The options are (a) microphlebectomy, i.e. physical vein removal from tiny holes. (b) Sclerotherapy (injection) might be an option too, however as I see the vein is pretty large and you may need several injection sessions and the treatment maybe associated with some post injection discomfort/pain (phlebitis) and temporary local discoloration. Please note the area closer to elbow cannot be treated due to conjunction of some vitals vessels there.

Most of the larger (blue) veins can be removed with sclerotherapy injections. For very superficial, bulging and curly veins microphlebectomy is an option too. With both procedures excellent and permanent results can be achieved.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience at Dr. Melkonyan's office. I went through several months of treatments for large, throbbing varicose veins I had in both legs since my third pregnancy. Dr. Melkonyan was absolutely wonderful- always explaining what procedures were ahead and what to anticipate. The procedures and recovery went as described and expected and I can actually show my legs again! His staff is also great, very kind, helpful, and accommodating. I would highly recommend Dr. Melkonyan to anyone who has been putting off getting their varicose veins looked at. You will be treated well and your vein issues will be fixed!
After pregnancy I noticed a lot of visible veins on my body and decided to get sclerotherapy. Dr. Melkonian treated the unwanted veins with sclerotherapy and I am beyond pleased with the outcome. I had treatment on my hands, chest, breasts, legs and feet without any complications. The procedure is not painful, and I find the price to be fair.
