Endovenous Laser Treatment

Varicose veins are usually the result of a breakdown of valves in the veins, causing a back flow of blood. This leads to unsightly swelling and often discomfort. Until recently, the removal of varicose veins meant a surgical procedure involving general anesthesia, multiple incisions, a painful recovery period of several weeks and the likelihood of scarring.

Today there is a much better alternative. Endovenous Laser Treatment of the greater saphenous vein (ELT) is a quick, minimally-invasive FDA-approved technique with little or no side effects. The treatment is performed in the office under local anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes. Laser energy applied through a thin fiber is used to damage and eventually eliminate the saphenous vein. With a compression bandage in place, you can resume normal activities almost immediately. And many insurance carriers cover varicose vein treatment.
