The Avancé Difference
One physician. Every scan. Every procedure.
At many vein centers, you meet the doctor once. At Avancé, Dr. Tadepalli personally performs your consultation, your duplex ultrasound, and your treatment. Nothing rushed. Nothing delegated.
Know the Signs
Heaviness isn’t just tiredness.
Aching, swelling, restless legs, and skin changes are how veins ask for help — and vein disease is one of medicine’s most undertreated conditions.
Ankle Swelling
Swelling that worsens through the day and improves after elevating your legs overnight.
Visible Bulging Veins
Rope-like, twisted veins visible beneath the skin surface of your legs or thighs.
Spider Vein Clusters
Fine red, blue, or purple web-like veins on thighs, calves, or ankles.
Leg Cramps at Night
Nighttime cramping or restless legs linked to poor venous circulation.
Skin Changes Near Ankles
Darkening, thickening, or itching skin — a late sign of chronic venous disease.
Not sure?
A private self-assessment — your answers stay on your device. Nothing is saved or sent.
Procedures
Different tools. One precise treatment plan.
Every procedure is performed personally by Dr. Tadepalli, in-office, under local anesthesia — chosen from your duplex ultrasound findings, not from a menu.
01 · RFA
Radiofrequency Ablation
Heat energy delivered via a thin catheter is designed to close the refluxing vein — rerouting blood to healthy vessels. A widely used, guideline-supported treatment for great saphenous vein incompetence.
- 45–60 min
- Local anesthesia
- Walk out same day
May be covered when medically necessary and your plan’s criteria are met. Best for bulging, twisted varicosities and the chronic venous insufficiency behind aching, heaviness, and swelling — without vein stripping surgery. All procedures are outpatient and completed in under an hour.
Learn more about RFA →02 · EVLA
Endovenous Laser Ablation
Laser precision delivered via fiber-optic catheter closes faulty veins with pinpoint accuracy. No large surgical incisions, no hospital stay — the small access puncture generally leaves minimal marks.
- No incisions
- Local anesthesia
- Outpatient
A minimally invasive alternative to old-fashioned vein stripping surgery, without surgical incisions. Best for saphenous vein reflux where vein anatomy favors laser over radiofrequency — the duplex ultrasound decides. May be covered when medically necessary and your plan’s criteria are met.
Learn more about EVLA →03 · Varithena
Varithena® Foam Sclerotherapy
FDA-approved microfoam injectable that treats even difficult tortuous varicosities — especially where catheters can’t reach.
- FDA-approved
- Single injection
- No catheter
An injection session is designed to close the refluxing saphenous vein with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery; one or more sessions may be needed depending on anatomy and response. Best for twisting, tortuous veins and recurrent disease after prior treatment. May be covered when medically necessary and your plan’s criteria are met.
Learn more about Varithena →04 · VenaSeal
VenaSeal™ Adhesive Closure
A non-thermal treatment that closes refluxing saphenous veins with medical-grade adhesive delivered through a catheter under ultrasound guidance.
- No heat
- No tumescent anesthesia
- Usually no stockings
Best for patients who prefer to avoid thermal energy or compression stockings, and for veins where tumescent anesthesia is less suitable. May be covered when medically necessary and your plan’s criteria are met.
Learn more about VenaSeal →05 · USGFS
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Real-time ultrasound guides foam sclerosant to treat veins invisible to the naked eye. Ideal for recurrent or complex venous disease.
- Ultrasound precision
- Deep veins
- Minimal downtime
Dr. Tadepalli performs all ultrasound evaluations and guided treatments himself. Best for veins that feed visible clusters from below the surface, and for disease that has returned after earlier treatment. May be covered when medically necessary and your plan’s criteria are met.
Learn more about sclerotherapy →06 · Microstab
Microstab Phlebectomy
Bulging surface veins removed through punctures a few millimetres wide — also called microphlebectomy. In-office, under local anesthesia, walking out the same day.
- In-office
- Local anesthesia
- Walk out same day
Best for rope-like surface veins, and often combined with ablation in a single session so the source and the visible vein are treated together. The 2–3 mm punctures are closed with adhesive strips rather than stitches. May be covered when medically necessary and your plan’s criteria are met.
Learn more about Microstab →Also part of care here: duplex ultrasound — the diagnostic map every plan starts from — compression therapy, and visual sclerotherapy for surface spider veins.

Patient Questions
Everything you need to know.
Straightforward answers about vein treatment, insurance coverage, and what to expect on the day of your procedure.
Many medically necessary vein treatments may be eligible for insurance coverage when veins cause medical symptoms such as pain, swelling, leg fatigue, or skin changes — eligibility depends on your plan and its medical criteria. Our office verifies your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect.
Most minimally invasive vein procedures are generally well tolerated. Local anesthetic is used when appropriate — sclerotherapy involves a fine needle, and most patients describe only a brief pinch. Temporary soreness or tenderness may occur afterward and generally settles within a few days.
Most procedures — including RFA and EVLA — are completed in 45–90 minutes as outpatient visits in our office; sclerotherapy sessions typically take 30–45 minutes, with no hospital admission. Many patients can return to routine activity soon after treatment. If you receive sedating medication or specific procedural instructions, you may need someone to drive you home.
Most patients resume daily activities the same day. Walking is actively encouraged immediately after treatment — it promotes circulation and supports healing. You will wear a compression stocking for a short period after ablation procedures. Strenuous exercise is limited for 1–2 weeks, but most normal activities can resume within 24 hours.
After a thorough duplex ultrasound evaluation, Dr. Tadepalli will create a personalized treatment plan. Most patients with isolated spider veins achieve results in 1–2 sessions. Varicose vein disease often involves 2–4 sessions depending on extent. Dr. Tadepalli will give you a clear, honest estimate — no pressure, no unnecessary procedures.
The treated vein segment is intended to remain closed. Chronic venous disease can progress over time, however, and new or recurrent varicose veins may develop in other veins. Follow-up ultrasound at regular intervals helps monitor vein health and catch new disease early.
