Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy (UGS):
UGS is a method of treating small to medium sized varicose veins. While duplex ultrasound imaging demonstrates the abnormal veins, Dr. Elmore closes them with sclerotherapy.
For treatment of:
• bulging varicose veins

Endo venous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
This revolutionary new therapy has virtually eliminated the need for vein stripping surgery. Through a single needle stick, a fine laser fiber is inserted into a varicose vein. Laser energy is used to generate heat which seals the vein closed. Performed under local anesthesia, patients quickly resume their normal activities. ELVT is the best treatment for large bulging varicose veins. Dr. Elmore's published success rate for EVLT is higher than any other physician, anywhere in the world.
For treatment of :
• large bulging varicose veins

Vnus Closure®
This therapy is virtually identical to EVLT, except that the vein is closed with radiofrequency energy rather than laser energy. Dr. Elmore first introduced VNUS Closure® to the Central Valley. Unfortunately the published success rate for VNUS Closure (about 84%) is significantly lower than the success rate of EVLT (more than 98%).
For treatment of:
• large bulging varicose veins

Microsurgery
(Ambulatory Phlebectomy & Ligation)
Vastly different from the traditional vein stripping surgical procedure, microsurgery is a technique which utilizes special instruments to remove veins through a very few, very tiny, "micro" incisions. The incisions are so small that with normal healing one can scarcely find them on the leg.
For treatment of:
• bulging varicose veins

Laser therapy
Laser Therapy of spider veins is not recommended and is less effective than sclerotherapy. Unsightly skin spots can be removed with laser energy applied directly to the skin. Usually only a treatment or two is necessary.
For treatment of:
• cherry red spots (cherry angiomas)
