Our Specialized Services:
Palm Harbor Vein Center specializes in treating all stages of varicose veins and spider veins. Our specialized procedures include:
Conservative
Historically, patients with varicose veins were recommended conservative treatment options. Conservative treatment options refer to a non-invasive form of treatment, where medications and surgery are not used to treat varicose veins. Patients can make lifestyle changes, such as eating less, exercising more and wearing support hoses. This regimen has proven helpful in reducing leg pain and further deterioration of the venous system. Conservative treatment will not remove existing abnormal veins, but it may be the treatment choice for patients that may not be able to undergo other treatment methods.

Endovenous Laser (EVLT)
The EVLT™ Procedure deals with the incompetence of the greater saphenous veins. Unlike surgical stripping, EVLT permanently closes off the vein while leaving it in place. It uses the energy from an 810 nm diode laser delivered by a fine fiber-optic probe. As it is only the probe and a slim sheath which need to enter the vein the whole procedure is performed via a tiny skin nick, so there will be no post operative scarring.

Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is the most commonly used treatment for small diameter (5mm) veins, such as spider veins. In sclerotherapy, a liquid is injected with a tiny needle into the vein that causes inflammation of the vein walls and causes the vein walls to stick to one another, collapsing the walls together. This solution and the use of a compression stocking, effectively prevents the vein from working and it stops carrying blood. The vein therefore disappears with time.
