Why Choose The Circulatory Centers for Vein Treatment?
For over twenty years the doctors at The Circulatory Centers have cultivated a reputation as quality providers of the latest effective treatment for varicose and spider veins. Our network of satellite medical clinics in western Pennsylvania and northern Ohio enable us to provide many convenient locations for treatment. All treatments are done on an out-patient ambulatory basis and are covered under most major health insurance plans.

What is Involved in the Treatment?
The Circulatory Centers have perfected the use of sclerotherapy (small injections) for small to medium sized varicose veins and couples this with minor ambulatory outpatient surgery for larger varicose veins.

In order to effectively treat the large varicose veins, a procedure where the veins are surgically ligated is preformed. This is accomplished with PIN Stripping, a simple inversion procedure that leaves only 1/8 of an inch scar on the upper medial calf. The PIN inversion removal technique is much less traumatic to the skin and subcutaneous structures in the leg than "cut and tie" stripping. It produces little pain and will not result in unsightly scars. The risk of delayed healing, post-operative infection, lymphedema, or nerve injury is virtually nil with this surgical technique. The surgery itself is a simple procedure taking only 30-45 minutes to complete in most cases. Compression sclerotherapy of distal varicosities is very effective with the added benefit of a great cosmetic outcome. Those patients with only minor varicose veins who do not have junctional incompetence can be successfully treated with compression sclerotherapy alone achieving the same excellent results.
