Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy in New York, New York (NY)
At one time, surgery and laser treatments were the only options for those wishing to get rid of enlarged varicose veins. Modern technology now provides a third choice called ultrasound guided sclerotherapy. This procedure is performed by a doctor or trained cosmetician who uses an ultrasound machine to pinpoint problem veins. While looking at the vein on a monitor, the provider can then guide a solution filled needle into the vein. This fluid disturbs the lining of the vein, causing the vein to contract and close. Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy, performed using a local anesthesia, can be performed in a short time period, but it may require several sessions to get results that are satisfactory. These sessions range in cost from roughly $200-$500, but the results are permanent. One of the benefits of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is the short recovery period. Although they may have to limit exercise and wear compression hosiery for several days after the surgery, most patients can return to their normal activities very quickly. A quick call to a provider of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy will enable you to schedule a consultation, during which a specialist can answer your questions and help you decide whether this procedure is the right one for you.
About Weill Cornell Vein Treatment Center
Weill Cornell Vascular’s Vein Care provides comprehensive minimally invasive care for patients with the full spectrum of vein related problems, including varicose and spider veins.
Weill Cornell Vascular was founded in 1998, and is consistently recognized as one of the leading vein care centers in the world. The practice is a part of the Weill Cornell Medical College, and their physicians are all full-time faculty in the college and at the New York Presbyterian Hospital.
The founder, Dr. Robert Min, developed the practice based on the premise that the best results for patients come from the use of cutting edge technology coupled with personalized care. State-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment procedures are utilized in the appropriate combinations to get the best results while minimizing the side effects and downtime.
Endovenous laser ablation (also known as EVLT and ELA) of the saphenous vein was developed by Dr.Min and his colleagues in the late 1990s. As a result, Weill Cornell Vascular has the most experience in the world using this technique.
Drs. Neil Khilnani and Ronald Winokur, Dr. Min’s colleagues at Weill Cornell Vascular, remain committed to personalized care and are known for outstanding clinical results and patient satisfaction. The consultation, diagnostic testing, treatments and follow-up visits are all performed by the same physician.
Unlike other medical school affiliated practices that heavily utilize assistants or colleagues to perform some of the procedures, the physicians at Weill Cornell Vascular take care of every aspect of your care.
The full-time Weill Cornell physicians are knowledgeable and care for a wide variety of venous conditions. Treatments for varicose and spider veins are performed at the 2315 Broadway office in specially designed treatment rooms. Patients who have pelvic venous insufficiency or congestion, varicoceles, iliac vein obstruction or occlusion, deep vein thrombosis as well as venous, lymphatic and arterial malformations are treated in our sophisticated suites at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center.
