Varicose Veins
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins, typically found in the legs. They occur when valves inside the veins weaken, allowing blood to pool instead of flowing smoothly back to the heart. This can cause:
- Visible bulging veins
- Aching or tired legs
- Itching or burning sensation
- Skin discoloration
Laser treatment offers a minimally invasive option for varicose veins. Here’s how it benefits you:
- Less pain and scarring: Compared to traditional surgery, laser treatment is less invasive, leading to quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
- Quick procedure: The in-office procedure usually takes less than an hour.
- Faster recovery: You can often return to normal activities right after treatment.
- Improved appearance: Laser treatment effectively shrinks varicose veins, improving the look of your legs.
- Potentially fewer side effects: Compared to other procedures, laser treatment carries a lower risk of side effects.
However, it’s important to consult a doctor to see if laser treatment is right for you. While effective, it may not be suitable for all cases of varicose veins.

How is the laser fiber introduced
No Surgical Cutting – Minimally Invasive Approach:
If you are feeling apprehensive about the procedure, rest assured that Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive treatment. There are no surgical incisions or cutting involved. Instead, a thin laser fiber is introduced into the affected vein using a small needle, similar to an IV placement. This ensures minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and excellent cosmetic results.
