Endovenous laser: to eliminate varicose veins

Safe and mildly traumatic, this Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins in Legs eliminates almost all varicose veins for perfect legs. Of all the operative techniques, this method is the least traumatic.

The principle of the Endovenous laser:

The endovenous laser treats unsightly surface varicose veins. It acts on the vein inside the thigh or saphenous varix. Of all the operative techniques, this method is the least traumatic. This is particularly a good alternative to stripping. The heat emitted by the laser alters the vein. It breaks down and is eliminated by the body over time (between three to six months). The Best Surgeon for Varicose Veins is the vascular surgeon or phlebologist which operates varicose veins under ultrasound control.

How is the intervention done?

The laser fiber is introduced inside the vein, most often at the knee. The infiltration of local anesthetic forms a thickness of water around the vein to protect the surrounding tissues of the laser and to avoid any risk of burns. The specialist activates a laser shot every three millimeters, removing the fiber as it goes outward. If necessary, the varicose branches are removed by phlebectomy using tiny incisions. A compression stocking is placed.
