Varicosity Treatment in clinic Lis
About the clinic
Varicose vein care at Clinic Lis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, includes diagnostic imaging, minimally invasive procedures, and vein surgery. An infrared Vein Viewer maps vessel paths onto the skin in real time. Clinic Lis holds SBCP, TEMOS, and ISAPS accreditations.
Dr. Pablo Salim Varela specializes in vascular and endovascular surgery. He is a full member of Brazil’s SBACV and an international member of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). The clinic also has a vascular surgery and phlebology unit.
Diagnostic options with Vein Viewer
- EcoColorDoppler vascular ultrasound: An ultrasound scan used to assess blood vessels.
- Vein Viewer mapping: Augmented reality and infrared light show vessel paths on the skin in real time.
- Vascular consultation: An angiologist or vascular surgeon can assess the veins. International patients can use the clinic’s telemedicine platform.
Treatments from polidocanol to Venefit
- Foam sclerotherapy: Ultrasound-guided polidocanol foam treats medium and thick veins, saphenous veins, and venous ulcers. Sessions last about 30 minutes and take place weekly or every 15 days. High-compression stockings are recommended afterward.
- Transdermal laser: Laser heat closes small surface vessels, while cooling air at -20°C is applied. It treats telangiectasias, microvarices, bluish nourishing veins, and slightly larger veins. Patients leave the same day and can resume daily activities. Low- or medium-intensity exercise can resume the next day. This method is not recommended for very large or deep vessels, or for black or tanned skin.
- CLaCS (Cryolaser and Cryosclerotherapy): Laser treatment is followed by an injection of sclerosing liquid at -40°C. The clinic notes faster vessel drying and greater treatment efficacy.
- Cryosclerotherapy: A sclerosing liquid is injected at a very low temperature.
- Liquid sclerotherapy: A liquid sclerosing agent is injected to close diseased veins and improve blood circulation.
- Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): An endovenous laser treats saphenous veins.
- Venefit radiofrequency: The Venefit system uses radiofrequency ablation to treat saphenous veins.
- Varicose vein surgery: Conventional surgery removes affected veins without impairing circulation. Recovery guidance includes avoiding exertion, taking light walks, and resting with legs elevated. Surgery is preferred in cooler months.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss diagnostic and treatment options.

clinic Lis: more details about the clinic
Clinic Lis is a multi-specialty medical facility in Rio de Janeiro's Centro district. The clinic operates from a single building with three specialized departments. It provides care across plastic surgery, dermatology, bariatric surgery, endocrinology, and vascular medicine. Four physicians deliver support for both aesthetic and medical needs.
Accreditations and Professional Standards
The clinic holds certifications from several international and domestic organizations. These credentials signal compliance with safety and quality protocols. The medical team operates under standards set by:
- SBCP (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica)
- TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation
- ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery)
Specialties and Specialized Procedures
The plastic surgery department offers a full range of body and facial procedures. Surgeons perform rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelifts, and liposuction. The clinic also specializes in post-bariatric reconstructive surgeries, including abdominoplasty and mammaplasty. Mini-abdominoplasty is available too – it uses smaller incisions for excess skin removal below the navel.
For breast aesthetics, the clinic uses the R24r (Real 24 Recovery) protocol with Dual Plane implant placement. The top of the silicone implant sits behind muscle, while the base rests behind mammary glands. Patients can raise their arms shortly after anesthesia wears off. Most can lift up to 15 kg and wash their hair by the next day.
The vascular surgery and phlebology unit treats varicose veins and telangiectasias. Specialists use minimally invasive methods to address blue nourishing veins and microvarices:
- CLACS (Cryolaser and Cryosclerotherapy)
- EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation)
- Venefit radiofrequency for saphenous veins
- Foam sclerotherapy
Patients undergoing laser vein treatments are often released immediately. They can typically resume physical activities the following day.
Dermatology services cover both medical and aesthetic skin concerns. The team uses MD Codes for facial lifting effects – a point-based hyaluronic acid technique that rejuvenates without surgery. Other options include Sculptra for collagen stimulation and CO2 Fracionado laser for wrinkles, scars, and pigment issues.
The endocrinology department treats metabolic and hormonal disorders. Physicians monitor and treat:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Thyroid nodules and disorders
- Osteoporosis
- Weight loss management
This department focuses on individualized hormonal care and long-term monitoring.
Advanced Medical Technologies
Clinic Lis uses digital tools for diagnostic accuracy and patient visualization. Vascular consultations use augmented reality with infrared light. This projects vessel paths directly onto the patient's skin in real time. For surgical planning, a 3D Simulator lets patients see potential results before breast or facial surgery.
International Patient Care
The clinic supports international patients through a secure telemedicine platform. Specialists conduct structured clinical interviews to guide treatment from abroad, so patients know when an in-person visit to Rio de Janeiro is needed. For post-operative safety, surgeons and anesthesiologists share direct contact numbers for recovery questions. The clinic also uses the MEMED system for digital prescription signatures. Pharmacies validate these orders via a secure QR code system.
