AccuVein Vein Viewing System
AccuVein illuminates veins that may be otherwise undetectable with the naked eye. This improves accuracy of treatment and allows the phlebologist to confirm visually that the treatment has been successful.
AccuVein can assist treatment of varicose veins by:
- Showing the veins to patients
- Locating feeder veins
- Showing foam sclerosant (the substance injected into veins during sclerotherapy) in real time
- Highlight veins during transdermal laser therapy
- Map varicose veins for ambulatory phlebectomy
- Visually confirm efficacy of procedure
How does AccuVein work?
Hemoglobin in the blood absorbs infrared light. When the device is held above the skin, veins appear noticeably different than the surrounding tissue. The veins shows up clearly on the skin’s surface, aiding and simplifying varicose vein location for treatment.
Medicare Rebate & Costs
The cost of treating varicose veins depends on severity of the veins as well as which treatment is used. We discuss these costs in detail at your initial consultation.
A Medicare rebate is claimable on all varicose vein procedures, except the most superficial spider veins.
