Treat Venous Reflux at Upper East Side’s New Vein Clinic

You may have noticed heaviness, aching, or swelling in your legs, especially after standing for long periods. Perhaps your legs feel restless at night, or you see bulging veins beneath the skin. These could be signs of venous reflux, a condition that affects the veins in your legs and impairs healthy blood circulation. Left untreated, venous reflux can lead to varicose veins, leg ulcers, and chronic venous insufficiency.

At Vein Treatments NYC, we understand the importance of prompt and effective care. Our new Upper East Side vein clinic, located at 1111 Park Avenue, Suite 1B, New York, offers minimally invasive vein treatments to address venous reflux and restore vascular health.

What is Venous Reflux?

Venous reflux, also known as chronic venous insufficiency, occurs when the valves in your leg veins become weak or damaged. These valves are responsible for pushing blood back toward your heart. When they fail, blood pools in the veins, leading to swelling, discomfort, and visible conditions like varicose and spider veins. This condition is progressive, meaning it worsens over time without proper intervention. Fortunately, minimally invasive vein treatments can effectively restore circulation and alleviate symptoms.

Signs and Symptoms of Venous Reflux:

• Aching or heaviness in the legs
• Leg swelling, especially by the end of the day
• Restless legs or discomfort at night
• Itching, burning, or tingling sensations in the legs
• Bulging, twisted varicose veins
• Clusters of small, visible spider veins
• Skin darkening or thickening, particularly around the ankles
• Open sores (leg ulcers) in severe cases

Why You Must Treat Venous Reflux Promptly:

1. Prevents Progression to Severe Venous Insufficiency: Without proper venous insufficiency treatment, venous reflux can progress into chronic venous insufficiency, which leads to worsening pain, swelling, and complications like leg ulcers and skin discoloration.
2. Reduces the Risk of Blood Clots: Pooling blood in dysfunctional veins increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In this potentially dangerous condition, clots form in deep veins and can travel to the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism.
3. Alleviates Pain and Improves Mobility: Venous reflux can cause chronic leg pain, fatigue, and heaviness, making daily activities difficult. Treating the condition restores mobility.
4. Enhances Aesthetic Appearance and Confidence: Varicose and spider veins can be unsightly. Treating the root cause enhances the appearance of your legs.
5. Prevents Costly, Invasive Procedures: Early intervention with minimally invasive varicose vein treatments reduces the need for surgical interventions.

Our Upper East Side vein clinic is led by Dr. Jonathan Hemli, a highly accomplished and board-certified vein specialist with a distinguished venous medicine and cardiothoracic surgery background. With over a decade of experience, Dr. Hemli has treated various venous conditions, from mild spider veins to advanced venous insufficiency.

2. Minimally Invasive Vein Treatments

Vein Treatments NYC specializes in non-surgical, minimally invasive vein treatments that effectively treat venous reflux, varicose veins, and spider veins without hospitalization or general anesthesia. Our state-of-the-art vein treatments include:

• Sclerotherapy: The gold-standard treatment for spider veins, sclerotherapy involves injecting a medical solution into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time.
• Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): Uses laser energy to seal faulty veins from the inside, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A minimally invasive technique that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close diseased veins, relieving symptoms of venous reflux.
• VenaSeal: A cutting-edge procedure that uses a medical adhesive to close malfunctioning veins. VenaSeal does not require compression stockings after the procedure.
• ClariVein: A revolutionary mechanochemical ablation treatment that combines mechanical and chemical techniques to treat varicose veins quickly and painlessly.

Each minimally invasive vein treatment is performed in-office with minimal discomfort and zero downtime, allowing you to immediately return to your daily activities. If you want the best varicose vein or a reliable spider vein treatment, our vein treatment clinic in New York offers cutting-edge solutions tailored to your condition.

3. Personalized Treatment Plans with Duplex Ultrasound

Our Upper East Side vein clinic takes a personalized, patient-centered approach to venous care. Every patient undergoes a detailed consultation and comprehensive vascular evaluation using advanced Duplex ultrasound technology. Benefits of Duplex ultrasound include:

• Accurately diagnoses venous reflux and venous insufficiency
• Identifies the underlying cause of varicose veins and spider veins
• Guides precise, targeted treatment for optimal results
• Allows real-time monitoring during minimally invasive vein procedures

4. Insurance Coverage for Most Vein Treatments

At Vein Treatments NYC, we understand that the cost of medical care is a concern for many patients. We work with over 100 medical insurance providers to make vein treatment affordable and accessible. Most vein procedures are covered by insurance if they are considered medically necessary. This means that if you suffer from venous reflux, chronic venous insufficiency, leg pain, swelling, or varicose veins, your treatment will likely be fully or partially covered.

Even if you’re seeking spider vein treatment, coverage is possible if duplex ultrasound confirms venous insufficiency. Even though spider veins are often considered cosmetic, the underlying cause can be treated under insurance. Contact us to verify your insurance details and learn about your coverage options before your appointment.
