Are varicose veins making your legs ache, swell, or feel tired at the end of the day? Maybe you’ve delayed treatment because you’re worried about discomfort or downtime. ClariVein® is a gentle, minimally invasive vein treatment designed to close diseased veins with less discomfort and a faster recovery.
At Espinoza Vein Institute in Lexington, SC, Dr. Paul Espinoza and Dr. Jeffrey Mollé provide physician-led vein care tailored to your needs. With 21 years exclusively treating vein disease and 28 years of experience as a physician, Dr. Espinoza is a trusted leader in advanced varicose vein treatment.
What Is ClariVein?
ClariVein is an FDA-cleared treatment for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. It uses a specialized catheter that combines mechanical rotation with a medical solution to close unhealthy veins, without the use of heat.
Unlike endovenous ablation, ClariVein does not require tumescent anesthesia (multiple numbing injections along the vein). This makes it a comfortable option for many patients.
What Conditions Does ClariVein Treat?
ClariVein is used to treat:
- Varicose veins
- Venous reflux
- Leg swelling
- Aching, heaviness, or fatigue
- Skin changes related to vein disease
By treating the underlying vein dysfunction, ClariVein helps improve both symptoms and circulation.
Benefits of ClariVein
Patients often choose ClariVein because it offers:
- A minimally invasive, in-office procedure
- No heat energy
- Fewer injections compared to thermal treatments
- Minimal discomfort
- Little to no downtime
Most people return to normal daily activities within 24 hours. Walking right after the procedure is encouraged to promote healthy blood flow.
Are You a Candidate for ClariVein?
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have symptomatic varicose veins
- Have been diagnosed with venous insufficiency
- Prefer a non-thermal treatment option
- Want a quick recovery
At Espinoza Vein Institute, your evaluation includes a detailed ultrasound exam performed by a medical doctor. Our experienced doctors are Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) and Registered Phlebology Sonographer (RPhS), placing them among a select group of specialists in South Carolina with advanced ultrasound expertise.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your comfort and well-being are always a priority.
During ClariVein treatment:
- The treatment area is numbed at the entry point.
- A thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance.
- The device rotates while delivering a medical solution that closes the vein.
- The catheter is removed, and a small bandage is placed.
There are no large incisions and typically no stitches. You’ll wear compression stockings afterward to support healing and improve results.
Recovery and Results
Mild soreness or bruising may occur, but most patients describe the recovery as easy. Many notice improvement in leg heaviness and discomfort within weeks.
As the treated vein closes and is absorbed by the body, circulation improves. Over time, visible varicose veins fade, and your legs can feel lighter and more comfortable.
With a background in family medicine and venous disease, Dr. Espinoza takes a whole-health approach, looking beyond surface veins to understand your overall well-being, alongside Dr. Mollé’s expertise in general and vein surgery.
