The treatment is safe, efficient, and performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"1112\">\n<\/p><h2 data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1167\">Common Reasons for Endovenous Treatment:<\/h2>\n<ul data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1366\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1206\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1171\" data-end=\"1206\">Painful or bulging varicose veins<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1235\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1235\">Leg heaviness or fatigue<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1270\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1270\">Swelling in the legs or ankles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1295\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1295\">Nighttime leg cramps<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1328\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1328\">Skin discoloration or ulcers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1366\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1366\">Cosmetic improvement of leg veins<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab9e4e0 elementor-align-center epicenvent elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ab9e4e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjIwOTc4IiwidG9nZ2xlIjpmYWxzZX0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Schedule Your Appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bbc825 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0bbc825\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1444\">How the Procedure Works<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1847\">During the procedure, a thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein through a small incision. Using ultrasound guidance, energy is delivered through the catheter to heat and collapse the vein wall. The treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body, while nearby healthy veins take over blood flow. The entire process takes about 30\u201360 minutes and offers fast recovery with little to no downtime.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"1912\">Why Choose EPIC Heart for Varicose Vein Treatment?<\/h2>\n<ul data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"2238\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"1965\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1916\" data-end=\"1965\">Same-day consultations and treatments available<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"2019\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1968\" data-end=\"2019\">Performed by board-certified vascular specialists<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2065\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2065\">Minimally invasive and virtually painless<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2066\" data-end=\"2119\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2068\" data-end=\"2119\">State-of-the-art technology and sterile technique<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2178\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2122\" data-end=\"2178\">Three convenient locations in the Greater Houston area<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2238\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2181\" data-end=\"2238\">Most major insurance plans accepted, including Medicare<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2414\">If you suffer from the discomfort or appearance of varicose veins, our skilled team is here to help you feel and look your best with advanced, personalized treatment options.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7db38a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7db38a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"\" data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2480\">Varicose Vein Treatment Near Me \u2013 Locations We Serve<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2482\" data-end=\"2594\">Get expert endovenous ablation &amp; occlusion services close to home at one of our accredited vascular centers:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2596\" data-end=\"2622\">Houston Location<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2623\" data-end=\"2688\">17070 Red Oak Dr #405, Houston, TX 77090<br data-start=\"2666\" data-end=\"2669\">(832) 432-1951<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2690\" data-end=\"2730\">Tomball \/ Willowbrook Location<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2731\" data-end=\"2799\">155 School St, Suite 220, Tomball, TX 77375<br data-start=\"2777\" data-end=\"2780\">(832) 304-2070<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2801\" data-end=\"2841\">Richmond \/ Sugar Land Location<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2842\" data-end=\"2919\">6534 Greatwood Parkway, Unit A, Sugar Land, TX 77479<br data-start=\"2897\" data-end=\"2900\">(832) 645-8992<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd1727a elementor-align-center epicenvent elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"cd1727a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjIwOTc4IiwidG9nZ2xlIjpmYWxzZX0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book a Heart Screening Today<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61c6425 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"61c6425\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66a4462 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66a4462\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"httpsepicheartandvascular.com (1)\" alt=\"Dr. M.
