Common Vein Conditions:
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are a common condition that affects millions of people. They are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear as blue or purple bulges beneath the skin. While they may be unsightly, varicose veins can also cause discomfort, pain, and other health problems. At Image Guided Solutions of Missouri, we offer a variety of effective treatments to address varicose veins and improve your quality of life.
Spider Veins
Spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, are small, dilated blood vessels that appear as red, blue, or purple lines on the skin, often resembling a spider's web. They are most commonly found on the legs, but can also appear on the face or other areas of the body.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the veins in your legs are unable to pump blood back up to your heart effectively. This can lead to a buildup of blood in your legs, causing various symptoms and potential complications. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
Symptoms of Vein Conditions:
- Aching, heavy, or tired legs
- Pain or cramping in your legs
- Swelling in your legs or ankles
- Leg ulcers or poorly healing leg wounds
- Varicose veins that are visible through the skin
- Restless legs
- Discoloration & itchy skin
Treatment Options at Image Guided Solutions of Missouri:
At IGS, we offer a variety of effective treatments for vein conditions, including:
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. During sclerotherapy, a sclerosant solution is injected into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and become less visible. This procedure is often performed in a doctor's office and requires minimal downtime.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA is similar to EVLA in that it uses heat to close the affected veins. However, RFA uses radiofrequency energy instead of a laser. This procedure is also minimally invasive and requires minimal downtime.
