What is Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy?
Ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is a new and exciting treatment to eliminate small to medium sized varicose veins. Utilizing the expertise of a highly trained vein specialist, a tiny needle is precisely advanced under ultrasound guidance into the varicose vein. The vein is then injected with medication which causes the vein to close. The vein is then eliminated by the body over the weeks to months ahead. Typically multiple varicose veins are treated in one session.
This minimally invasive treatment requires no incisions. It is safe, comfortable, and highly effective. While this procedure alone is enough to get rid of smaller veins, individuals with large varicose veins may need to seek a different treatment method first.
How Long Does it Take?
The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour to complete, but you should plan to set aside an additional 30 minutes right after treatment to go for a casual walk. This ensures that your blood is flowing normally. You are then free to return to work and most normal activities.
What are the Benefits of Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy?
- No incisions
- No scars
- No tumescent anesthesia
- No bandages (just compression stockings)
- Minimal downtime
Compared to other varicose vein removal procedures, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy has a number of unique benefits. First of all, since there are no incisions, there are no scars. This can be very important to people who are striving for the best cosmetic outcome.
Another advantage of ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is that no bandages are needed after the procedure. You just put on compression stockings and go about your daily business. Most people will not be able to tell that you had anything done.
Downtime after the procedure is minimal. Immediately after the procedure you will be asked to walk for about a half hour, to help distribute the medication in the affected veins. You can then return to work and most other normal activities immediately afterwards. While there are some minor restrictions on activity for about a week after treatment, you are soon back to doing everything that you love and is important to you.
Am I a Good Candidate?
While ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy is an excellent treatment in many circumstances, it is not ideal for everyone. It really depends upon your anatomy, including the sizes of your varicose veins, the location of your varicose veins, and what is going on below the skin surface (as seen on ultrasound) . It also depends upon your goals, both medically and cosmetically. In general, it is not a one size fits all world and it is best to choose the treatment that most fulfills your needs and benefits you.
During your consultation appointment, Dr. Rayman will examine your varicose veins, as well as your current state of health and medical history when helping you to decide if ultrasound guided sclerotherapy is right for you.

Amazing job

Category: vein treatmentsOk so I know I left a review before, but I’m at the gym working out right now and I see my legs in the mirror, particularly the right leg, and all I can say is DAMN, MY LEG LOOKS SO GREAT! And all that vascular pain from standing and working behind a salon chair is GONE!!! Thank you again Dr. Raymond and everyone at Beach Cities Vein and Vascular Center! I’m so happy with everything you did and it was worth every penny. To me, you did the impossible, and I’m so not kidding. I had been to two other vein “specialists” over the last 15 years they didn’t even come close to what Dr. Raymond could do. So again thank you!
Fantastic

Look No Further than Doctor Rayman!

Category: vein treatmentsAt age 29, I had a growing varicose vein on my ankle that made me feel so insecure and like everyone was looking at my “monster vein” (lol). I was about to turn 30 in a few months so I started looking up places to help me get rid of my unsightly vein. When I found this site online I immediately made an appointment. I was excited, but also very nervous as I have never had any sort of medical procedure before. However, once i got to the office everyone is SO kind and quick to answer any questions, I felt like I really made the right choice with Dr. Rayman. Marlene was with me through a lot of my appointments, doing my ultrasounds and pictures-she does a great job and is so sweet! Dr. Rayman is one of the nicest doctors I have met. He immediately made me feel comfortable not only due to his extensive knowledge but also due to the fact that he really cared about me, my issue and how to fix it. We went with the Endovenous Laser Treatment to treat the core problem of my “monster vein”. The procedure itself was relatively quick and definitely painless as my leg was completely numb! For me, as someone who gets grossed out easily, it was a mental game of not thinking too much about the procedure as it was happening lol! My mom was allowed to be in the room with me, I got to pick my favorite music, and honestly we all chatted the whole time. I went back for my second procedure, which was the injections into my soon-to-be-gone monster vein. This was also pretty painless for me besides some mild burning sensations initially after the injections. I wore the compression socks as directed and personally had no trouble with them. I had a little bit of a numb sensation where we did the EVLT, but that faded with time and I feel totally normal again. I just went back for 6 month check up appointment, and my monster vein is gone!!! I’m so incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Rayman and his team are so good at what they do, so kind, and SO WORTH IT. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent Experience!

Category: vein treatmentsYOUR SEARCH IS OVER! This review will be helpful to those who have delayed doing something about their varicose veins because of fear. If you are scared of needles, traumatized from past surgical procedures, and burdened by years of daily reminders of having painful, bothersome, and tired legs due to varicose veins, you do not need to worry anymore, nor do you need to suffer any longer from the physical and emotional pains that come with varicose veins thanks to Dr. Rayman and his exceptional medical practice. A bit of background: I had surgery 8 years ago by a surgeon to address varicose veins in my right leg -- a "real" surgery in a hospital operating room, with full general anesthesia. Not only were the surgery and its after effects painful and long lasting (including nerve damage), even more varicose veins started popping up about a couple years later. Due to that bad experience, I decided I would NEVER do anything about my varicose veins again, and that I was destined to live with the pain, discomfort, and ugliness. Fast forward 8 years, and the discomfort/pain, heaviness/throbbing, etc. were really getting to be a daily issue. Even people were coming up to me asking if my legs were hurting, because they looked like they felt! So I decided to do my due diligence and started to do a lot of research online (medical conditions, procedures, and various doctors). Thanks to Yelp, I found Dr. Rayman!! Being a bit gun shy, I called his office twice with tons of questions, and then proceeded to see him for TWO consultations (with my notepad full of questions). Each time, and with every interaction I had with him and his staff , I felt more and more at ease. Dr. Rayman showed me with the ultrasound exactly what my veins were doing and not doing. (And low and behold, the vein that was supposedly tied off 8 years ago was still there, bad as ever.) He and each one of his staff received me and my zillion questions with such respect, patience, compassion, and professionalism. Three weeks after my consultations, I had my radiofrequency ablation (RFA) done! Dr. Rayman and his staff are great, but I think they are able to show their personal best when actually performing the procedure -- during the procedure, there was wonderful bedside manner, nice music playing, excellent communication between doctor and patient and assistants, and obvious skill and confidence. Being embarrassingly afraid of needles, I must say it was really fine! I wanted to hug him when it was over, he was that great and showed that much care! I also appreciate his practical tips on how to distract myself when he was administering the numbing medication!! And considering it's just 3 days after my procedure and I've already made my appointment for Dr. Rayman to do my left leg (same condition), you've got to know that I'm completely satisfied, comfortable, and grateful. I told him, "Dr. Rayman, thank you for doing what you do!!!!"
