Venous Insufficiency & Varicose Vein Treatment Near Denver

Sclerosant is an injectable solution used in the treatment of venous insufficiency that can be injected as a foam or a liquid, and is typically performed after vein ablation. Foam Sclerotherapy is also an important part of venous wound care.

After a local anesthetic is applied, a tiny needle is positioned within the poorly functioning vein under ultrasound guidance. Through this needle, liquid sclerosant or foam (a combination of air and sclerosant) is injected into the veins. The injection is watched with real-time ultrasound guidance.

Foam Sclerotherapy is a minimally-invasive procedure done at our facility and recovery consists of compression socks post treatment.

Also known as a “microphlebectomy,” this technique is used to remove bulging, large varicose veins by utilizing a series of tiny puncture sites and the varicose veins are pulled through the skin. This procedure is usually performed the same day as the venous ablation.

Phlebectomy is a minimally-invasive procedure done at our facility under mild sedation and recovery consists of compression socks post treatment.

"Ablation" means to terminate or reroute a faulty pathway, in this case referring to your superficial veins.  At ECCO, we have two techniques to cauterize the faulty veins so that the blood will be re-routed into the larger, intramuscular deep veins and allow decompression of the superficial veins.

EVLT Treatment

One procedure to treat venous insufficiency is called Endovenous Laser Therapy, or EVLT. This is a procedure in which a tiny catheter is introduced directly into the veins via a pinprick, and is guided to the proper location. Then a tiny laser fiber is inserted and heat is used to seal the veins permanently. Blood flow is re-routed to healthier veins in the area.

EVLT is a minimally-invasive procedure done with or without sedation at our facility and recovery time is minimal.

Venaseal Treatment

VenaSeal is an FDA-approved treatment for venous insufficiency and varicose veins that promises minimal invasiveness with outstanding results. Unique in its approach, this technique uses medical-grade glue to close off the affected veins. This innovative technique is a type of sclerotherapy, which traditionally involves injecting a solution into the veins to shrink them.

How Does It Work?

During the VenaSeal procedure, a small amount of specially formulated medical adhesive is delivered into the varicose vein through a tiny catheter (usually inserted at the wrist or groin). This glue seals the vein wall within seconds, effectively closing off the problematic venous areas. The body then naturally reroutes blood to healthier veins.
