Welcome to Miami Vein Center! Varicose veins take away from the beauty and appearance of your legs. Perhaps more importantly, varicose veins produce significant symptoms and can lead to serious medical conditions. The good news is that varicose veins can be removed quickly, with minimal discomfort, in a doctor's office. There is no need for hospitalization and the recovery time is measured in minutes, not weeks. Almost immediately, you will be able to do all the things you did before you developed varicose veins.

While this may sound too good to be true, the expert staff at the Miami Vein Center using clinically proven new technology called endovenous therapy can eliminate your varicose veins with a minimally invasive procedure in the comfort and security of our office. The procedure takes about 45 minutes and the recovery period is about 10 minutes. In about an hour you can be free of your varicose veins. You will be able to return to normal activities the very next day.

The future of vein care is in Miami. Please do not hesitate to call the Miami Vein Center if you have any questions or concerns. We are here for you!

Services Offered

Since 2000, vein stripping has been replaced by endovenous closure procedures as the preferred treatment of patients with symptoms related to saphenous vein and other superficial venous insufficiency. Many patients once thought to have untreatable venous problems may now be excellent candidates for endovenous closure. Dr. Almeida offers both VNUS radiofrequency and LASER vein closure procedures. He is also very skilled in microphlebectomy (removal of large ropey veins through tiny incisions) as well as treatment of all types of smaller varicose and spider veins with sclerotherapy (injections or laser).
