Does this sound like your typical evening?
After a long day, you collapse onto the couch, desperate to elevate your legs. They feel heavy, like they’re filled with lead. There’s a persistent, dull ache that just won’t quit, and maybe a throbbing that keeps you awake at night.
You find yourself hiding your legs in long pants, even during the beautiful Colorado summer, embarrassed by bulging, twisting varicose veins. But worst of all, you’ve started saying “no” to the things that make living here so special:
- Declining walks with your spouse because your legs are just too tired.
- Staying home instead of walking the dog along the local trails.
- Watching your family head out to ski, hike, or stroll downtown while you stay behind to rest.
Imagine Your ‘Dream Vacation’ from Leg Pain…
Close your eyes and picture what life looks like when you remove the physical burden of diseased veins:
- ✨ Wake up energized, with legs that feel light, fresh, and ready for the day.
- 🏔️ Stroll along the local trails or walk your dog for miles without having to stop and rest.
- ⛷️ Reclaim your active lifestyle—skiing, hiking, and exploring the Western Slope without pain holding you back.
- 🌅 Enjoy evening strolls with your significant other, fully present in the moment rather than focused on your aching legs.
The Easy, Painless Bridges to Your Active Life
You might be putting off treatment because you remember the painful, invasive “vein stripping” surgeries of the past. Those days are gone. Today, we use modern, minimally invasive procedures that are performed right in our comfortable office:
1. BD Venclose™ System (Radiofrequency Ablation)
This state-of-the-art system uses gentle radiofrequency energy to close the diseased vein. The procedure takes only 30 to 45 minutes, requires only local numbing, and has virtually no downtime. The closed vein naturally absorbs, and blood is redirected to healthy veins, providing rapid relief.
2. Varithena (Injectable Microfoam)
A highly effective, needle-free treatment option. We administer a specialized microfoam directly into the diseased vein, causing it to collapse and close safely. This is an incredibly comfortable, quick, in-office procedure that gets you back on your feet immediately.
What to Expect (Walk-In, Walk-Out)
- 🚀 Fast in-office visits: Done in under an hour so you can resume your day.
- 🚶 Immediate mobility: You can walk out of the office immediately after the procedure.
- 🩹 Comfortable recovery: No heavy bandages or surgical scars—only simple medical-grade compression stockings are required to support your quick healing.
- 💳 Medicare & Insurance Coverage: Most treatments are medically necessary and fully covered by Medicare and major insurance plans.
