Jefferson Surgical Clinic offers a variety of treatment options for patients with varicose veins and smaller spider veins, including:

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), an alternative to surgical stripping of the greater saphenous vein for treatment of varicose veins.

Laser Treatment of Spider Veins, a non-invasive treatment using a light beam that is pulsed onto the veins in order to seal them off and cause them to dissolve.

Sclerotherapy, which can be used to treat both varicose and spider veins. Using a very fine needle, veins are injected with a medication that causes the veins to collapse and be reabsorbed. The result is that surface veins are no longer visible and, in many patients, other symptoms are relieved.
