Are bulging, painful varicose veins making it hard to feel comfortable in your own skin? Varicose Vein Removal at Arête Health Group is a minimally invasive procedure that removes damaged surface veins, relieving discomfort, improving circulation, and restoring smoother, healthier-looking legs so you can move through your day with greater ease.
Eliminate Bulging
Leg Veins Effectively
Varicose Vein Removal is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove visible varicose veins just beneath the skin. Performed through tiny, precise incisions, it allows your provider to gently extract damaged veins without major surgery. This treatment targets veins that cause discomfort, swelling, or cosmetic concerns, especially in the legs. Because it’s done with local anesthesia, you can return home the same day with minimal downtime and noticeable relief.
Varicose Vein Removal Treats:
- Bulging varicose veins near the surface of the skin
- Painful, aching leg veins that worsen with standing
- Heaviness or fatigue in the legs caused by vein dysfunction
- Swelling in the lower legs related to poor circulation
- Twisted, enlarged veins that are visible and uncomfortable
- Localized inflammation or tenderness around damaged veins
- Skin irritation or discoloration from chronic vein issues
- Residual surface veins after other vein treatments
How Varicose Vein Removal Works
Varicose Vein Removal involves physically removing damaged surface veins that no longer function effectively. After numbing the area with local anesthesia, your provider makes micro-incisions along the vein. Using specialized hooks, the vein is gently lifted and extracted in sections. Because these veins are already malfunctioning, your body naturally reroutes blood through healthier veins deeper in the leg. This improves overall circulation, reduces pressure in the affected area, and relieves symptoms like pain, swelling, and heaviness.

FAQs
Is Varicose Vein Removal Painful?
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Your provider uses local anesthesia to fully numb the treatment area, so you may only feel slight pressure or movement. Afterward, mild soreness or bruising is normal, but it typically resolves within a few days.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many veins are being treated. Because it’s performed in an outpatient setting, you’ll be able to return home the same day without the need for a hospital stay.
What is Recovery Like?
Recovery is generally quick. You’ll be encouraged to walk immediately after treatment to support healthy circulation. Most people return to normal daily activities within a day or two, though you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for a short period.
Will the Veins Come Back After Treatment?
The veins removed during a varicose vein removal are permanently gone. However, vein disease is progressive, meaning new varicose veins can develop over time. Ongoing care and follow-up visits help monitor your vein health and address any future concerns early.
Will There Be Visible Scars?
Because the procedure uses very small incisions, scarring is minimal and barely noticeable once healed. Over time, these tiny marks typically fade and blend into your natural skin tone, especially when proper aftercare is followed.
