Clear Skin
Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose and spider veins. It can clear your skin and make veins vanish.
Endovascular Surgery
A more modern approach to vascular surgery which allows the surgeon to operate from inside the lumen of the vessel via a puncture or a tiny incision. A minimally invasive way of treatment for a large variety of vascular conditions such as: aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, varicose veins and more.
- Shorter recovery times
- Less intra-operative risks
- Less complication rates
- Skin punctures instead of large incisions
- Avoids the need for general anesthesia
Open Vascular Surgery
The classical approach to vascular surgery which demands the access of the vessel from the outside. As a result, a cut down incision is necessary.
Its performance rate has been significantly reduced because of the development of endovascular methods. Despite the advantages of an endovascular procedure, in certain cases, an open vascular surgery is the only way for a successful treatment.
Modern Technology
For the success of most endovascular and open vascular procedures modern equipment is necessary. The following equipment are available for our patients in the fully equipped, modern hospitals that I cooperate with.
Duplex Ultrasound, Computer Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Tomography for accurate diagnostics.
Laser generator, hybrid operating theater with angiography equipment and a fully equipped catheterization laboratory with all the appropriate balloons, stents, guidewires and catheters to perform endovascular and hybrid (endovascular and open) procedures.
A Healthy Vascular System, The Key to a Healthy Life
Walk More
A walk a day can truly keep the doctor away. Walking and sport activities enhance the most necessary vascular functions of your body.
Don’t Smoke
Cigarette smoking is among the most important risk factors for peripheral arterial and coronary heart diseases. According to most recent studies, even 1 cigarette a day can damage your arteries.
Eat Healthy
Eating healthy food helps you achieve a good balance between “good” and “bad” cholesterol. It can also protect your vessels from narrowing.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Peripheral Artery Disease
Treated either by an endovascular procedure of balloon angioplasty or stenting of the lesion, or by an open bypass surgery with vein or graft.
Arterial Aneurysm Disease
Treated either by a minimal invasive procedure (EVAR) when a stent graft is placed inside the aneurysm or by open repair of the aneurysm with prosthetic graft.
Carotid Artery Disease
An open procedure of carotid endarterectomy. It aims to prevent a stroke by removing the atherosclerotic plaque from the carotid artery.
Varicose Vein Disease
Minimal invasive treatment methods using laser, radio-frequency, biological glue under local anesthesia.
Reticular and Spider Veins

Frequently Asked Questions
Which method is the best for treatment of reticular and spider veins, sclerotherapy or laser?
How long do the patients need to wear elastic stockings after vein treatment?
After sclerotherapy the elastic compression period is 5 days.
May you treat both legs at the same time?
Are the results permanent? If not, how long does it last?
The veins that are being sclerosed don’t reappear. However, since venous insufficiency is a chronic disease there is a strong possibility that new veins can reappear at new spots or even at the ones that have been treated previously. The recurrence rate can be minimized with prophylactic measures, such as sport activity, avoiding of long standing, body weight management, use of elastic compression during long period of standing or sitting etc.
Which patients should perform a prophylactic scan of carotid arteries or check up for aneurysm disease?
Can sclerotherapy take place during pregnancy or breast feeding?
