The Long Island Vascular & Vein Center:
Your source for expert vein treatment
The Long Island Vascular & Vein Center, a leading Long Island vein clinic, offers advanced treatment for varicose veins and spider veins under the direction of Dr. Xenophon P. Xenophontos, a board-certified and fellowship-trained vascular surgeon.
If you have been delaying treatment for your spider veins and varicose veins because you are worried about invasive vein surgery or the inconvenience of a long recovery period, the Long Island Vascular & Vein Center can help. Until recently, invasive vein surgery known as "vein stripping" was the only choice for patients who wanted to get rid of veins. Now a variety of far less invasive vein treatments is available at our Long Island vein clinic, offering shorter recovery periods and less discomfort. There has never been a better time to take action to get rid of problem veins.
Vein treatment alternatives at the Long Island Vascular & Vein Center include a range of minimally-invasive options, including duplex ultrasound, sclerotherapy, ambulatory phlebectomy (or microphlebectomy), endovenous laser treatment, and transdermal laser therapy. Dr. Xenophontos will take the time to personally assess your condition and discuss the best treatment options for you to get rid of problem veins.

About varicose veins
Varicose veins – bulging, twisted, or ropy veins which usually appear on the legs – affect nearly 60% of Americans. Varicose veins develop when valves in a vein begin to fail, allowing blood to flow backwards and put pressure on the wall of the vein. Varicose veins are a medical condition, and frequently cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. They may indicate a progressive, chronic problem, and without medical care can develop into skin ulcers or blood clots. Although varicose veins affect men and women, women are at greater risk for developing this type of vein disease. Other risk factors include heredity, pregnancy, and prolonged periods of sitting or standing.
About spider veins
Spider veins, blue or red web-like veins, most often appear on the legs and face when a small group of blood vessels located just below the surface of the skin become dilated. Spider veins are often simply a cosmetic concern, but they may also be a symptom of the type of underlying vein disease that causes varicose veins. At our Long Island vein clinic, we can determine whether your spider veins signal an underlying medical condition. While spider veins are not painful like varicose veins, they can be embarrassing and may keep patients from participating in activities they enjoy.
