Vascular disease can be preventing by leading a healthy life style. For instance avoiding all types of smoking, healthy diet and regular exercise. Regular check ups for high risk patients will results in detecting any disease at a very early stage and controlling without the need for any interventions.

Patients are advised to bring with them the following:

• A list of your current medications to include dosage and frequency.
• Copies of your medical records and any test reports that relate to your vascular or general health issue.
• If available: Insurance card and, if required by your insurance, an insurance referral form.

This differs from one patient to another.

for instance patients seeking cosmetic removal of spider veins may require one or two sessions while others with more extensive spread of spider veins may require more. This will be determine upon the first visit and the plan will be set by Dr. Hamdallah. For more details of available treatment modalities please refer to the Spider Veins section.

This depends of the Varicose Veins stage, anatomy chronicity and the modality of treatment used. In general the newer modern modalities offer the lowest reoccurrence rates. Traditional surgical approach unfortunately has the highest risk of the varicose veins to reoccur.

In any medical condition, it is very difficult to estimate the cost of the needed treatment due to many factors. Such as the technology or method of treatment, procedures, or the need to use hospital facilities. It is best to visit the clinic for a full assessment before estimating the cost.

Varicose veins are larger, bumpy, and have a thick rope-like appearance, potentially causing significant pain and discomfort; which are a result of dilatation of the superficial saphenous vein. Spider Veins are visible at the surface of the skin but are not raised; and are limited to the skin.

The ultrasound assists in identifying incompetent veins and when reflux is present. As a result; it is a very crucial step in diagnosing and deciding on the best suitable modality of treatment, as most modalities depend on the anatomy of the vein.

Very tiny needles are used for sclerotherapy and rarely cause pain.

Yes, the chance of reoccurrence is very minimal. Unfortunately, new spider veins may develop in the future, requiring further treatment.

Sclerotherapy is a very safe procedure and complications are rare. Tenderness and bruising are expected following treatment but should heal quickly. It is important to follow any instructions given following any treatment to avoid side effects.

Laser treatments can only treat the surface of the skin, while vein damage can occur deep beneath the surface. The underlying vein damage is often the cause of the spider veins. Sclerotherapy can treat the damaged vein, even if it does not lie right at the surface.

Varicose veins are caused by malfunctioning valves that help carry blood to the heart. When the vein fails the blood is no longer being pushed upwards, causing the blood to pool in the vein. The vein then becomes enlarged, ropelike and raised.

One of the treatment technologies we have at the clinic for removing varicose veins is called Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT). This non-invasive procedure takes less than one hour and requires only local anesthesia. The blood will automatically reroute to healthy veins.

Patients are walking immediately following their varicose vein removal procedure; they typically resume normal activities within one day. Strenuous activities should be avoided for the first 2 weeks.

All varicose vein removal procedures performed at our clinic require only local anesthesia allowing patients to literally walk out of their procedure, thus, avoiding the need for extended recovery and avoiding the side effects from general anesthesia. However, some severe cases require surgical intervention and general anesthesia performed at the hospital.

The vein simply becomes fibrous tissue after treatment. Over time, the vein will gradually incorporate into surrounding tissue. One study reported that 89% of treated veins are indistinguishable from other body tissue one year after the venous closure procedure was performed.

Not too many patients like to wear medical compression stockings, but sometimes pressure dressings are all that is necessary for the treatment of varicose veins and spider veins. While wearing these stockings, some patients often report a decrease in their symptoms. However, for many people it is not practical or convenient to wear them on a regular basis.

As you probably know, postponing any type of vascular surgery can have its drawbacks. Varicose vein disease is a progressive disease that, if left untreated, will only get worse. When making a decision about your varicose veins, keep in mind that the sooner you get your veins treated, the easier they are to treat and control.

Most cases are covered through insurance. Insurance companies may require pre-authorization for the procedures and verify the procedure is medically necessary.
