Vicky F. Homemaker

"I definitely see an improvement in my symptoms. I have no more pain, no more swelling. You can't even see the veins. Before you could draw a roadmap on my legs because of the veins."

Vicky has worn support hosiery since the age of 17 primarily to ease the aching in her legs and to conceal her varicose veins. Vicky has a family history of bad veins: her grandmother and mother both had visible varicose veins and her grandmother was treated with traditional vein stripping. Vicky was concerned about downtime following vein stripping, so she searched for alternative treatments on the Internet.

The Closure procedure peaked her interest. She made an appointment with Dr. Rosenberg to obtain more information, and subsequently decided to undergo the Closure treatment. Vicky stated, "I drove 2 1/2 hours to get to Dr. Rosenberg. It was worth driving the distance to have this done."

The Closure treatment took Dr. Rosenberg about 45 minutes to perform. The next day Vicky was back to her normal activities and resumed her regular exercise schedule including kickboxing 3 to 4 days after the procedure. She has no scarring from the procedure, and no longer is she self-conscious about wearing shorts. "I have normal, good-looking legs again." Vicky claims, "It's wonderful. I would have it done again."

Connie K. Third Grade Teacher

Nineteen years ago, Connie had her left leg surgically stripped and said, “I was in the hospital for a week, wrapped and bandaged, then off my feet for another three weeks.” Connie had her right leg vein treated with the Closure procedure. “I experienced no pain afterwards. I found that incredible in comparison with my previous experience. I had no scarring. It’s incredible, absolutely incredible. I’m looking forward to wearing a skirt this summer.”

Brad G. Marketing Director

Over the last three to four years Brad experienced discomfort in his left leg, including aching, swelling, itching, hair loss, and skin discolorations and sores. Brad had the Closure procedure done in December. “I can say the procedure was nearly painless. I walked out of the office and went Christmas shopping the next day. Most dramatically, my lower leg stopped swelling even after a full day on my feet. Now about twelve weeks later, the skin discolorations and vein protrusions have almost vanished and the hair has grown back where before there was none. I can hardly tell that I ever had a vein problem.”
