Dealing with a nonhealing leg wound can be both frustrating and concerning. These wounds, often referred to as venous ulcers, can cause discomfort and pose serious health risks if left untreated. Fortunately, with advanced wound care solutions and proper treatment, even nonhealing leg wounds can be addressed and healed. At Vitality Vein Care in Prosper, TX, our experienced providers are dedicated to helping patients in Celina, Prosper, and Frisco find relief from chronic leg wounds through state-of-the-art therapies — like radiofrequency (RF) ablation, sclerotherapy, and others — and personalized care plans to help prevent recurrent venous ulcers. Keep reading to learn more about how venous ulcers are treated and what you can expect during and after the process.

Can venous ulcers be treated?

Nonhealing leg wounds are usually treatable, and early intervention is often the key to minimizing complications. Venous ulcers are typically caused by poor circulation or vein reflux, which leads to increased pressure in the veins of the lower legs. This pressure can cause the skin to break down, resulting in painful, nonhealing wounds. If not treated properly, these ulcers can lead to infections or other serious health issues. The best possible treatment for venous ulcers starts with prevention. By correcting vein reflux and improving blood circulation in the legs, the risk of developing ulcers can be significantly reduced. At Vitality Vein Care, we work with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses both the wound itself and the underlying cause.

Do I need treatment for ulcers on legs?

Before beginning any treatment, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and perform a comprehensive examination of your legs to establish a diagnosis and determine if nonhealing leg wound treatment is appropriate for you. This typically includes the use of duplex ultrasound technology to assess the condition of your veins and identify any underlying vein reflux that may be contributing to the wound. Once we have a complete understanding of your condition, we can begin formulating a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

How are venous ulcers treated?

The treatment of nonhealing leg wounds typically follows a step-by-step process that focuses on reducing leg swelling, healing the wound, and correcting the underlying vein issue. The process of treating ulcers on the legs typically includes the following steps:

  • Reducing swelling through compression, elevation, and other strategies
  • Using wound care techniques to encourage healing and prevent infection
  • Correcting vein reflux with RF ablation (thermal endovenous therapy)
  • Treating the perforator vein associated with the ulcer using endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, or another technique

With this comprehensive approach, we aim to not only heal the ulcer but also prevent future vein ulcers and wounds from forming.

How long does it take to heal a venous ulcer?

The healing time for venous ulcers varies depending on the severity of the wound and the effectiveness of the treatment. In most cases, patients begin to see improvements within weeks, though full healing may take several months. Throughout the treatment process, regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust the care plan as needed.

As a board-certified, family practice physician, and a patient of Vitality Vein Care, although I live just over two hours away from this facility, I have still referred many patients to them, because they are worth the drive. I believe they provide the best of care to their patients, and with each patient I have sent, I continue to receive wonderful feedback regarding their experiences with Vitality Vein Care. I have consistently seen good outcomes, and some seem nearly miraculous, so, if anyone is hesitating for an evaluation, I believe they’re worth at least the first visit, and to receive the education they have regarding the condition that they find.

It has been a great experience with my vein treatment at this clinic. Staff has been really supportive and knowledgable about what they are doing throughout all the procedures . They have made sure that we get minimum or no pain during the treatment. I would recommend this to anyone who is having tiring or achy legs or swollen feet from so long. They would do an ultrasound to know the real cause of it and will treat it in timely manner for you.

I had to get a lot of work done in each of my legs, which meant a lot of visits between procedures and follow ups. The staff at Vitality Vein Care have been absolutely amazing throughout the process. They are so friendly, always happy to answer questions, and Josh and Audrey repeatedly let me talk their ears off during my procedures. While it’s safe to say I won’t miss having all of these ablations and sclerotherapy sessions done, I certainly WILL miss seeing them — I feel like they’ve become friends at this point!

I don't usually write reviews, however the care and treatment received from the team at Vitality Vein Care in Prosper was outstanding and deserves a callout. Every single person I dealt with throughout the process from the reception, check in, check up, treatment and checkout was wonderful. They were on time, efficient, friendly and genuinely made you feel at home. Following diagnosis of a blood clot in my leg, I was referred to Vitality Vein Care. The initial assessment with Stephanie Sealy and Nicole and Dr Hart was comprehensive and highlighted that I had venous insufficiency in both legs. Stephanie took the time to walk me through a treatment plan, the process and what to expect. I had a lot of questions and she patiently answered all of them. Despite being a little apprehensive, I went through the entire treatment plan and couldn't be happier with the results. Stephanie and Nicole, were there every step of the way. Audrey was fantastic with the some of the more complicated procedures working with Josh and Dr Hart. Mary did a great job checking my progress on all the follow up visits Thanks also to all the warm welcomes from Omar, Nancy , Amber and Courtney + anyone I missed. I would highly recommend Vitality Vein Care.
