Varicose Veins
At Vascular Care Specialists of Los Angeles, we understand that dealing with varicose veins can feel frustrating and, at times, even a little embarrassing. Whether it’s the discomfort they cause or how they affect your confidence, you don’t have to live with this alone. We’re here to provide answers, relief, and a plan that works for you.
Our Diagnostic Approach
At VCSLA, we’re committed to making the diagnostic process simple, comfortable, and tailored to your needs. Here’s how we evaluate varicose veins:
Physical Examination:
We’ll take the time to examine your legs and listen to your concerns.
Venous Ultrasound:
This non-invasive test helps us understand how your blood is flowing and identify any underlying valve issues or blockages.
Personalized Consultation:
We’ll discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals to create a care plan that’s just right for you.
Comprehensive
Treatment Options
The great news is that varicose veins can be treated effectively with a range of options designed to fit your needs and lifestyle.
01
Lifestyle Modifications
Simple steps like wearing compression stockings, elevating your legs, staying active, and maintaining a healthy weight can ease symptoms and prevent further progression.
02
Minimally Invasive Treatments
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): A minimally invasive procedure using laser energy to seal the affected vein and redirect blood flow to healthier veins.
03
Surgical Options
For more severe cases, procedures like vein stripping or phlebectomy may be recommended. These options are effective for removing or closing off problem veins.
04
Ongoing Care
We’re here to support you with follow-up care to keep your veins healthy and ensure lasting results.
