Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

As blood flows through your veins to the heart, stop valves are supposed to prevent blood from flowing backwards as gravity pulls down. If the valves are weak and do not close properly, blood pools in the vein, forcing the walls to enlarge and bulge out. Now these vein are not efficient conduit of blood. The Endovenous Laser Treatment uses targeted laser energy to seal the vein shut and help you look and feel better fast.

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a minimally invasive laser procedure for treating varicose veins without incision. As you lie comfortable on your back, procedure is performed under local anesthetic.  Local anesthetic is also injected around the entire length of vein to reduce the discomfort. The laser energy heats the vein walls, shrinking them and closing the faulty vein so that the blood cannot flow through it. This eliminates the leaking back blood at the source. There is no incision or hospital stay is required. EVLT has excellent long term results. Pressure stocking are worn for one week post procedure.

Laser For Spider Veins

Laser therapy is most effective for very small spider veins. During laser treatment, a laser is applied to the skin over spider veins. Laser energy heats spider veins causing them to coagulate and shrink. Two to four treatments may be required for optimum results at six to eight week interval to get desired results.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a liquid agent through a tiny needle directly into your small feeder veins and spider veins, damaging their inner lining that result in collapse of the treated segments. Expect that two to four sclerotherapy sessions at six to eight weeks intervals may be necessary to achieve your desired results. Pressure stocking are worn for one week post procedure.

Phlebectomy

This procedure is meant for larger, wiggly, and ropy veins that are prominently visible on the legs. These varicose veins are ideally treated by making tiny nick and then taking out the segment of he vein with crochet hook under local anesthetic. This procedure is simple and almost pain free.
