Vanishing Veins Northwest offers a variety of treatments for varicose and spider veins, which are often the cause of leg pain, cosmetic concerns, and leg discomfort.

Non-surgical treatment options include EVLT (Endovenous Laser Ablation Therapy), a laser treatment to alleviate varicose veins; and Sclerotherapy, which injects a sclerosant
solution into the affected vein to eliminate spider veins. These minimally invasive procedures generally last less than an hour and provide the added benefit of short
recover time.

Our services are provided by Valley Radiologists, whose board certified interventional radiologists focus exclusively in the treatment of vein disorders. It is the mission of Valley Radiologists to provide patients with cost effective, high quality imaging services in a caring, professional atmosphere. In addition, Valley Radiologists works
to provide referring physicians with readily available consultations and accurate, timely test results, as well as a thorough medical evaluation of each patient to identify the cause of vein problems and determine the best possible treatment plan.
