Do your legs feel heavy and achy by the end of the day? Do you experience swelling, cramping, or visible veins that make you self-conscious about wearing shorts or skirts? If so, you may be one of the millions of Americans living with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
CVI occurs when the valves in your leg veins, responsible for efficiently returning blood to the heart, become weak or damaged. This can cause blood to pool in your legs, leading to a range of uncomfortable and often embarrassing symptoms.
For years, many people struggled to find lasting relief from CVI, relying on compression stockings or enduring painful surgical procedures. But a new era of vein treatment has arrived, offering minimally invasive solutions that can transform your leg health and help you regain an active, confident lifestyle.
What’s Wrong with Traditional CVI Treatments?
While compression stockings can provide temporary relief, they don’t address the underlying cause of CVI. And traditional vein stripping surgery, a more invasive procedure, often involved lengthy recovery times and increased risk of complications.
Many people felt resigned to living with the discomfort and limitations of CVI, assuming there was no effective solution. But that’s no longer the case.
Vein problems don’t just affect your appearance – they impact your quality of life. Let our experts help you address both the symptoms and the root cause.
Columbus Vascular Vein & Aesthetics: Minimally Invasive Treatments for CVI
At Columbus Vascular Vein & Aesthetics, we’re proud to be at the forefront of the vein treatment revolution. Our team of board-certified vascular surgeons, with over 70 years of combined experience and a track record of treating over 3,000 patients, offers a comprehensive range of minimally invasive procedures designed to provide lasting relief from CVI.
Why Choose Columbus Vascular Vein & Aesthetics?
- Experienced and Compassionate Care: Our dedicated team is committed to providing personalized, compassionate care. We understand the impact CVI can have on your life, and we’ll work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
- State-of-the-Art Technology: We utilize the latest minimally invasive technologies like Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), to ensure precise treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Convenient and Accessible: We offer outpatient procedures, meaning you can return home the same day. We also accept nearly all insurance providers, including Medicare, to make our services readily accessible.
Unveiling Our Minimally Invasive Treatment Options for CVI:
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Similar to EVLT, RFA uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close the vein. This treatment is also minimally invasive and offers excellent results with minimal downtime.
- Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy: This technique involves injecting a solution into the affected vein, causing it to collapse and fade. Ultrasound guidance ensures precise placement of the solution for optimal results.
- Sclerotherapy Injections: For smaller spider veins associated with CVI, sclerotherapy injections effectively eliminate these visible veins, improving both the appearance and health of your legs.
- Varithena Vein Treatment: This advanced treatment utilizes a specialized foam to close the Great Saphenous Vein, a major vein in the leg often affected by CVI. Varithena is a highly effective, minimally invasive option for addressing this condition.
Experience the Benefits of Minimally Invasive Treatments:
- Quick Recovery Times: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment.
- Minimal Discomfort: These procedures involve minimal discomfort, and most patients experience little to no pain.
- High Success Rates: Minimally invasive treatments have high success rates in alleviating CVI symptoms and improving leg appearance.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: These procedures carry a much lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.

Beyond Treatment: Maintaining Healthy Leg Veins
While minimally invasive treatments are highly effective in addressing CVI, there are steps you can take to maintain healthy leg veins and minimize the risk of recurrence:
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight puts additional strain on your leg veins.
- Exercise Regularly: Physical activity promotes healthy circulation.
- Elevate Your Legs: Prop up your legs whenever possible to reduce pressure on your veins.
- Avoid Prolonged Sitting or Standing: If your job requires you to sit or stand for extended periods, take breaks to move around.
- Wear Compression Stockings as Recommended: Your vascular specialist may recommend wearing compression stockings for additional support.
