Dr Felipe Faccini palestra 2018

You look at your legs and see those spider web-shaped spider veins and varicose veins. You've tried everything to hide them in pantyhose, creams, recipes from the internet - but nothing seems to work.

 

When you look in the mirror, you feel like spider veins and varicose veins are always there, robbing you of your confidence. Do you feel pain, swelling, cramps and itching in your legs? This can be caused by varicose veins.

 

And, as if that weren't enough, people's questions are constant: "What's that purple mark on your leg? Did you hit it?" Each question is a reminder of the limitations that these spider veins and varicose veins impose on your life.

The time has come to change this reality without surgery or anesthesia

Discover Hemodynamic Sclerotherapy.

Hemodynamic sclerotherapy is a technique brought from Europe that is bringing many possibilities for the treatment of varicose veins in Brazil.

 

Dr. Felipe Faccini, one of the pioneers of this technique in the country, has already been invited to speak about it at several congresses, due to its success and effectiveness.

​How does it work?

Hemodynamic sclerotherapy uses liquid, laser or foam injections guided by an ultrasound and hemodynamic assessment before treatment. This means that, instead of destroying all the vessels in the leg, the treatment is directed only to the necessary veins, preserving the saphenous vein and improving circulation by solving localized problems that end up worsening the other veins.

 

Think of the veins in your legs like water pipes in a house. Over time, some of these pipes can wear out, causing problems. Hemodynamic sclerotherapy is like having an expert plumber use modern tools to clean and repair just the pipes that need it, without having to destroy the entire pipeline.

 

In other words, you can use 3 or just 1 of these options, everything will depend on the degree of your varicose veins and the specialist Dr. Felipe Faccini will tell you the best option.

​Step 3: Hemodynamic Echo Doppler

When necessary, Dr. Felipe Faccini will also perform a hemodynamic Echodoppler exam during the first consultation. This advanced exam helps you understand the dynamics of blood flow in your veins, identifying problems that may be causing your varicose veins.

​Frequently asked questions about treatments preserving the Saphenous Vein

Will I need a long recovery period? Don't worry! CHIVA is a minimally invasive procedure, which means recovery is quick and smooth. Generally, you will be able to return to your normal activities the next day. Even go to the gym.

Is this treatment expensive? We understand your financial concerns. Our techniques offer an excellent cost-benefit ratio, avoiding additional costs and associated risks. Additionally, we offer affordable payment options to make treatment even more affordable for you.

Where is the procedure performed? For the safety and comfort of patients, we prefer to perform the procedure in a hospital. No matter how good the structure of a clinic is, we rarely have the same level of security as the hospital for rare and occasional difficulties. But the procedure is done on an outpatient basis and the patient leaves shortly after the procedure.

Is this treatment for me? Saphenous vein preservation is suitable for most people who want to treat varicose veins, edema or ulcers effectively and safely. During your initial consultation, Dr. Felipe Faccini will perform a detailed assessment to ensure this is the ideal treatment for you.

What if it doesn't work for me? With the experience and advanced technique of Dr. Felipe Faccini, techniques preserving the saphenous vein have shown excellent results for the majority of patients. We are committed to providing the best treatment possible and track your progress to adjust the plan as needed.

Does it stain the skin? All techniques can cause stains on the skin, in the veins that we keep and don't remove, this chance decreases. Every extra incision/puncture is another chance of marking. We do less local destruction of veins compared to other techniques. Dr. Felipe Faccini uses advanced methods and experience to minimize this risk.

Do varicose veins come back later? Varicose veins can return after any treatment if the underlying cause of poor circulation is not correctly addressed. However, if the circulation is resolved it should return less. But one thing must be said, the patient with varicose veins has weakness in the veins that are not involved as well. We can solve the problem today, after a few years another vein that is normal today becomes altered. Dr. Felipe Faccini focuses on treating the root of the problem, improving circulation and reducing the chance of varicose veins returning. Obviously, we always need to maintain control over quality of life and associated factors.
