Varicose veins
Restoration For Your Veins
Ready to be done with your varicose veins? At Polaris Vein & Aesthetics, an ambulatory phlebectomy in Columbus may be your solution as a minimally invasive surgical procedure. This treatment involves removing varicose veins by making small incisions in your skin. It resolves unsightly and uncomfortable veins to boost your confidence and comfort in your everyday life.
Benefits of Phlebectomy
Symptom Relief
This procedure improves blood flow, enhances the appearance of your legs, and provides relief from other symptoms such as restlessness, discomfort, and the inability to stand for long periods of time.
Safe & Effective
Ambulatory phlebectomy has a high success rate of eliminating superficial varicose veins, and it is completely safe for patients. You may experience some side effects after the procedure, but they should resolve with time.
Minimally Invasive
The incisions in the skin are small and do not require any stitches. This simplifies your recovery process and eliminates the restrictions that an intensive surgery would entail.
Plan Your Treatment Today
You can use our one-of-a-kind Treatment Planning Tool to design a suitable plan that works best for you.
How Phlebectomy Works
Before beginning, you will receive a local anesthetic to help enhance your comfort. Your doctor will make micro-incisions in the skin, where they can insert a small surgical hook to secure the vein. They will then carefully remove sections of the varicose vein through the incisions, and your body naturally redirects blood flow to other healthier veins in the body. Over time, your body will absorb the rest of the vein, diminishing its unwanted appearance and symptoms.
