About VenX
Frustrated with the technical and regulatory limitations of sclerotherapy and lack of consistent efficacy of surface laser for the treatment of spider and reticular veins, the founders of VenX set out to develop novel systems to treat spider veins. Dr. Edward Boyle and Dr. Andrew Jones, experienced vein doctors at Inovia Vein Specialty Center in Bend, Oregon, invented a device to treat spider veins using a technique that they termed “nanophlebectomy.” Nanophlebectomy uses a handheld, disposable device called the VenX Revolution™ to treat and eliminate spider and reticular veins in a transdermal fashion.
