| Sclerotherapy
The "gold-standard" in treating spider veins.
Are you looking to treat your unsightly spider veins or painful varicose veins in a painless and non-surgical way? You can with the help of Dr. Mackay.
Dr. Mackay has restored the health and beauty of thousands of patients by use of this minimally-invasive and quick-turnaround treatment.
Sclerotherapy, brought to the U.S. from Europe more than 40 years ago, is considered to be the gold standard in vein therapies. Whatever the cause - age, genetics, pregnancy or hormonal changes, sclerotherapy successfully rids small, unappealing leg veins.
Performed in the comfort of our office, a few quick visits, usually no more than 15 minutes each, is all it takes to bring back the vein-free legs you once had.
Unsightly veins serve no purpose, except to annoy you! By simply injecting problematic veins with a solution, the appearance of those unsightly veins will be improved dramatically. Improved circulation is a bonus. There are many options for solutions to use in sclerotherapy. Your provider will use the best option for your veins.
Typically, when warranted, the larger veins are addressed first. Some larger, deeper veins may require the use of Ultrasound guidance with injection of a foam solution alternative. The use of Ultrasound guidance will allow the doctor precise visualization for injecting those veins that you cannot see on the surface. Utilizing a foam solution for injecting larger veins has shown to have greater effectiveness for closure and long term results. Following treatment for any larger, deeper veins, the provider can proceed with the smaller, more superficial spider veins. After sclerotherapy, the body will naturally absorb the unsightly veins which have been shut down, improving circulation as well as the appearance of your legs.
For those patients always on-the-go, sclerotherapy is great option as they can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Endovenous Laser Treatment
Dr. Mackay was the first in the Bay area to offer Endovenous Laser Treatment.
In 2001, Dr. Mackay was the first in the bay area to offer Endovenous Laser Treatment. As a pioneer in this treatment, Dr. Mackay subsequently became the trainer of choice for many physicians, from across the globe, looking to add this effective treatment to their practice. Not only does Endovenous Laser Treatment provide a more effective outcome, patients find the process so much easier than they ever expected. Dr. Mackay's years of experience make him the clear choice for any person suffering from varicose veins.
Endovenous Laser Treatment is done intravenously, meaning directly inside the vein, and is performed under local anesthesia in Dr. Mackay's office. The procedure takes less than an hour and results in little-to-no scarring with a short recovery period. Repeat laser treatments are rarely necessary.
Endovenous Laser Treatment provides patients with a reduction in the size or closure of the treated veins and improvement in varicose vein-related symptoms. Results to date are promising with essentially no recurrence and good cosmetic appearance.
Although varicose veins are not life-threatening, patients who opt for no treatment at all may develop complications like an increase in the number of veins or enlargement in the existing veins; in cases of large varicose veins, spontaneous bleeding may occur and ankle swelling and/or skin changes may develop including the possibility of ulcerations.
VNUS Closure™
Dr. Mackay was the first in Florida to offer VNUS Closure™
If you're suffering from varicose veins and would prefer another alternative to Endovenous Laser Treatment, Dr. Mackay offers VNUS Closure™.
The VNUS Closure™ procedure is a minimally-invasive vein therapy that has the success rate equal to the traditional surgical method of vein stripping.
The procedure works by heating up the vein walls with radio energy (like microwaves), which causes the problematic veins to collapse and seal-shut. Dr. Mackay uses an ultrasound to place the current to deliver the radiofrequency energy and then to verify the veins were properly blocked.
Comfortably treated with local anesthesia in the office of Dr. Mackay, patients who are treated with VNUS Closure™ have little or no pain, a quick recovery and typically no scars - your legs are immediately presentable!
Phlebectomy
Virtually scar-free!
Do you suffer from large, rope-like veins that seem to protrude from your skin? If so, Dr. Mackay can treat them in-office with Phlebectomy.
Phlebectomy is a safe and virtually scar-free procedure in which large varicose veins are gently extracted. The procedure requires only local anesthesia and is minimally-invasive.
Most patients need only one day off from work to have the procedure performed, and can return to their normal activities within 24 hours!
Intense Pulsed Light | Cutaneous Laser

This single system safely treats problematic areas that may not respond well to other therapies.
