Advanced Vein Care in Huntington Beach

Do you have varicose veins, or have you been diagnosed with leg swelling? Are you experiencing symptoms like leg pain and heaviness, or have you developed open wounds? If you are suffering from varicose or spider veins, we can provide you with the most effective and beneficial treatments, including radiofrequency and laser ablation therapy.
At our practice, our patients receive a personalized consultation during which they learn about the cause of varicose veins and opt for the treatment that is best suited for them. All this is done in the comfort and convenience of our office.

  • Several conditions can cause the vein to stretch, subsequently causing the one-way valves to pull apart. These conditions include pregnancy, jobs requiring prolonged standing and/or sitting, hereditary conditions, blood clots, and even an active lifestyle. If the one-way valves cannot close, the blood flows backward. This is known as reflux. Reflux will result in the pooling of blood in the veins. This pooling is the reason why you may be experiencing problems such as:
    Pain, swelling, cramping, numbness, discoloration, leg restlessness, permanent skin changes and in an advanced disease, sores, venous ulcerations, blood clots and wounds that are difficult to heal.
    Once you start to notice those spider veins and/or varicose veins in your legs, you may already be living with significant venous disease. With the advancement in treatment options seen today, you may experience minimal downtime with a quick recovery period.

When Does It Occur?

The condition occurs when fragile veins near the surface of your leg stretch, wind and swell. Healthy leg veins have one-way valves that allow the blood to run towards the heart against gravity. When these valves are affected, veins are unable to send blood from your legs back to the heart, resulting in a condition called venous insufficiency. Gradually, the vein becomes larger and protrudes as a varicosity under the skin.

Our Pre-treatment Process

First and foremost, our physicians will examine a patient’s leg using ultrasound to ascertain whether varicose vein and leg ulceration treatment are appropriate and necessary. No special preparations are required for this examination.

Radio Frequency Ablation Therapy

Radio Frequency Ablation Therapy

One of the minimally invasive treatments of varicose veins we offer is radio frequency ablation therapy. Dr. Chane applies heat to the inside of the varicose vein using a small catheter, which scars the tissue to close the vein and impede blood flow to be redirected to healthy veins. The procedure utilizes local anesthesia to ensure a rapid recovery and allows patients to return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure.

  • At the time of the procedure, the patient is asked to sign consent forms, the list of medications presently taken, and mention of any current allergy to a specific medication. The whole treatment procedure lasts for fifteen to forty-five minutes (depending on the number of affected veins), followed by a recovery period.
    Step 1: The patient lies on the x-ray table, and local anesthesia (or a mild sedative for relaxation) is given to make the treatment area numb.
    Step 2: The skin over the affected area is well cleaned. During the whole procedure, the patient remains awake and aware and can provide feedback to the physician.
    Step 3: With the guidance of x-ray (fluoroscopy), a special radiofrequency needle is directed alongside the lateral or medial branch nerves. The fluoroscope allows the doctor to watch the needle on the real-time fluoroscope monitor, to ensure that the needle goes into the desired location.
    Step 4: A tiny amount of electrical current is passed through the needle to the target nerve, keeping a safe distance from other nerves, through the administration of radiofrequency waves, creating a small burn known as lesion. The current creates a pressure and the patient might feel a muscle twitch. This electric current disrupts the pain-producing signal. On each site, the burn takes approximately 90 seconds.
    Step 5: The targeted nerves are then numbed to minimize the pain when these single or multiple (if required) lesions are created.

  • Radio frequency ablation is a relatively safe procedure, with minimal complications. However, some possible side effects of radio frequency ablation treatment are-
    ● Feelings of pain, burning, or prickling after the recovery (usually from nerve damage).● Skin burns.● Localized numbness.● Allergic reaction to medication.● Large or small blood clots in the veins or deep veins.

    However, these side effects are less likely to occur if the radio frequency is performed by an experienced doctor.

VenaSeal Vein Treatment

Our VenaSeal vein treatment is one of the many minimally invasive varicose vein treatments we offer in office. This procedure utilizes medical grade glue to seal the varicose vein so blood flow can be redirected to healthy veins. The procedure utilizes local anesthesia to ensure a rapid recovery and allows patients to return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure.

Varithena Vein Treatment

An alternative option to treat varicose veins we offer is the Varithena treatment. This option involves introducing a medical foam to the afflicted vein that will close the vein. Blood flow is cut off from the unhealthy vein to be redirected to healthy ones. The procedure utilizes local anesthesia to ensure a rapid recovery and allows patients to return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure.
