Diagnostic methods of a phlebologist:

Duplex scanning of veins is the main visualization method used by our phlebologists. Special linear sensors send and receive a sound wave in the range of 5-10 MHz.

It is possible to “see” a vessel, its walls, intravasal growths, measure its diameter and determine the function of its valves in any place. The non-invasiveness allows the phlebologist to continue the scanning indefinitely in time, perform it in different positions of the subject and repeat any number of times.

Treatment methods of a phlebologist

• Compression sclerotherapy of varicose veins using modern phlebosclerosing drugs and technologies;
• Medical compression;
• Pharmacological therapy;
• Physical methods of treatment (a specialist prescribes them to activate vascular motility, fight edema, for local anesthesia, relieve inflammation)
• Minimally invasive and surgical methods of treatment.

What happens during a phlebologist’s appointment

A phlebologist examines the patient, interviews him, performs investigations (ultrasound, duplex or triplex scanning of veins), reviews previous medical history. Then the doctor develops a treatment schedule with regard to the data obtained and the patient’s body individual peculiarities.
