Microphlebectomy.

Tiny removal of bulging surface veins through pinhole incisions.

What is Microphlebectomy?

Microphlebectomy (also called ambulatory phlebectomy) removes large, bulging surface varicose veins through tiny pinhole incisions. It's typically combined with RFA, EVLA, or VenaSeal to address both the source and the visible veins in one comprehensive plan.

How does Microphlebectomy work?

Phlebectomy removes bulging surface veins through tiny skin incisions, providing immediate visual improvement.

The procedure involves:

  1. 01Bulging veins are mapped and marked while standing.
  2. 02Tiny 1–2 mm incisions are made along the vein.
  3. 03The vein segments are gently removed with a specialized hook.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microphlebectomy?

Phlebectomy is suitable for patients with large, visible surface veins that cause cosmetic or physical discomfort.

It is suitable for you if you have:

  • Large, ropey, visibly bulging surface veins
  • Patients who've already had source treatment
  • Cosmetically and symptomatically bothersome veins
Most patients qualify for insurance coverage.
