A comprehensive vein treatment facility, Advanced Vascular Solutions provides relief for women and men who suffer from problems related to varicose and spider veins. These are usually caused by chronic venous insufficiency, an abnormal circulatory condition in the legs. This is one of the most common disorders in the U.S. today, affecting up to 50% of adults over 50, or 15 - 25% of all adults. If left untreated, it may lead to serious health problems. Symptoms include: pain, fatigue, heaviness, aching, burning, throbbing, swelling, cramping, itching, and restlessness. Severe varicose veins can compromise the nutrition of the skin and lead to eczema, inflammation, and ulceration.

Interventional Radiologist Dr. Gina Louie uses state-of-the-art equipment and the latest techniques — including Triplex Ultrasound and the Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), a highly effective and minimally invasive outpatient procedure — to evaluate and treat this unsightly and often painful condition.
