This is a patient who had some painful and achy veins on the back of the knee. These were treated with ambulatory phlebectomy. While there are still some small visible reticular veins, the majority of the bulging veins are gone after one treatment session. Additional treatment sessions could be utilized with sclerotherapy to clean up the remnant reticular veins if desired.
