Thanks to the advancements in technology, vein treatments no longer necessitate general anesthesia. We employ localized numbing procedures performed directly in our office. All our vein treatment options are minimally invasive, resulting in minimal downtime and discomfort. With the assistance of compression socks, most patients can resume their regular day-to-day activities within 24 hours after the treatment.
