The Veinlite transilluminates (lights up) veins below the skin, even vessels which may not be visible to the human eye, allowing Dr. Yacob to accurately map out the course of feeder vessels prior to injecting the spider veins. Feeder vessels are typically blue-green in color and are called reticular veins. Some feeder vessels can originate 4-8 cm away from where the spider is presented on the surface. Locating and closing all feeder vessels is a critical part of treating spider veins and ensuring that they do not recur. https://www.kingstonveinclinic.ca/treatment-options/ussclero monthly 0.5 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6027d3d6a69d7d4425a6d0ec/1613337058133-UA1ZHNJTOR57D4UZSQ3A/usscerlo.jpg Treatment Options - Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy - Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy All diseased veins – from the largest of varicose veins to the tiniest of spiders – are caused by abnormal leakage of blood through faulty valves located inside veins deep beneath the surface of the skin. Over time, this abnormal leakage of blood, also called reflux causes veins visible on the skin surface to enlarge and turn into diseased veins we call varicose veins and spiders. Sometimes, the veins we see on the surface are not the main veins causing the problems. This is where the ultrasound allows Dr. Yacob to look deep under the skin, to identify the veins responsible for your problems, and treat them right at the source. Compared to surgery or surface sclerotherapy, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is associated with significantly less recurrence and less repeat treatment sessions. Indeed, ultrasound has emerged as a powerful weapon against stubborn varicose veins. https://www.kingstonveinclinic.ca/treatment-options/surfacesclero monthly 0.5 2021-02-17 https://www.kingstonveinclinic.ca/treatment-options/ablation monthly 0.5 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6027d3d6a69d7d4425a6d0ec/1613344261972-UOM8RPXZ4L92USXZTIVM/maxresdefault+%282%29.jpg Treatment Options - VenaSeal Ablation - The Gold Standard The majority of varicose veins are a result of incompetence of the greater saphenous vein in the thigh. The VenaSeal system is specifically designed to close this vein permanently with a painless, inert, medical-grade glue called cyanoacrylate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6027d3d6a69d7d4425a6d0ec/1613341319776-1PNX222U0R9OSBOFM9J3/pexels-photo-4153188.jpeg Treatment Options - VenaSeal Ablation - How is this different than ‘Laser’? Laser ablation of the saphenous vein is an older technology that, in principle, works similarly to VenaSeal ablation. Both technologies aim to close the Saphenous Vein in your thigh, which is usually the vein that causes your varicose veins in the first place. While VenaSeal uses a painless glue to close the Saphenous Vein, a Laser ablation procedure uses a high temperature catheter, that ‘burns the vein shut’. Because laser is using super-heated energy along the thigh, this procedure can sometimes cause unwanted pain and discoloration along your thigh. VenaSeal is painless, and leaves no discoloration behind. Additionally, there have been multiple studies that have shown superior results of VenaSeal compared to both Laser Ablation and RFA Ablation.
