CoolTouch CTEV™

If you have bulging varicose veins, or leg symptoms such as pain, aching, swelling, cramping or restless legs, you may suffer from a more serious condition called superficial venous insufficiency. If indicated, we may perform duplex ultrasound, a painless test to examine your leg veins and identify and delineate any venous disease. For the treatment of this condition, Dr. Karen offers the latest technology, Cool Touch endovenous ablation (CTEV™), a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that delivers laser energy inside the dysfunctional vein causing it to disappear. Blood is then re-routed to functional vessels. This procedure improves the appearance and symptoms of varicose veins, minimizing progression of venous disease. Patients may resume normal activities, including light exercise, immediately.
