Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins

Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins

Varicose veins can be effectively treated with LASER.  In this procedure, a Laser light, which is a highly focused beam of light is directed at the inner lining of the vein with extreme precision.  No cuts are used in this procedure.  The heat from the laser closes and shrinks the varicose vein, which seals off the vein.  It does not affect the surrounding tissue.  Hospital stay is minimal for this procedure and the patient can go home in a day.  Combined Foam Sclerotherapy treatment is used to treat spider veins or tiny varicose veins.

Using Endovenous Laser Treatment larger varicose veins in the legs can be treated.  The vein is monitored on a duplex ultrasound screen and a laser fiber is passed through a catheter into the vein.   

A small prick is made in the vein for the catheter to be inserted into the vein.  Fluid with medication is injected around the vein to keep the surrounding tissue cool and safe.   The laser will heat up the length of the vein and eventually the vein will shrink and close up.  The procedure will take approximately an hour to be performed.

Since the prick where the catheter is inserted into the vein is small, no stitches will be required to close the same.  The site will be bandaged.

EVLT is considered very successful as well as safe and has excellent long term results.
