Varicose Veins Hurt More Than Vanity

Vascular & Vein Laser Center offers VenaCure for painful, unsightly varicose veins.

Dr. Kyle Hrdlicka, a trained general vascular and endovascular surgeon, uses the VenaCure laser treatment, a state-of-the-art procedure, in his practice to help patients become pain-free and glad to expose their legs again.

You don’t need to drive to Tulsa to take care of those unsightly, painful varicose veins. For over 12 years, the Vascular & Vein Laser Center in Claremore has been offering state-of-the-art laser treatment to help patients become pain-free and glad to expose their legs again, all with very little downtime. Dr. Kyle Hrdlicka, general vascular and endovascular surgeon, and his staff are dedicated to giving their patients the highest quality care in a comfortable, pleasant environment.

Keeping up with the latest technology, Dr. Hrdlicka says the VenaCure EVLT is the number-one physician choice for laser vein treatment and is only one of many in his arsenal of minimally-invasive procedures to help treat varicose veins.

“With the VenaCure,” says Dr. Hrdlicka, “targeted laser energy is used to seal the vein shut and help you look better and feel better fast because it uses different wavelengths of light to treat the varicose veins. There is also less bruising and pain involved with this procedure, which also gives immediate relief and minimal to no scarring.”

What causes varicose veins? According to Dr. Hrdlicka, there can be several contributing factors, including genetics and heredity. Others include pregnancy, obesity and standing for exceptionally long periods. Blood is allowed to pool in the leg veins, rather than being pumped back up into the body. Varicose veins can cause pain and heaviness in the legs, edema, burning and stinging, aching and throbbing.

A graduate of Claremore High School and the OU College of Pharmacy, Dr. Hrdlicka received his medical degree from the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tulsa before completing an internship, a residency in general surgery, and a fellowship in vascular surgery at Ohio University Doctors Hospital in Columbus. In addition, he completed a sub-fellowship in endovascular surgery at the Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix.

With the FDA approved VenaCure EVLT, Dr. Hrdlicka is committed to bringing his patients the results they desire with no general anesthesia and less than one hour in the office. “The procedure is easy to perform and gets patients back on their feet in approximately 45 minutes,” he adds.

After the procedure, patients can walk out of the office without assistance. “It depends on the person as to how soon they can return to work,” he adds.

Insurance and Medicare will usually pay for the laser treatment, which is performed in the office. Pre-authorization is required but there is usually no problem getting patients approved. The initial consultation is free and no referral is needed unless required by the
insurance company. “Anyone can come in to determine if he or she is a candidate for this procedure,” says Dr. Hrdlicka. “Many people think they have varicose veins but don’t. We can look at their leg and come up with a diagnosis.”
