Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a method of removing large, bulging varicosities. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia administered in the doctor’s office. The veins are removed through micro-incisions as small as 1mm.
There is usually virtually no downtime.
Some of the benefits for good candidates include:
- no downtime
- can be done on all skin types
- performed in the doctor’s office
- minimal postoperative pain and discomfort
- no general anesthesia
