Reply to Deborah's Post: Thanks for your reply. The vein that is troubling is I don't believe superficial. The pain and red swelling are on the ankle and just above for about 4 x5" area. Do you think I might be a condidate for this procedure, and, if so, are there any specialist in this area? Thanks www.georgene28@earthlink.net How do I make a donation?

It is worth getting a consult to determine if you would be a candidate. Sometimes, the vein is too deep to be effectively treated with this method, but an exam would provide you with treatment options.

Call toll-free (888) 797-8346 to obtain a list of physicians near you that perform this procedure.
