Specialist doctor conducts endovenous laser coagulation of the veins of a patient's legs

Varicose Vein Treatment

Bulging, twisted varicose veins can cause moderate to severe discomfort in the legs ranging from itchiness to heaviness and soreness. In some circumstances, these veins may also be a sign of venous insufficiency or inability to properly distribute blood to the heart. Endovenous laser therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that can help to diminish varicose veins and improve blood flow, surgery-free.

For those with painful varicose veins or problems with blood flow, endovenous laser therapy may be the right solution for you!

How It Works

Endovenous laser therapy is conducted in a 30-45 minute procedure. You will first be administered local anesthesia to ease any tension or discomfort. Next, your specialist will insert a small catheter into the affected vein and work the catheter towards the groin area. Once the tube has been appropriately placed, your specialist will send small bursts of laser energy into the vein while steadily moving the catheter back out of the vein.

As heat from this laser passes through the vein, the vein walls will contract and close off, preventing blood from flowing through it. As blood changes course into other veins, the varicose vein will begin to reabsorb into the body.
