Minimally invasive vein treatments

Our procedures close the damaged vein from the inside so blood reroutes through healthy veins. Most patients go home the same day and return to normal activities quickly.

VenaSeal

Uses a medical adhesive to close diseased veins. No heat, minimal discomfort, no compression stockings afterward, and an immediate return to normal activities.

ClosureFast radiofrequency ablation

An outpatient procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and seal the problem vein. Local anesthesia only, less bruising than traditional surgery, high success rates, and covered by most insurance plans.

Varithena

An FDA-approved injectable foam that fills the vein and causes it to collapse and seal. Non-surgical, treats multiple veins in one session, works well on twisted veins, with minimal downtime.

Compression therapy

Often the first treatment for venous insufficiency. Graduated stockings reduce swelling and discomfort, help prevent progression, and can be used alone or with other treatments.

Procedures are available at all three of our offices.

Call for an appointment

Vein care led by a cardiologist. Swelling, heaviness, and night cramps can look like heart failure. Dr. Koraym can evaluate the veins and the heart in one place.
