Ambulatory Phlebectomy: Effective Removal of Varicose Veins at Go Vascular
What is Ambulatory Phlebectomy?
At Go Vascular, Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove varicose veins that are close to the skin’s surface. It is especially effective for treating large, bulging veins, offering immediate results with minimal downtime. This outpatient procedure ensures improved vein health and enhanced appearance.
How Does Ambulatory Phlebectomy Work?
The procedure at Go Vascular involves making tiny incisions along the affected vein. Through these incisions, the problematic vein is gently removed using specialized tools. The small cuts are so minor that they typically don’t require stitches and leave little to no scarring. The treatment restores proper circulation by redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
