Varicose Vein Removal Treatments: Safe, Effective, and Minimally Invasive Options
Having veins that bulge, twist, and protrude from the skin surface can make many people feel uncomfortable showing their legs. Beyond appearance, these veins may also cause discomfort, heaviness, and circulation issues.
At Reger Vein and Skin Specialists, advanced treatments are available to remove varicose veins safely and effectively without traditional surgery or long recovery times.
Understanding Varicose Vein Removal
Varicose vein removal is not a one-size-fits-all approach. There are multiple types of varicose veins, and each requires a tailored treatment plan.
Dr. Reger evaluates your specific condition and selects the most effective method to target and remove the affected veins while preserving healthy circulation. Modern treatments are designed to:
- Eliminate visible veins
- Improve blood flow
- Reduce discomfort and swelling
- Restore natural skin appearance

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
Endovenous Laser Ablation is one of the most advanced and widely used treatments for varicose veins.
How It Works
- A small entry point is made in the skin
- A thin laser fiber is inserted into the targeted vein using ultrasound guidance
- Laser energy heats the vein wall as the fiber is slowly withdrawn
- The vein seals shut and blood is redirected to healthier veins
Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body.
Key Benefits
- Minimally invasive
- Performed in-office with local anesthesia
- Little to no discomfort
- Immediate return to normal activities
This treatment is highly effective for larger, deeper veins causing symptoms.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
For veins that bulge significantly above the skin surface, ambulatory phlebectomy may be recommended.
How It Works
- Tiny one-millimeter punctures are made along the vein
- The bulging vein segments are gently removed through these openings
- No stitches are required
What to Expect
- Minimal scarring
- Immediate improvement in appearance
- Comfortable outpatient procedure
- Nearly invisible marks after healing
In many cases, treated areas look like normal skin shortly after the procedure.
Additional Treatment Options
Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may also include:
Foam Sclerotherapy
A specialized solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. This is effective for both small and medium-sized veins.
Can Varicose Veins Come Back?
Even though modern treatments are highly effective, new varicose veins can develop over time due to underlying circulation issues or lifestyle factors.
Your provider will guide you on prevention strategies such as:
- Staying active
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Avoiding prolonged standing or sitting
- Wearing compression stockings if needed

- Faster recovery
