ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

Endovenous ablation is a simple procedure in which the swollen, painful veins known as varicosities are closed off, eliminating the distinctive appearance and troublesome symptoms of varicose veins. The procedure is minimally invasive, easy to recover from, and can be performed in under an hour in the comfort of our Webster office. Want to learn more?
