Can Varicose Veins Really Be Treated In A Lunch Hour?

Perhaps you’ve seen those ads advertising your varicose veins gone in 45 minutes? It certainly sounds enticing, but is it really possible? The answer is both yes ….and no – let us explain.

In the last 10 years especially, the treatment of venous disease, varicose veins, spider veins and leg ulcers has undergone a radical (and much welcomed) transformation.

Instead of having to undergo vein surgery in hospital under a general anesthesia and spending 2-3 weeks recovering– the rapid advancement of minimally invasive techniques mean you can get treated in a doctor’s office during your lunch hour.

Today Dr Jones’ vein laser treatments and treatments using radio frequency mean her patients can typically drive themselves home afterwards! There’s no downtime and about as much discomfort during the treatment as a flu shot.

The vein treatments themselves do take approximately 45 minutes however it may takes multiple treatments for a patient to have their varicose veins fully treated, depending on how extensive the problem is or how long they’ve waited to get treated. To provide her patients with comprehensive care, Dr Jones also schedules an in-depth initial consult with all her patients before any treatments to properly diagnose the underlying cause of their vein problems. This physical assessment is part of Dr Jones’ 5 Step Healthy Vein Treatment Plan.™ Its an important step to ensure the underlying cause of your varicose veins get properly treated (and not just the surface veins treated.)
