Vein Ablation Treatment For Your Unwanted Varicose Veins

Vein Ablation Treatment For Your Unwanted Varicose Veins

Many adults develop varicose veins in their lifetime, and the painful condition can do significant damage to one’s self-confidence. Here at Zenith Vascular & Fibroid Center, we specialize in vascular procedures like vein ablation treatment. This is a safe, effective solution to the condition, and it may be just what you have been looking for to find relief. You may have some questions surrounding this treatment, and Phillip T. Zeni, Jr., M.D., FSIR and his team are here to answer them all.

What is Vein Ablation?

Vein ablation treatment is a safe and reliable procedure used to treat varicose veins. It closes the problematic vein in the leg. Venous ablation is an ideal solution to varicose veins because there is no set downtime, and patients can resume their normal daily activities after the treatment.

Don’t I Need My Veins?

The venous system in your legs comprises deep and superficial veins. There are several collateral pathways that allow for blood flow. When superficial varicose veins are closed, the body has no trouble redirecting the blood into the deep vein system. During your initial consultation, we will carefully evaluate the health of your venous system to ensure both you and your veins are healthy enough for this procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Since vein ablation treatment is so safe, few people are informed they are a poor candidate for this procedure. If some affected veins are smaller leg veins, you may find it necessary to look for a different treatment option. You are likely to be a good candidate for this procedure if you do not smoke and are in good general health.

How Should I Prepare?

Preparation for the treatment is pretty simple. In the days before the procedure, you may have to stop taking certain medications. Our team can tell you all about this during your initial consultation.

What Else Should I Know?

Vein ablation treatment is performed in the comfort of our office. It is minimally-invasive, making it a great option for men and women with busy schedules. The energy used during the treatment is carefully controlled to ensure precision and patient comfort.

Coolsculpting: Are You A Good Candidate For This Treatment?

Your diet is healthy. You work out regularly. But you still have stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge. At Zenith Vascular & Fibroid Center, we know how frustrating this can be. Luckily, CoolSculpting can target and eliminate fat from specific areas of your body. You are warmly invited to find out if you are a good candidate for this FDA-approved body contouring treatment.

Qualifying for Treatment

Approved by the FDA in 2010, most people make good candidates for CoolSculpting®. Some of the factors you need to consider include your body weight, whether or not you want surgery, how much fat you have to remove and if you are pregnant or plan to be pregnant in the future.

Are You Near Your Target Weight?

CoolSculpting® eliminates fat, but it is not a weight loss procedure. Each treatment session eliminates some excess fat from the targeted area. You can schedule follow-up treatments to remove a little more fat from the treated area, but this treatment will not help you lose a bunch of weight.

Are You Dissatisfied with Your Body?

Even if you are at your goal weight, you may still have unwanted pockets of fat in certain areas, such as your:

  • Thighs
  • Abdomen
  • Love handles

If you want to remove fat deposits from a specific area but you do not want to undergo surgery, you may be an ideal candidate for CoolSculpting®.

Do You Want a Non-Surgical Solution?

Liposuction is perfectly safe for those who qualify. However, many people are uncomfortable with anesthesia or do not want any downtime after their fat removal. Others simply don’t qualify for surgery. If this sounds like you, CoolSculpting is probably the way to go.

Are You Pregnant or Considering Pregnancy?

Thanks to significant hormone shifts, your body undergoes many changes during pregnancy. You will gain weight during pregnancy and may find additional fat deposits on your abdomen after you give birth. This means the effects of CoolSculpting may be negated.

Are You Healthy?

Good candidates for this body contouring treatment are in good overall health. They also have realistic expectations regarding the treatment and the results.

You might want to seek professional vein treatment if you are having problems like visible veins that can be seen through the skin or symptoms like numbness and tingling that are being caused by these conditions. Even if you think you might not want them treated right away, it may be a good idea to have the condition evaluated just to make sure it is not putting you at risk for more serious health problems.

Deep vein thrombosis is one of the most serious of the vascular conditions. It is the development of one or more blood clots in the vessels that are in the tissue deeper in the legs. Clots there have a greater chance of breaking free and traveling to the lungs. Many times, deep vein thrombosis does not produce any symptoms. When symptoms are present, however, they often consist of things like swelling in the legs, pain, tenderness or tired legs. These things can happen in both legs or in only one leg. Warm or discolored skin can also be a symptom. You should see a professional especially if these symptoms develop suddenly.

Varicose veins are among the most common reasons for seeking vein treatment. Veins that are visible through the skin, often bulging out as well, are signs of the condition. They happen when blood in the veins begins to pool because it is not flowing through the vessels properly. There are valves in the veins that are present to make sure the blood can only flow in the right direction. When these valves stop working properly, the pull of gravity can work against the natural flow of the blood and cause it to pool in the veins, putting pressure against the walls. This causes the vessels to enlarge. Many people seek vein treatment because of the impact these veins have on appearance.

Varicose veins can also cause symptoms that make daily life uncomfortable. They can cause itching, burning, aching, numbness and tingling in the legs. They can also cause the ankles and lower legs to swell. People who have these symptoms often find that they get worse later in the day, especially if a lot of time is spent standing or sitting in one position. If you are having these issues, you might want to explore your vein treatment options.

Another common reason for considering treatment is spider veins. They are like varicose veins, but the condition happens in smaller vessels. In most cases, they do not produce symptoms. It is usually an appearance issue that causes people to seek vein treatment.

Treatment methods for vascular conditions vary. During a consultation at Zenith Vascular & Fibroid Center in Memphis, your case can be assessed and a customized treatment plan may be created for you. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and get started.
