Boca Vein Center

The Boca Vein Center – A Leading Palm Beach / Broward County Vein Center

The Boca Vein Center, a leading Boca vein clinic, offers a variety of minimally invasive and effective treatments to help you get rid of veins, including varicose veins and spider veins. Our practice is headed by board-certified cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon Dr. Richard Kimmel, who personally performs all vein procedures for his patients. The Boca Vein Center offers free screenings, so you can get started on the path to treating your varicose veins or spider veins and looking and feeling your best again.

A few years ago, the most common way to get rid of varicose veins was an invasive surgical process known as vein stripping. Performed under general anesthesia, vein stripping involves tying off and then surgically removing all or part of the varicose vein. Recovery from vein stripping can take up to several weeks and vein stripping can result in unsightly and painful bruising and scarring.

Luckily, today there are a variety of new procedures to help you get rid of varicose veins and spider veins. As a leading Boca vein clinic, we offer many of the most advanced vein treatments available today, including ambulatory phlebectomy, sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment, and surface laser vein treatment, all of which are performed in the comfort and privacy of our Boca vein clinic. Our advanced treatment options allow you to get rid of veins, often in less than an hour, and be back on your feet as quickly as the next day. Come in today for a free screening and learn how easy it is to look and feel your best with new advancements in vein treatment technology!

What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins appear when valves in the veins start leaking or functioning improperly and blood pools below them. This is known as venous reflux disease, and in addition to being a cosmetic issue, can lead to serious medical problems if left untreated. Varicose veins appear enlarged, bumpy, and ropy. Symptoms include pain, swelling, aching in the legs, and in severe cases, restricted blood flow to the heart or blood clots in the legs.

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are small blue and red vessels that appear near the surface of the skin, usually on the face and legs. They are not always an indicator that a patient has venous reflux disease, and can be caused by trauma such as bruising or surgery or hormone levels. Dr. Kimmel may perform an ultrasound prior to treatment of spider veins in order to ensure that he takes the best and most complete course of treatment for each patient.
