The Nebraska Medical Center
The days of lengthy incisions, stitches and scars to treat varicose veins are gone at The Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Now, a laser fiber and skilled vascular surgeon Jason Johanning, M.D. can fix the problem with little discomfort, tiny incisions and believe it or not – no stitches.
Varicose veins are often caused by a faulty valve in the veins that run just under the skin.

Dr. Johanning finds and treats the problem using ultrasound, a laser fiber and incisions about the size of small freckle. “Essentially what we do is put a laser fiber into the large superficial vein to scar it down. Then we remove enlarged adjacent veins through incisions so small the skin heals on its own,” said Dr. Johanning.
