Buffalo Vein Treatment doctors

The specific vein you are talking about just above the inside ankle bone is the great saphenous vein which may be quite prominent in some individuals and normal in most. Take a look at the ankles of most young people, they all have this vein just over the medial (inside) ankle bone. Yours may be very prominent.

Endovenous procedures are not performed for this particular problem unless venous reflux extends all the way down here from the groin, called saphenofemoral venous reflux disease. If it involes the outside of the ankle, that is the short saphenous system in which ablation can be helpful. In most cases, if I understand your description, this requires a 20 minute office microphlebectomy procedure. Consult a phlebologist (vein specialist) or vascular surgeon who has an interest in phlebology.

I agree that the Nd-YAG laser is the way to go for these types of facial veins. Topical anesthetics should be placed as recommended and after 15 minutes, you should be able to tolerate this treatment modality with little or no discomfort.
