PHLEBOLOGY
Venous health and
progressive prevention
LIPEDEMA and CELLULITE are not the same condition →
Phlebology is the medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of venous system disorders, with particular attention to the lower limbs.
At Dermacademy, phlebology is dedicated to preserving vascular function and preventing the progression of venous disease through an integrated and personalized clinical approach. Leg health is part of the body’s overall circulatory balance and requires specialist evaluation, accurate diagnostic methods, and long-term monitoring.
When to Consult a Specialist
A phlebological evaluation is recommended in the presence of:
- Visible capillaries (telangiectasias)
- Varicose veins
- Sensation of heaviness or swelling in the legs
- Night cramps
- Ankle edema
- Skin changes related to venous insufficiency
- Previous episodes of thrombosis or phlebitis
Early intervention helps reduce symptoms and limit the progression of chronic venous disease.
Diagnostic Pathway
The phlebological consultation includes a comprehensive medical history review and an accurate clinical evaluation.
The key examination is the venous Echo Color Doppler ultrasound, which allows the study of blood flow, the identification of possible reflux, and the precise definition of the most appropriate therapeutic strategy.
Diagnosis represents the foundation of every therapeutic decision.
Treatments
Depending on the clinical condition, the following treatments may be recommended:
- Sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy
- Endovenous laser and radiofrequency treatments
- Varicose vein microsurgery
- Conservative hemodynamic techniques (CHIVA, ASVAL)
- Oxygen-ozone therapy
- Integrated prevention and maintenance protocols
Each treatment is selected according to the patient’s specific condition and the shared clinical objectives.
Under the care of Dr. Marcello Bernardini and Dr. Costanza Martelli.
Oxygen-Ozone Therapy
Oxygen-ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses a mixture of oxygen and ozone to act on vascular function and tissue quality.
In the field of phlebology, it is used as a supportive treatment within therapeutic protocols, with the aim of improving microcirculation, promoting fluid drainage, and helping reduce symptoms.
It may be indicated in cases of:
- chronic venous insufficiency
- venous and lymphatic edema
- lipedema
- outcomes of superficial venous thrombosis
- skin ulcers
- microcirculatory disorders
The treatment is always included within a personalized clinical pathway and does not replace specific phlebological therapies, but rather complements them according to the patient’s condition.
