Top Vein Center in Montgomery County: Treatment Advances

Information may not be reliable

In recent years, the world of medicine has undergone remarkable advances, few of them as impressive as the breakthroughs made in the field of venous medicine. Endovenous therapies that allow doctors to treat vein problems without the need for invasive surgery and general anesthesia have created a new world for patients seeking vein disease treatment in Washington DC.

What vein treatments does the top vein center in Montgomery County use?

The focus of modern vein disease treatment is primarily on "minimally-invasive" procedures that allow the doctor to treat vein disorders by introducing a tiny catheter or needle into the vein, guiding it precisely into place using ultrasound technology that allows them to see through the surface of the skin, and then using heat, high-frequency energy, lasers, or medications to eliminate the problems.

For example, one treatment technique used to permanently eliminate varicose veins is sclerotherapy, in which the doctor injects a chemical agent into the swollen veins to cause the blood vessel walls to stick to each other. The treated vein then collapses, blood flow is rerouted through healthier veins, and within a few days the varicose veins are absorbed into surrounding tissue and disappear.

Endovenous radiofrequency ablation (also called Venefit), micro-phlebectomy, and endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) are other state-of-the-art techniques used by varicose vein doctors in Montgomery County to treat vein disease. EVLT is also used to remove blood clots caused by another common and extremely dangerous vein condition, deep vein thrombosis. You can find out more about each of these procedures by clicking the links, which will take you to informative articles we've provided about each of them on our website.

Truly great vein disease treatment requires more than high-tech

As impressive as these cutting-edge medical technologies may be, another area in which Dr. Hamza Rana excels and which has resulted in him being considered one of the best vein doctors in Washington DC is his understanding of the role that lifestyle plays in keeping one's veins healthy. So while he's treating already-diseased veins using the most advanced treatment procedures, he's also fighting the cause of these problems by recommending diet and exercise programs and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of developing new vein problems. Following these recommendations allows patients to reduce the impact of their existing symptoms while simultaneously improving their overall health and well-being.
