Vascular & Vein Treatments in Houston, TX
From varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency to PAD/claudication, DVT, carotid artery disease, aneurysms, limb-threatening wounds, and dialysis access needs, Dr. Rema Malik provides evidence-based, minimally invasive care in Houston, TX. After a thorough exam and on-site imaging, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan focused on safety, comfort, and long-term vascular health.
Bulging, twisted leg veins can cause aching, heaviness, swelling, and night cramps. After duplex ultrasound to find the source, treatment may include lifestyle changes, compression, RF or laser ablation, foam therapy, or microphlebectomy to relieve symptoms and improve appearance.
Spider Veins / Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy injects a medical solution into tiny surface veins so they collapse and fade. Sessions are quick with little downtime, designed to improve appearance and skin confidence.
VenaSeal (Medical Adhesive Vein Closure)
A non-thermal, non-tumescent treatment that closes refluxing veins using a specially formulated medical adhesive. Performed in-office through a single needle stick, VenaSeal relieves varicose vein symptoms with no heat, no nerve risk, and most patients return to normal activity the same day.
A minimally invasive treatment for refluxing veins that seals the faulty vein with controlled heat. Performed in-office with local anesthesia, RFA relieves aching, swelling, and heaviness with quick recovery.
Varithena (Foam Sclerotherapy)
An FDA-approved microfoam injected into diseased veins to collapse and close them from the inside. Ideal for tortuous, branching, or below-the-knee varicose veins that other procedures can’t reach, Varithena improves leg appearance and symptoms with little to no downtime.
Faulty vein valves cause pooling blood, leg swelling, skin changes, and ulcers. We confirm with duplex ultrasound, then use compression, lifestyle changes, and targeted procedures like RFA to restore healthy flow.
Evaluation for claudication or limb threat and treatment with lifestyle optimization, medications, angioplasty and stenting, or bypass when needed.
Diagnosis with duplex ultrasound and treatment with anticoagulation, with advanced options like thrombolysis or thrombectomy for select extensive clots.
Surgical removal of plaque from the carotid artery to restore flow to the brain and lower future stroke risk with proven long-term durability.
Stent graft repair through small groin punctures to exclude the aneurysm, reduce rupture risk, and enable faster recovery compared with open repair.
Comprehensive wound assessment, debridement, offloading, infection control, and revascularization when needed to protect tissue and prevent amputation.
Geniculate Artery Embolization (GAE)
A catheter-based option for knee osteoarthritis pain in selected patients. By reducing inflamed blood flow to the joint lining, GAE can relieve pain and improve function without major surgery.

Personalized treatment plan
Dr. Malik will explain your results in plain language and outline options—from lifestyle changes and compression to minimally invasive procedures—covering benefits, risks, recovery, and follow-up. You’ll leave with a clear, written plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a vascular surgeon?
No referral is required for most patients. Many PPO plans and Medicare allow self-referral. Some HMOs or employer plans do require a primary care referral. Our team will verify your benefits and let you know exactly what your plan needs before your visit.
How do I know if my leg pain is vascular-related?
Vascular leg pain often shows up as:
- Cramping or tightness in the calves or thighs with walking that improves with rest (claudication)
- Heaviness, swelling, varicose veins, skin discoloration, or ulcers (venous disease)
Because nerve, joint, or back issues can mimic these symptoms, an exam plus noninvasive tests like an ankle–brachial index (ABI) or duplex ultrasound can clarify the cause.
Are vein treatments covered by insurance?
Medically necessary vein treatments (for pain, swelling, skin changes, ulcers, or documented reflux on ultrasound) are often covered after a trial of conservative care such as compression. Cosmetic procedures—like treatment of small spider veins—are typically not covered. We handle prior authorizations and provide cost estimates before treatment.
What’s the recovery time for vascular surgery?
Recovery depends on the procedure and your overall health. Minimally invasive vein treatments (e.g., RF/laser ablation, sclerotherapy) typically allow return to light activity the same day or next day. Endovascular artery procedures (angioplasty/stent) often need a few days. More complex or open surgeries can take weeks. You’ll receive personalized recovery instructions and follow-up.
Do you offer minimally invasive procedures?
Yes. We offer a full range of image-guided, minimally invasive options, including radiofrequency/laser ablation for varicose veins, foam therapy (e.g., Varithena), angioplasty and stenting for arterial disease, catheter-directed clot treatments, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) when appropriate.
