At Vein Specialists of Augusta, our motto is simple—Healthy Legs for Life! Whether you’re seeking relief from painful, swollen legs or hoping to improve the appearance of unsightly veins, our team is dedicated to helping you achieve legs that look and feel their best. Led by Dr. James C. Sherman, a board-certified vein specialist with over thirty years of experience, we offer both therapeutic and cosmetic vein treatments tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.

Why Vein Health Matters

Healthy veins are essential for good circulation and overall well-being. When veins aren’t working properly, blood can pool in your legs, causing symptoms like aching, heaviness, swelling, restless legs, and visible varicose or spider veins. Left untreated, vein problems can lead to complications such as skin ulcers, blood clots, and ongoing discomfort that affects your daily life and mobility.

Comprehensive Vein Care—Therapeutic and Cosmetic Solutions

At Vein Specialists of Augusta, we offer a full spectrum of vein therapies, from medically necessary treatments covered by insurance to cosmetic procedures that help you feel confident in your skin. Our services include:

• Therapeutic vein treatments that address underlying vein disease, such as varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency, to relieve pain, swelling, and prevent complications. Treatments like radiofrequency ablation (VenClose®), endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), and VenaSeal™ are minimally invasive, require little downtime, and are performed right in our office.
• Cosmetic vein treatments for spider veins or small surface veins, including sclerotherapy and other options to improve the appearance of your legs and boost your confidence.

The Benefits of Modern Vein Therapy

Whether your goal is comfort, health, or aesthetics, vein therapy at Vein Specialists of Augusta offers many advantages:

• Relief from pain and swelling, making it easier to stay active and enjoy life.
• Improved circulation that reduces the risk of complications like blood clots and skin ulcers, supporting overall cardiovascular health.
• Enhanced appearance, helping you say goodbye to bulging veins and visible spider veins.
• Minimally invasive procedures with little downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly.
• Boosted confidence and quality of life through greater mobility and less discomfort.

What to Expect at Vein Specialists of Augusta

Your journey to healthier legs begins with a thorough evaluation. Dr. Sherman uses advanced vascular ultrasound to assess your veins and develop a personalized treatment plan. Whether you need therapy for medical reasons or want to address cosmetic concerns, you’ll receive compassionate, expert care every step of the way.

During your treatment, comfort and safety are our priorities. Most procedures are performed in-office, with minimal discomfort and no need for general anesthesia. After treatment, you’ll receive easy-to-follow instructions for a smooth recovery. Many patients notice improvement in symptoms and appearance within weeks and can resume their usual routines the same day.
