruising. Patients are usually able to resume normal activities the next day.
