VARICOSE VEIN TREATMENT
Has Never Been Easier!
It’s not even the end of the day and you can’t wait to sit down and put your feet up. The heaviness, aching and throbbing you feel in your lower extremities may even be clearly visible by the bluish trails along your legs. If so, you probably dislike what you see as much as the discomfort it causes.
Every spring many women and men alike stand looking in the mirror deciding “Pants or shorts?” When they look down at their legs they are reminded of how self-conscious they are of their unattractive Varicose and Spider Veins. Vein disease is extremely common. Left untreated, vein problems only get worse over time.
To fully evaluate your venous system, an ultrasound of the leg veins is nearly always needed and is required by insurance companies to establish medical necessity. The exception is if your vein problem is only cosmetic in nature.
EXPECTATIONS Of Your Visit:
A treatment plan that is right for you.
A diagnosis that you can understand.
All questions answered to your satisfaction.
A simple explanation of the benefits and risks of any procedures recommended.
Referral to another specialist, if your problem is not vein related.
Properly fitted compression garments if needed.
Welcome to my practice.
Thank you for visiting Vein Specialists of the Carolinas where we treat much more than varicose and spider veins, like phlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, leg swelling and more.
I have assembled a team of professionals. Together we are committed to providing our patients with state of the art treatment for every problem of the venous system.
It is our goal to conduct a comprehensive review of your leg vein problem in order to determine the proper vein treatment for you at the initial consultation. We perform a complete venous leg ultrasound, measure your legs for accurate fitting of compression garments, and take detailed digital images of your legs. Dr. Draughn reviews the results of the ultrasound with you and constructs a detailed treatment plan at this initial visit.
It is our desire for you leave this visit with:
- A diagnosis that you can understand
- A treatment plan that is right for you
- A simple explanation of the benefits and risks of any procedures recommended
- All questions answered to your satisfaction
- Properly fitted compression garments if needed
- Referral to another specialist, if your problem is not vein related.
- A smile
The venous system is very complex. Treatment for some people is nothing more than a few injections for spider veins at their first visit. For others with more significant venous problems, it is a step by step process requiring several visits. Some may require lifelong management.
All of the procedures are simple, safe, effective and performed in the office.

Sclerotherapy
Tiny injections of medication directly into the blood vessel causing them to shrink and close.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Varicose vein treatment, also known as ClosureFast TM, uses radiofrequency energy to cauterize and close varicose veins in the legs. … Endovenous ablation is safe, less invasive than conventional surgery, and leaves virtually no scars.
Venous Coil Embolization
Used when there are varicose veins in the pelvis causing significant pain (Pelvic Congestion Syndrome).
Micro-Phlebectomy
Removes large bulging varicose veins that look like twisty ropes on your legs.
Venoplasty & Stenting
A compressed or blocked major leg vein is opened with a balloon from inside the vein.
Inferior Vena Cava Filter (IVC)
Clarivein
Vein ablation using mechanical and chemical energy instead of heat to close the vein.
PharmacoMechancal Thrombectomy (PMT)
The latest technique of dissolving blood clots.
Venaseal
NTNT technology using the latest FDS approved product using cyanoacrylate glue to close veins.
NEW Varicose Vein Foam Treatment
New FDA approved foam is a commercial version of an older drug used to treat veins.

Treatment for some people is nothing more than a few injections for spider veins at their first visit.
Most patients will require several visits and others will require many.
For others with more significant venous problems, it is a slower step by step process.
For some, their problem requires lifelong management.
Although the venous system is very complex, and there are often multiple steps, all of the procedures are simple, safe, effective and performed in the office.
