These are technological advances impact over 26 million Americans of both sexes who have varicose veins. And this breakthrough “After” picture is even more important when you consider more serious vein diseases such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can be deadly if not treated.

What technological advances are available to Vein Clinics of Hawaii patients?

One of the most important breakthroughs in vein disease treatment is the use of ultrasound technology. Doctors can now look beneath the skin to pinpoint the exact location of blockages and diseases so they can be treated. Doppler ultrasound technology is an even more important breakthrough, because Hawaii vein specialists can use it to visualize the blood flow through the veins, something they would have been unable to do only a few years ago.

Once your Big Island vascular doctors have located the source of vein problems using ultrasound, they use it again during treatment to precisely guide a number of minimally-invasive treatment methodologies. “Minimally-invasive” means that there is no need to make incisions to treat problems beneath the skin. Instead, doctors can insert tiny catheters directly into the veins and guide them using ultrasound to the precise location where an injection of sealing foam or a short blast from a laser can correct the problem. The resulting treatment is more accurate, and corrects the problems without disturbing neighboring tissues.
