Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins visible under the skin that can cause discomfort, heaviness, and pain. At Oceana Vein Specialists, located in Oceanside, CA, we specialize in comprehensive treatment options to relieve pain and improve vein health. Whether you seek relief from pain or want to enhance the appearance of your legs, we offer the latest minimally invasive procedures to meet your needs. Our main focus is eliminating your symptoms with an outstanding cosmetic result.

Varicose vein treatment of the legs starts with an ultrasound examination to evaluate the extent of venous disease and to create a comprehensive treatment plan. Dr. Adam Isadore Performs all diagnostic ultrasound examinations and creates a varicose vein treatment plan in real time. Varicose vein treatment usually involves addressing the root cause of the issue, with closure of the larger feeding veins that contribute to varicose veins.

Diagnostic Ultrasound Performed by Dr. Adam Isadore

Before determining the best treatment for varicose veins, an accurate diagnosis is critical. At Oceana Vein Specialists, Dr. Adam Isadore performs a comprehensive diagnostic ultrasound to assess blood flow in the legs and identify areas of venous insufficiency. This non-invasive imaging test takes about 30 minutes, and allows Dr. Isadore to detect faulty valves and determine the severity of varicose veins. The ultrasound results help guide the most effective treatment plan, ensuring precise and personalized care for each patient. Typically this ultrasound is performed at your first office visit, so a comprehensive treatment plan can be created.

Conservative Measures for Varicose Vein Relief

For many patients, initial treatment starts with conservative measures designed to improve circulation and reduce symptoms before more advanced interventions. Many patient have already taken these conservative measures before we even see them in our office. These methods include:

Compression Stockings: These specially fitted stockings gently squeeze the legs, enhancing circulation and preventing blood from pooling in the veins. Compression therapy can alleviate swelling, discomfort, and the sensation of heaviness that is commonly associated with varicose veins.
Leg Elevation: Elevating your legs above the level of your heart promotes better blood flow back to the heart and can reduce swelling and discomfort. This is an easy and effective way to relieve symptoms, especially after long periods of standing or sitting.
Lifestyle Adjustments: Exercise, weight management, and other healthy habits can significantly improve your vein health. Simple changes like avoiding prolonged sitting or standing can make a big difference in how your legs feel.

These conservative approaches are often effective in alleviating symptoms and may delay the need for procedural treatments, improving overall vein health.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Definitive treatment of varicose veins starts with closing the larger refluxing vein that is responsible, typically the great saphenous vein or the small saphenous vein. Oceana Vein Specialists offers Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), one of the most advanced and effective treatments for varicose veins.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): This minimally invasive treatment uses radiofrequency energy to collapse and seal off the affected vein. The body redirects blood flow to healthier veins, and over time, the closed vein is absorbed naturally. RFA is an outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime, allowing patients to return to their regular activities quickly.

RFA is a minimally invasive, highly effective treatment with minimal recovery time.

Foam Sclerotherapy

Foam Sclerotherapy is a great option for smaller varicose veins or spider veins. After the larger refluxing saphenous vein is closed with the radiofrequency ablation procedure, the smaller branching varicose veins need to be addressed. Foam Sclerotherapy involves injecting a foam solution into the affected vein. The foam displaces the blood in the vein, causing it to collapse. The body then absorbs the closed vein over time, rerouting blood to healthier veins.

Foam sclerotherapy is a quick, outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time, making it a popular choice for patients.

Microphlebectomy

For larger varicose veins, Microphlebectomy is an ideal treatment that gives incredible cosmetic results. This minimally invasive procedure involves making tiny incisions to remove the problematic veins. The incisions are small enough that scarring is minimal or non-existent and no stitches are needed. Microphlebectomy is performed under local anesthesia, and recovery is quick, with patients returning to normal activity the next day.

This procedure is typically recommended for larger veins that may not respond well to foam sclerotherapy. Patients experience significant relief from pain, swelling, and heaviness after treatment.
