Whether your problem is a simple cosmetic issue or a more serious one such as a life or limb threatening ulceration, Boulder Vein Center is your trusted source for total vein care. We offer state-of-the-art solutions that do not require surgery. Below are state of the art procedures provided at Boulder Vein Center:
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
Varicose veins produce significant symptoms and can lead to serious medical conditions. It’s hard to believe that it was just a few years ago that the only remedy for varicose veins was through surgical stripping. This process involved surgery followed by a lengthy recovery period. The good news is those days are over. Boulder Vein Center is pleased to offer state-of-the-art procedures that will eliminate varicose veins. VenacureTM Endovenous Laser Treatment is a clinically proven in-office procedure that takes about one hour. There is minimal to no scarring and no general anesthesia or hospitalization is required. Our patients can return to their normal routine quickly and the procedure is covered by most insurance carriers.

Microphlebectomy
Microphlebectomy is a procedure that removes sections of a superficial vein that has swelled and bulged from the surface of the leg. Microphlebectomy is often recommended in combination with EVLT; however, there are some cases where the presribed treatment is microphlebectomy alone. This procedure is completed in the office under a local anesthetic medication. The patient is able to return home shortly after the procedure.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy, or injection therapy, is a minimally-invasive method for addressing spider and some larger veins. It is frequently done with the use of a Vein-light or Ultrasound-guidance. The vein is injected with a diluted “sclerosant” medicine, most frequently Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate (SotradecolTM) or Polidocanol (AscleraTM). The lining of the vein is irritated causing it to swell and stick together. The blood clots and the vessel becomes a scar that fades from view over time. This type of clot is not dangerous and does not migrate into the larger veins of the body. This technology has actually been in use since the early 1900’s.
Vein Gogh Spider Vein Treatment
VeinGogh is a fast, new treatment technology that uses special thermal energy to eliminate spider veins on the face or extremities.
Compression Therapy
Gradient compression stockings and hosiery provide pressure that is strongest around the foot and ankle and looser as it moves up the leg. The steady pressure provided by compression stockings assists the leg muscles and veins in moving blood more efficiently and quickly up the leg to the heart. We provide a comprehensive selection of graded compressions stockings.
