Treatment for vein problems have advanced dramatically over the past 5 years. Dr. Baugham uses only state-of-the-art, proven therapies in treating veins. These include laser closure of large veins, injection therapy and minimally invasive surgical treatments. These can be performed in the office under local anesthesia with little or no discomfort.

Dr. Baugham uses a state-of-the-art laser to close down problem veins right in the office. The treatment area is made numb with local anesthesia and then safe, effective laser energy is delivered into the vein wall causing it to collapse and seal shut. Once the abnormal vein is sealed, normal veins take over and redirect the blood flow. Best of all, this procedure requires few or no stitches and offers minimal or no scarring. Patients can walk out of the office after treatment and resume normal activities in just a few days.

Preoperative Investigation
A history and physical by Dr. Baugham is used initially to assess the problem and possible etiologies. This is then usually supplemented by a state-of-the-art venous ultrasound examination that provides a detailed "road map" of the superficial and deep veins in the lower extremity to aid in planning the best course of treatment.
