How Ultrasound Helps Personalize Varicose Vein Treatment

Your veins could be hiding more than you think. A vein ultrasound isn’t just a scan—it’s the key to uncovering hidden vein disease, guiding precise treatment, and preventing future complications. If you have varicose veins, this quick, painless test is the first step to healthier legs and lasting relief.

Vein ultrasounds are a high-tech, noninvasive imaging tool that helps pinpoint the exact cause of your vein issues. At South Austin Vein Center, renowned vein disease expert Dr. Michael Di Iorio uses advanced ultrasound technology to ensure a precise diagnosis in our two offices in Austin, TX. His extensive training in diagnostic radiology and multiple advanced ultrasound certifications ensure you get the most accurate assessment and treatment options available.

Why Ultrasound is Essential for Vein Treatment

The correct diagnosis is the foundation of successful varicose vein treatment. Ultrasound can:

• Find Hidden Problems: While some varicose veins are easy to see, there could be other diseased veins beneath the skin surface. An ultrasound identifies those damaged or malfunctioning veins.
• Evaluate Blood Flow: During a vein ultrasound, we can check the blood flow in and out of your veins in real-time.
• Diagnose Other Vascular Conditions: A vein ultrasound can help detect other vascular conditions, like deep vein thrombosis and peripheral arterial disease.

Unlike a visual exam alone, a vein ultrasound gives a complete picture of how your veins function.

How We Use Ultrasound to Personalize Your Treatment

No two cases of varicose veins are identical, so a customized vein treatment approach is essential. Ultrasound helps us determine which treatment best addresses your vein issues and provides long-term symptom relief. We offer comprehensive vein treatment solutions, including:

• Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation: Uses heat energy to close diseased veins
• VenaSeal™: Seals problematic veins with a medical adhesive
• Foam Sclerotherapy (Varithena®): Treats smaller varicose veins with a specialized foam
• Ambulatory Microphlebectomy: Removes larger varicose veins through tiny incisions

By pinpointing the location and severity of your vein disease, we can develop a treatment plan that relieves symptoms and prevents future complications.
