Are you experiencing leg pain? Varicose Veins maybe the problem and Dr. Fakhri can help diagnosis and treat this condition. One of the most popular forms of treatment is Endovenous Ablation. What is Endovenous Ablation?
EVLT is a treatment used for large varicose veins in which a thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein via catheter. As the doctor pulls out the catheter, the laser shrinks and seals large veins which cause varicose veins. This procedure takes less than an hour and requires local anesthesia. Scarring is minimal if even at all. Give us a call to schedule a Vein Screening today and learn more on how we can help.

What Is Venous Insufficiency?
Venous insufficiency, or venous disease, is when the blood is improperly flowing back to the heart. The irregular blood flow is due to a problem in the valves in the veins of the legs. This means, the vein valves are not pumping blood back to the heart in the manner they should be. When the vein valves malfunction, the blood begins to pool in the legs, ankles, and feet, because it is not being pumped out of the legs. When valves work properly, they open and close to move the blood back to the heart.

With venous insufficiency, the vein valves are damaged, most likely, from excessive pressure on the body, especially the legs. When the blood begins to pool in the lower body, a person will feel a heaviness, achiness, and fatigue in those areas. These damaged valves, along with the blood pooling, can lead to the development of problems such as varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (blood clots), and other skin changes.

If these damaged valves go untreated, more pressure will continue to build and even more valves will become damaged. As the valves and veins worsen, a person can develop leg pain, ulcers, swelling, and even more serious conditions and problems.
