Minimally-Invasive Surgery At Three Rivers Vein Center 

Best Treatment For Varicose Veins

Ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive, office based procedure for removal of large, bulging varicose veins. Here’s how it works at our practice:

  1. Numbing solution is injected under the skin surrounding the affected vein.
  2. The vein is removed through multiple tiny incisions. 
  3. Patients are able to drive themselves home post treatment and resume normal activities immediately.

This is a medical procedure performed for symptomatic relief, however, the cosmetic results are also quite favorable. If you’re interested in learning more about phlebectomy, please feel free to contact us! We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.
