Varicose Vein Clinic in Georgia - Diagnosis, Treatment & Relief

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, sometimes twisted veins visible beneath the skin, most commonly appearing in the lower legs, ankles, and feet. They develop when the one-way valves inside your leg veins weaken or fail, allowing blood to flow backward and pool under increasing pressure. Over time, that pressure stretches and distorts the vein walls.

Common Causes & Risk Factors

• Family history — varicose veins often run in families
• Prolonged standing or sitting — increases venous pressure in the legs
• Pregnancy and multiple births — hormonal changes and increased blood volume
• Age — valves weaken naturally over time
• Excess body weight — adds pressure to leg veins

Symptoms That Signal It's Time to See a Varicose Veins Specialist

• Heaviness, aching, burning, or tiredness in your legs
• Visible blue or purple bulging veins under the skin
• Swelling in the feet and ankles
• Itching or skin irritation over a vein
• Skin color changes or dry, thinned skin around the ankle
• Leg cramps or restless legs, especially at night

These symptoms tend to worsen after long periods of standing or sitting. Don't ignore them — untreated venous disease typically progresses rather than resolves on its own.

Varicose Vein Treatment at Our Varicose Vein Center

At Truffles Vein Specialists, every treatment plan begins with a detailed vascular ultrasound performed by our registered sonographers. We don't guess — we diagnose. Then we match the right procedure to your specific condition.

Radiofrequency Ablation — Gold-Standard Varicose Vein Repair

Radiofrequency ablation is the primary treatment for venous insufficiency. A thin catheter is guided into the affected saphenous vein using ultrasound, then controlled heat energy closes the vein from the inside. No cuts, no stitches, no general anesthesia — most patients return to normal activity the same day.

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

Endovenous laser therapy uses laser energy to close diseased veins with precision. Like RFA, it's minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia, and leaves no surgical scars. Our varicose doctor selects the right energy modality based on your individual ultrasound findings.

Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy & Varicose Removal

Sclerotherapy is the standard secondary treatment following ablation. A sclerosant solution is injected directly into the varicose vein, causing it to close and fade. For larger bulging tributaries we use foam sclerotherapy or microphlebectomy — because proper varicose removal means treating every abnormal vein, not just the main trunk.

VenaSeal — Non-Thermal Vein Closure

VenaSeal uses a medical-grade adhesive to seal the diseased vein — no heat, no injections of local anesthetic around the vein. Truffles Vein Specialists was the first practice in Georgia to offer VenaSeal, and Medtronic has designated our clinic a Regional Center of Excellence for this procedure.
