What is an ambulatory phlebectomy?

Is this the best treatment option for me?
One reason we recommend coming into our practice for an evaluation is because we offer a full range of different treatment options for treating varicose veins. While an ambulatory phlebotomy can be a great solution, it’s not the only option. We will need to take certain factors including your health and activity level into account when deciding which type of procedure is ideal for treating your varicose veins. Other options include sclerotherapy and radiofrequency ablation. We’d be happy to sit down with you during your consultation to discuss which option is ideal.
What is the recovery time like?
Since this procedure is minimally invasive, you’ll be able to go home the very same day and recovery time is very minimal. In fact, most people can return to their normal activities within 24 hours. Of course, you may be advised by our team to wear compression socks immediately after the procedure to boost blood flow and circulation in the legs.
