Vein disease affects millions of adults in the United States and is one of the most common causes of leg pain, swelling, heaviness, and visible varicose veins. Varicose vein and spider vein treatments may relieve pain and discomfort, improve the appearance of your legs, and prevent bleeding and superficial clots. When left untreated, varicose veins can cause venous stasis dermatitis and ulceration (reddish-brown pigmentation, swelling, and leathery skin), leading to DVT. Vein treatments vary based on diagnosis but understanding the types of vein treatments are available can help you understand your next steps. Let’s explore non-surgical vein treatment options.

What Is Vein Disease?
Vein disease, also known as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), occurs when the valves in the veins weaken or fail, causing blood to pool in the legs instead of flowing efficiently back to the heart. As pressure builds over time, vein disease can lead to symptoms such as varicose veins, spider veins, leg pain or aching, swelling in the legs or ankles, heaviness or fatigue in the legs, skin changes or discoloration, and, in more advanced cases, venous ulcers.
If vein disease progresses without treatment, poor circulation and ongoing inflammation can increase the risk of more serious complications.
In rare cases, severe venous disease may contribute to conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potentially serious blood clot that requires immediate medical attention.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve circulation, reduce symptoms, and lower the risk of complications.

Our Approach to Vein Treatment
USA Vein Clinics follows a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to vein care. Every treatment plan begins with a detailed evaluation, including a diagnostic ultrasound, to identify the specific veins responsible for your symptoms. Based on your diagnosis, our vein specialists create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your condition, symptoms, and lifestyle.
All treatments are minimally invasive, performed on an outpatient basis, designed to require little to no downtime, focused on restoring healthy blood flow
Vein Treatments and Procedures
Our non-surgical treatments for vein disease typically take less than an hour to perform. Using ultrasound guidance, a vein specialist targets the affected vein and applies treatment to close it off. Blood is then naturally rerouted through healthier veins, improving circulation and relieving symptoms.
Our Vein Procedures:
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
- Purpose: Treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (including venous ulcers, edema from vein disease and RLS from circulation issues)
- How It Works: A laser fiber is inserted into the vein, delivering energy to close off the affected veins and redirect blood flow to healthier veins. Reduces venous pressure that prevents ulcers from healing
- Recovery: Minimal downtime, potential bruising or soreness.
ClariVein® Treatment
- Purpose: Treats varicose veins.
- How It Works: Combines mechanical and chemical ablation.
- Recovery: Quick procedure with minimal downtime.
Varithena Vein Treatment
- Purpose: Treats varicose veins.
- How It Works: Foam sclerosant is injected into the vein under ultrasound guidance.
- Recovery: Minimal downtime, may require multiple sessions.
VenaSeal™ Treatment
- Purpose: Closure of varicose veins.
- How It Works: Medical adhesive is used to close the vein.
- Recovery: No need for compression stockings post-procedure, minimal downtime.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Treatment
- Purpose: Treats varicose veins, edema from vein disease
- How It Works: A catheter is inserted into the vein, and radiofrequency energy is used to heat and close the vein.
- Recovery: Quick recovery, minimal pain.
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
- Purpose: Treats moderate to severe varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
- How It Works: An ultrasound is used to inject a sclerosant into the vein, causing it to collapse and redirect blood flow to healthy veins. Useful for branching or tortuous veins near ulcer sites
- Recovery: Minimal discomfort; no scarring. Most patients can resume light activities the same day.
Visual Sclerotherapy
- Purpose: Treat small to medium-sized varicose and spider veins.
- How It Works: A solution is injected into the vein, causing it to scar and close. Blood reroutes through healthier veins.
- Recovery: Minimal downtime; some bruising and swelling may occur.
