Minimally Invasive Treatment

Dr. Vayuvegula’s comprehensive, minimally invasive approach includes ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy as well as endovenous laser treatment (ELT). Neither option requires hospitalization or surgery. Instead, each is performed in the physician's office. You can be back on your feet resuming normal activities the same day.

Dr. Vayuvegula is also now offering Veinwave™, an exciting new treatment for spider and fine thread veins of the legs and face. The introduction of our latest offering reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing our patients new and effective, minimally invasive treatment options.

Experience Matters

Dr. Vayuvegula is board certified in emergency medicine and phlebology. He was a member of the inaugural class to become certified by the American Board of Phlebology, recognizing him as one who has met rigorous standards of knowledge, skills, and experience to provide quality care to vein disease patients.

He earned his medical degree from Chicago Medical School in 1999 and completed his residency at Emory University School of Medicine and Affiliated Hospitals in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Vayuvegula’s interest in vein disease began during his residency when he noticed the lack of treatment options for people suffering from venous insufficiency ulcers. His interest increased when he learned that he was one of the 80 million Americans suffering from varicose vein disease.

Services:

Sclerotherapy is a microinjection procedure that needs no pain medication or surgery. Abnormal veins are treated by injecting a solution called a sclerosant, sealing the vein off from the rest of the vein network in your leg, allowing the body to naturally redirect the blood flow to healthy veins.

Endovenous laser treatment (ELT, or sometimes referred to as EVLT) is a quick, minimally invasive laser treatment that requires no hospitalization and no complicated surgery. A small optic fiber is inserted through a needle into the varicose vein, heating and closing the vein, allowing blood to be naturally re-routed to other healthy veins.
