Get Rid of Varicose Veins Permanently
If left untreated, varicose veins can cause serious health issues later down the line. There are many methods to reduce varicose veins, but there are very few solutions to stopping them permanently.
Microphlebectomy is a method of varicose vein removal in Lynchburg that removes the weakened veins completely from your body. This out-patient procedure ensures that those veins cannot re-open and become varicose again, providing a permanent solution to your concerns.
How Microphlebectomy Works
Bringing You Results
Microphlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that permanently removes large varicose veins to prevent the development of future varicose veins. Our team makes a precise map of your veins using an ultrasound. Then, we make a small incision in the skin and use a surgical hook to remove the weakened veins one piece at a time.
With the veins themselves gone, microphlebectomy creates a permanent solution to varicose veins. Your body will naturally redirect your blood to flow to healthier veins.

Schedule a follow-up appointment for the day following your procedure to check incision healing.

Make sure to elevate your legs, especially when you sleep. This will help prevent pooling and the development of blood clots.

Refrain from hot tubs and swimming for two weeks following the procedure.

While you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for two weeks, we do encourage light walking and exercise to stimulate healthy blood flow.
