Treatments we Offer

At the Texas Vein and Vascular , we take pride in offering a full range of all scientifically tested, medically approved treatment options. Unlike most other vein-care centers, we are not limited to just one or two treatment options. Because we have all available tools in our toolbox, we feel that we are the best choice for your vein-care needs.

We also take pride in staying up-to-date with the latest developments in vein-care. Our physicians and nurses attend and participate in many scientific medical meetings each year, and are regular contributors to the medical literature.

At the Texas Vein and Vascular , we are passionately committed to providing you with the least invasive yet scientifically tested, medically approved treatment options for achieving long-term relief from your vein problems.

Some of the treatment options we offer at the Texas Vein and Vascular include:



Ambulatory phlebectomy

Ambulatory phlebectomy micro-extraction is a minor surgical procedure which allows for the removal of large surface varicosities through very small incisions that need no stitches. The procedure is normally done in the office at the Texas Vein and Vascular using a local anesthetic. Read more about Ambulatory Phlebectomy...

 
Microsclerotherapy

ImageMicrosclerotherapy is a technique which was developed in the 1950s and 60s to treat spider veins. It evolved out of doctor’s experience with Compression Sclerotherapy, with which is shares many similarities. It involves the use of an extremely fine needle to inject a tiny amount of a dilute solution (sclerosant) directly into the spider veins. The solution causes the lining of the vein to swell, eventually sealing off the blood vessels and preventing blood flow. At the Texas Vein and Vascular, we use sodium tetradecyl as our sclerosant of choice because it is painless and effective. Read more about Microsclerotherapy...

 
Endovenous Ablation Treatment

ImageThe Endovenous Closure procedure is a relatively new method used to treat varicose veins that are caused by broken valves in the Greater Saphenous Vein. Approximately 30% of patients with varicose veins have this situation. The traditional way to treat this situation is with a vein stripping. The Endovenous Closure procedure using Laser or Radiofrequency has basically replaced vein stripping and (in Dr. Alonso's opinion) made it an antiquated procedure. Read more about radiofrequency
