Varicose Vein Treatment

Advanced varicose vein treatment with minimally invasive techniques in Forest Hills, Queens

About Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose veins affect millions of Americans and are more than just a cosmetic concern — they can cause significant pain, swelling, heaviness, and skin changes that worsen without treatment. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group in Forest Hills, Queens, Dr. Amir Salem provides comprehensive varicose vein evaluation and treatment using the latest minimally invasive techniques. Our Forest Hills office offers advanced vein mapping with duplex ultrasound to identify the root cause of your vein disease, followed by targeted treatment options including endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), sclerotherapy, and ambulatory phlebectomy. These procedures are performed in-office with local anesthesia, require no hospital stay, and allow most patients to return to normal activities the same day or next day. Dr. Salem treats the underlying venous insufficiency — not just the visible veins — ensuring lasting results and preventing recurrence. If you are in Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens, or anywhere in Queens and suffering from painful, swollen, or unsightly veins, M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group can help you find relief.

What to Expect

Your varicose vein consultation begins with a thorough examination and duplex ultrasound vein mapping at our Forest Hills office. Dr. Salem will explain the underlying cause of your vein problems, the severity of your venous disease, and all available treatment options. Most procedures take 30-60 minutes, use only local anesthesia, and you walk out the same day. Compression stockings are typically worn for 1-2 weeks after treatment.

Who Is This For?

Adults in Forest Hills and Queens experiencing visible varicose veins, leg pain, swelling, heaviness, cramping, restless legs, skin discoloration, or non-healing leg wounds caused by venous insufficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes varicose veins?
Varicose veins develop when the one-way valves inside your veins weaken or fail, allowing blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Risk factors include age (over 50), family history, prolonged standing or sitting, pregnancy, obesity, and hormonal changes. The underlying condition is called venous insufficiency.
Are varicose veins dangerous?
While many varicose veins are primarily a cosmetic concern, untreated venous insufficiency can lead to serious complications including chronic leg swelling, skin changes and discoloration, venous ulcers (non-healing wounds), blood clots (superficial thrombophlebitis), and bleeding from fragile veins. Early treatment prevents these complications.
What is endovenous laser ablation (EVLA)?
EVLA is a minimally invasive procedure where Dr. Salem inserts a thin laser fiber into the damaged vein through a tiny puncture. Laser energy heats and seals the vein closed, and blood reroutes through healthy veins. The procedure takes about 45 minutes, uses local anesthesia, and you walk out the same day.
How much does varicose vein treatment cost with insurance?
Most insurance plans including Medicare cover varicose vein treatment when medically necessary (causing symptoms like pain, swelling, or skin changes). Our Forest Hills office team will verify your coverage and explain any costs before scheduling. Call (718) 897-2228 to check your benefits.
How long do varicose vein treatment results last?
Modern vein treatments have success rates above 95%. Treated veins are permanently closed. However, new varicose veins can develop over time, especially if risk factors persist. Wearing compression stockings and maintaining a healthy weight help prevent recurrence.
