This procedure allows for the removal of large surface veins and may be performed in conjunction with endovenous laser ablation or other therapies for varicose veins.
It is done in the office under local anesthesia.
This procedure involves making tiny punctures or incisions through which the varicose veins are removed.
The incisions are so small no stitches are required.
Skin incisions or needle punctures as small as 1 mm are used to extract veins with a phlebectomy hook.
A hook is inserted into a micro-incision in the leg.
A section of the vein is hooked and then removed through the incision.
With this procedure, a compression bandage is worn for two weeks.
This minimizes swelling and discomfort and allows for proper healing.
