Laser Treatment for Varicose Vein
Monday, August 18th, 2008Laser treatment for varicose veins can assist in getting rid of those problematic and disturbing bulging veins that seem to creep up on your legs. You may not be experiencing any problems at all with your varicose veins, but choose to have treatment just so that your legs will look better.
Laser treatment for varicose veins may not be covered by your insurance if you are having the veins treated for aesthetic reasons rather than for health issues.
Laser treatment for varicose veins uses ultrasound tools that consists of a slender laser fiber that is easily placed inside your vein by way of a small slit that is made at the varicose vein site and delivers pulsed laser heat to the damaged vein wall.
Laser treatment for varicose veins or EVLT openly aims towards the lumen of the blood vessel, shutting off the targeted area and rerouting the flow of blood to other veins in your leg.
Laser treatment for varicose veins takes about 45 minutes and is typically performed as an outpatient procedure; the majority of cases are done in your vein doctor’s office under a local anesthetic. The force from the laser directly hits your vein walls, decreasing them and shutting down the malfunctioning vein so that the blood is incapable of flowing through it. This process gets rid of the bulging produced by the varicose vein at its base. When the varicose vein has been addressed, the blood from your damaged vein is sidetracked to the healthy veins that are in your leg.
In most cases, laser treatment for varicose veins has a much quicker recovery time as well as providing immediate resolution of your symptoms. There is minimal bruising and you will be encouraged to walk right away after your laser vein treatment.
