A vein specialist, also known as a phlebologist, specializes in treating vein disorders such as varicose veins, spider veins, chronic venous insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis, and venous ulcers. 

How Varicose Veins are Treated

There are various ways to treat varicose veins. Some can be performed at home, while others require a vein specialist's intervention. 

Vein Specialist Treatments

  • Laser treatment 
  • Ligation and stripping
  • Phlebectomy, also known as stab avulsion
  • Radiofrequency treatment
  • Sclerotherapy

How Spider Veins are Treated

At-home treatments can prevent them or reduce their appearance. Still, spider veins need to be treated by a vein specialist, phlebologist, for them to disappear completely.

Vein Specialist Treatments

  • Sclerotherapy
  • Closure system therapy
  • Laser treatment

How Chronic Venous Insufficiency is Treated

If this condition has not progressed too much, at-home treatments may reduce its symptoms. However, if it has progressed or is in poor condition, treatment from a vein specialist will be needed.

Vein Specialist Treatments

  • Prescribed medications such as antibiotics, anticoagulants, and medicated wraps
  • Sclerotherapy
  • Endovenous thermal ablation
  • Ligation and stripping
  • Microincision, also known as ambulatory phlebectomy
  • Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery
  • Vein bypass

How Deep Vein Thrombosis is Treated

Deep vein thrombosis is a serious and dangerous vein condition that must be treated by a vein specialist. There are two main types: acute and chronic. A phlebologist will treat these two types differently.

Acute DVT Treatment

  • Prescribed medication, such as anticoagulants
  • A filter implanted in the inferior vena cava
  • Deep vein thrombosis thrombolysis

Chronic DVT Treatment

  • Metal stents placed in the problem veins
  • Prescribed medication, such as anticoagulants or thrombolytics
  • A filter implanted in the vena cava
  • Angioplasty

At-Home Treatments for Vein Conditions

These treatments may work to reduce symptoms or prevent vein issues. However, it is important to consult a phlebologist when dealing with vein conditions.
