LEG VEIN EXPERTS
Treatments We Offer at Our Charlotte Office
ll procedures are performed in-office at the Arboretum, most in under an hour with minimal downtime:
- VenaSeal™ — adhesive-based vein closure, no heat and no compression stockings afterward
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) — the gold-standard thermal treatment for venous reflux
- Varithena® — injectable foam for larger or tortuous varicose veins
- Sclerotherapy — medical and cosmetic, for small to medium veins
What Does Vein Treatment Cost in Charlotte?
For most patients, less than you might expect — because most vein treatment is covered by insurance. When vein disease causes symptoms like pain, swelling, cramping, or skin changes, treatment is considered medically necessary and is covered by most major insurance plans, including Medicare. Our team verifies your benefits and handles pre-authorization before any procedure, so you know your out-of-pocket cost up front.
If you are paying out of pocket: the cost of fully treating one leg varies widely depending on what your ultrasound reveals and which procedures are required, but typically falls in the $8,000–$10,000 range per leg, spread over several visits. Rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all price, we build your treatment plan from your diagnostic ultrasound — then provide an exact written quote before anything is scheduled.
An example self-pay treatment plan (one leg, moderate venous insufficiency):
- Diagnostic duplex ultrasound and consultation
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the great saphenous vein
- Varithena® foam treatment of remaining varicose branches
- Follow-up sclerotherapy to finish smaller surface veins
- Typical total: $8,000–$10,000 over 3–4 visits
Cosmetic spider vein treatment is not covered by insurance; cosmetic sclerotherapy sessions start at $650.
Why we publish this: any price quoted before an ultrasound is a guess. We would rather you walk in knowing the honest range than be surprised later.

How do I know if my leg pain is a vein problem?
Aching, heaviness, cramping, swelling, or restless legs that worsen through the day and improve with elevation are classic signs of venous insufficiency. A 30-minute ultrasound evaluation gives a definitive answer. Book an appointment here.
What makes a vein doctor “board-certified”?
Any physician can market themselves as a “vein specialist” — the term isn’t regulated. Board certification in vascular surgery means completing an accredited surgical residency and fellowship and passing national board exams. Dr. Ford holds two such certifications.
