"The Trivex procedure is a minimally invasive technique to remove varicose veins. Find out more in this two-minute video clip. The operation requires at most 3 or 4mm incisions per leg.

A probe fitted with a light is placed into one incision. This illuminates the varicose veins in a particular area under the skin allowing the surgeon to see the veins with complete clarity. Then the veins are approached from another very short incision with a device much like a rotating blade that vacuums them up. Because all veins are visualized with the assistance of light, patients will receive a more complete removal of varicose veins which also lowers the chance of recurrence.

The procedure which usually takes less than a half hour has patients back on their feet relatively soon. "
