Varicose Vein Treatments
You don’t have to live with the aching, swelling, and visible veins that keep you from enjoying your life. Colorado Skin & Vein’s advanced, minimally invasive treatments eliminate varicose veins at the source—restoring both comfort and appearance.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins affect millions of Americans every year. This painful and unsightly condition occurs when healthy veins, typically in your legs, become damaged. The valves within a varicose vein do not close properly, causing blood to pool in that vein.
Varicose vein treatment aims to address the underlying cause of the faulty valves and reduce the appearance of varicose veins. The team at Colorado Skin & Vein uses modern minimally invasive treatments such as endovenous radio frequency ablation (EVRF), endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), Microphlembectomy, and other options.With over 20 years of specialized experience and state-of-the-art laser technology, we restore healthy circulation and help you return to the activities you love.

Dr. David Verebelyi and his staff at the Colorado Skin and Vein are incredible. I had several veins in my legs and feet that were not working properly which caused a lot of swelling in my feet and ankles. At my initial appointment Dr. Verebelyi explained the process and procedures that he would do over a four-day period. Everything went exactly as he described. I feel like I have been given a new lease on life to be able to walk without my feet being so swollen.

I spent months seeing various doctors trying to figure out the bruise like marks on my legs. I finally came to CSV and Dr Verebelyi and his team diagnosed my issue as a problem with my veins and the valves/reflux. They have lasers to treat the side effects but were able to treat the underlying cause. Every procedure I had was comfortable and super easy. All of the staff and employees at this clinic were very professional, kind, and enjoyable to work with, which reflects positively on the doctor and practice. I finally found a clinic that can treat all of my issues in one setting and their lasers actually work. Thank you everyone!

Your Varicose Veins Questions Answered
What exactly are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins caused by failed valves that allow blood to flow backward and pool. This creates visible, bulging veins beneath the skin—most commonly in the legs where gravity exerts maximum pressure.
Are varicose veins dangerous?
While not immediately life-threatening, untreated varicose veins are progressive and can lead to serious complications including chronic swelling, skin changes, venous ulcers, superficial thrombophlebitis, and rarely, deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Early treatment prevents progression.
How do I know if I need treatment?
Seek evaluation if you experience persistent leg aching, heaviness, swelling, nighttime cramping, visible bulging veins, skin changes around ankles, or any symptoms affecting your quality of life. Our specialists use diagnostic ultrasound to assess severity.
Which varicose vein treatment is right for me?
Your personalized treatment plan depends on vein size, location, symptom severity, medical history, and lifestyle factors. During your consultation, we perform comprehensive ultrasound evaluation and recommend the most effective treatment combination for your specific condition.
Do varicose vein treatments hurt?
Modern varicose vein treatments are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Most patients report minimal discomfort during procedures and only mild soreness afterward—far less than traditional vein stripping surgery.
How long does treatment take?
Most procedures take 30–60 minutes. Endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, and VenaSeal typically require one session per vein. Sclerotherapy may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
What is recovery like?
Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. You’ll walk immediately after treatment to promote circulation. Avoid strenuous exercise for 1–2 weeks. Compression stockings may be recommended for several days to optimize healing.
Will my varicose veins come back?
Treated veins are permanently closed and will not return. However, venous insufficiency is progressive, and new varicose veins may develop in other locations over time. Maintaining healthy weight, staying active, and wearing compression when needed help minimize recurrence.
Is varicose vein treatment covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover medically necessary vein treatments when conservative measures have been tried and symptoms impact quality of life. Our team handles insurance verification, pre-authorization, and works to maximize your coverage.
Can I treat spider veins and varicose veins at the same time?
Yes. We often combine treatments to address both underlying venous insufficiency and cosmetic spider vein concerns in a comprehensive treatment plan. Treating larger varicose veins first often reduces spider vein appearance.
Do I need to see my primary doctor first?
No referral is necessary. However, we do recommend notifying your primary care physician about your treatment, especially if you have cardiovascular conditions or take blood-thinning medications.
