“I had an excellent experience with Dr. Hyde. His treatment was virtually painless and the results were tremendous. Far better than what I had experienced in San Francisco a few year back. Dr. Hyde may not be warm and fuzzy but he is kind and gentle. He has spent allot of time perfecting his technique and his results are outstanding. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone”

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged veins that appear on the surface of the skin. They may be dark purple or blue and they may bulge and twist. Smaller varicose veins, known as spider veins, look like angry red lines that may appear alone or in a web-like pattern. Any vein in the body can become varicose, but these veins typically appear on the thighs and lower legs.

Many varicose veins never cause more than a cosmetic issue, while others might produce the following symptoms:

When symptoms appear, it is time to talk to a doctor about treatment for your varicose veins. Fortunately there are many treatment options available today, allowing your doctor to customize treatment to your specific needs and symptoms. Most patients experience nearly instant relief from uncomfortable symptoms after varicose vein treatment, although it may take some time for the veins themselves to disappear completely. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, contact Elite Vein Specialist right away to find out how we can help you alleviate uncomfortable side effects of your varicose veins.

“Dr. Hyde is a true leader in his field, pioneering EVLT, and his work is outstanding. A thoughtful and detail oriented physician – I recommend him to all my friends. You will not be disappointed!”

—Alison R. , San Francisco, CA

Spider Veins

Spider veins are similar to varicose veins, but smaller and closer to the surface of the skin. They are often red or blue in color. They often resemble a tree branch or spider web. Spider veins can be found on both the legs and the face.

In most cases there are no symptoms of spider veins. The tiny veins appear on the surface of the skin because blood is restricted from flowing to the affected areas properly. Symptoms often occur during times of prolonged standing or sitting.

Less common symptoms may include tingling, throbbing, pressure in the limbs, tiredness in the limbs, cramping or aching due to decreased blood flow in the areas which the spider veins appear.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, contact Elite Vein Specialist right away right away to find out how we can help you alleviate uncomfortable side effects of your spider veins.

I went back to see Dr. Hyde on Wednesday, to get more treatment on my spider veins. I’ve been a patient of his for a few years, and will continue to only have him treat my veins. I trust his work and his expertise. There are a lot of places offering to treat veins, but many of them are not qualified, nor specialized in this area. Dr. Hyde does cutting edge work, uses the latest technology, and has the nicest staff ever! I’ve been super happy with my results, and will recommend him to anyone. Keep up the good work, Dr. Hyde!”

Vein Treatment Options at Elite Vein Specialists

More than 80 million people in the United States have problems with their veins, the vessels that return blood to the heart once it has circulated through the body. Many people suffering from venous disorders come to vein specialists looking for treatment to either relieve pain or improve the visible appearance of diseased veins.

From scheduling your appointment to following up after your procedure, our top priority is giving you outstanding patient care. Dr. Hyde and his staff are experienced in providing individualized, minimally-invasive vein care in a friendly, comfortable setting. Dr. Hyde uses advanced techniques in sclerotherapy, a nonsurgical alternative to stripping and ligation, which have no downtime and over a 98% success rate following the first treatment. His methods have been featured on ABC News’ Health Watch, where he treated local patients that suffered from large, painful varicose veins.

Veinlite® Sclerotherapy Treatment

Veinlite guided sclerotherapy allows the physician to see veins below the skin’s surface, even those that may not be visible to the human eye. This procedure is indicated for superficial spider veins and feeder vessels. Desired results may take up to two months to fully appear. Risks and side effects for this procedure are rare

Endovenous Laser Treatment

Endovenous laser ablation uses the heat from lasers to shrink and collapse diseased veins. Dr. Hyde was the first physician in the Bay Area to begin using the new, cutting-edge fourth generation Sciton laser. The procedure provides very little discomfort and recovery is generally very quick. Unlike surgical vein stripping, endovenous laser ablation requires virtually no downtime. This technique results in far fewer complications and side effects than traditional surgical vein stripping.

Sclerotherapy

Developed over 40 years ago in Europe, sclerotherapy at Elite Vein Specialists utilizes only FDA approved drugs to close undesired veins. It is a simple, nearly painless, vessel injection technique that causes vein closure.

At EVS we offer a plethora of different Sclerotherapy treatments including:

  • • Surface Sclerotherapy
  • • Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy
  • • Foam Sclerotherapy
  • • Veinlite Sclerotherapy

Dr.Hyde and his trained staff are amazing! They are professional, on time, and do an outstanding job on any vein issue. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their services.””
