The Columbia Vein Center offers comprehensive treatment for symptomatic and cosmetic vein conditions with minimal patient discomfort.

In addition to other treatment modalities, we are pleased to offer the VNUS^® Closure procedure, for comprehensive management of vein disease.  The Closure procedure is a minimally invasive treatment alternative for patients with a condition known as superficial venous reflux, which often results in varicose veins and other painful symptoms.  Varicose veins are known for their distinctive blue color and bulging appearance on the skin.  Resembling large, elongated worms, they afflict an estimated 10%-20% of the adult population.  In the United States, that translates into 20-25 million people, the majority of whom are women.

Superficial venous reflux is a progressive condition and symptoms will worsen over time if left untreated. Additionally, the resultant varicose veins and smaller "spider veins" or telangiectasia can be cosmetically concerning as well as painful. In advanced cases, edema, swelling, and even skin ulcerations can develop.

A division of Columbia Surgical Specialists, the Columbia Vein Center was formed in 2006 to offer the latest in office based, minimally invasive, and painless treatments for superficial venous disease.
