Understanding Vein Disease and the Role of Ultrasound

Vein disease, or venous insufficiency, occurs when the veins in your legs cannot effectively return blood to your heart, leading to symptoms such as swelling, pain, and visible varicose veins. Diagnosing this condition accurately is crucial for effective treatment. 

Dr. Sherman - Medical Director and Surgeon at Vein Specialists of Augusta

At Vein Specialists of Augusta, we utilize vascular ultrasound, a non-invasive and painless imaging technique, to assess blood flow in your veins. This method allows us to visualize vein structure and function in real-time, ensuring precise diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. 

Our Vein Therapy Services

We offer a range of advanced, non-invasive treatments to address vein issues:

  • Sclerotherapy: An effective procedure for treating smaller varicose and spider veins by injecting a solution that causes the veins to collapse and fade.
  • Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): A minimally invasive treatment that uses laser energy to close off damaged veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
  • Ambulatory Phlebectomy: A technique to remove large varicose veins through tiny incisions, resulting in minimal scarring.
  • VenaSeal™ Closure System: A non-thermal, non-sclerosant procedure that uses medical adhesive to close veins, offering a quick recovery time.

Why Choose Vein Specialists of Augusta?
