Microphlebectomy: Removing Varicose Veins With Tiny Incisions

How this precise technique removes bulging veins with virtually no scarring.

Microphlebectomy (also called ambulatory phlebectomy) is a technique for removing surface varicose veins through tiny 2-3mm incisions. The results are immediate, and the tiny incisions heal to become virtually invisible.

How It Works

1
Marking: Veins are marked while you're standing
2
Numbing: Local anesthesia along the vein path
3
Tiny Incisions: 2-3mm punctures—no stitches needed
4
Removal: Vein gently extracted with specialized hooks
5
Completion: Small bandages applied, compression stocking worn

Benefits of Microphlebectomy

Immediate Results

The vein is gone the moment it's removed

No Stitches

Tiny incisions close on their own

Minimal Scarring

Incisions become nearly invisible

Quick Recovery

Return to activities same day

Often Combined With Laser Ablation

Microphlebectomy is frequently performed along with endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for comprehensive treatment:

  • Laser ablation closes the main diseased vein (deep)
  • Microphlebectomy removes the bulging surface veins

What to Expect After

  • Walk immediately after the procedure
  • Wear compression stockings for 1-2 weeks
  • Some bruising is normal and fades quickly
  • Most people return to work the next day
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for about a week
