This was miserable for her.  She was doing costly dressing changes several times daily and just wasn’t seeing any benefit.  We evaluated and found significant varicose vein disease contributing to her problem.  We performed endovenous laser ablation of her great and small saphenous veins.  Then, we performed several treatments of endovenous chemical ablation (ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy).  She diligently wore her compression stockings and the wound began to heal.  I just saw her today and she has made incredible progress as you can see.

I love seeing these wounds heal, but they must be treated with a multi-faceted approach.

This is what he looked like before any treatments:

Well, we performed endovenous laser ablation of his right great saphenous vein as well as his left anterior accessory saphenous vein and removed the bulging veins on both legs via ambulatory phlebectomy and ended up with some great results.  The following pictures show his legs at just 6 weeks after treatment.  Amazing!

He is reporting that his legs feel significantly better.  The fact that they look so great is just a bonus.
