UT Southwestern Medical Center offers advanced endovascular laser therapy that can permanently eliminate varicose veins without surgery. Our vascular specialists use a local anesthetic and laser light to quickly and easily treat varicose veins without requiring a hospital stay or the need to use stitches.

Treatment

Laser therapy allows a specialist to seal veins closed and reroute the flow of blood to other veins deeper within the leg. The procedure itself requires only a few minutes, and a follow-up appointment will help confirm that the veins have completely closed.

UT Southwestern endovascular therapists also use sclerotherapy injections to treat larger varicose veins that do not respond to laser treatments. Both types of treatments are minimally invasive and typically require three to five appointments over a period of three to six months. For patients who are candidates for sclerotherapy, we will use a schlerosing solution or similar medical treatment to absorb the vein and eliminate its appearance.
