Vein Treatments:

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): of the saphenous vein is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat varicose veins caused by venous insufficiency. The problematic saphenous vein is located using ultrasound. A small amount of anesthetic is injected around the vein. A thin catheter is inserted into the vein through a small puncture. Heat is delivered through the catheter, causing the vein wall to collapse and seal shut. This is to treat the diseased great saphenous vein (GSV), which runs from the ankle to the groin, and the small saphenous vein (SSV), which runs from the outer ankle up the back of the calf to behind the knee.

Varithena Foam Injection (Polidocanol)

Varithena® foam injection is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins and venous insufficiency in the legs. It uses a specialized prescription microfoam to close or shrink diseased superficial veins, such as the great saphenous vein (GSV) and its branches. Varithena is a low-nitrogen, polidocanol-based foam that acts as a sclerosant — a medication that irritates the vein wall, causing the vein to collapse and be absorbed by the body over time. It’s FDA-approved for treating incompetent saphenous veins, accessory saphenous veins, and visible varicosities.

Wound Care with Stem Cell Technology

Wound care: with stem cell technology is an advanced medical approach that uses stem cells or stem cell-derived products to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and regenerate damaged tissues in chronic or difficult-to-heal wounds. This therapy is especially promising for: Venous leg ulcers. Applied directly to the wound bed to deliver growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular matrix for regeneration

Compression Stockings

Compression stockings: are specialized elastic garments worn on the legs to help improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and prevent vein-related conditions. They are commonly used in the treatment and prevention of varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Compression stockings apply graduated pressure to the legs — tighter at the ankles and gradually looser toward the thighs. Compression stockings push blood back up toward the heart, preventing blood from pooling in the veins and reducing leg fatigue and swelling.

Compression Pump

Compression pump: also known as an intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device or lymphedema pump, is a medical device designed to improve blood and lymphatic flow in the limbs by applying controlled pressure sequentially or intermittently. The device consists of a pump unit connected to inflatable sleeves or boots that wrap around the legs (or arms). The pump inflates and deflates the sleeves in cycles, mimicking natural muscle contractions. This helps push blood or lymph fluid out of the limbs and back toward the heart or central circulation. Reduces swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup.

Trial for GLP-1 to Benefit Lymphedema

GLP-1 stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, which is a natural hormone made in your gut. It plays an important role in controlling blood sugar, appetite, and digestion.
