Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is the most effective at the moment therapeutic modality for elimination of venous insufficiency.

 

EVLT is performed in the office exclusively by highly qualified physicians specializing in cardiovascular medicine and dedicated to vein care and management. Each procedure is completed within 30 minutes, does not require preparation and does not entail restrictions on life style or physical activity except of strenuous exercises for about two weeks.

 

The procedure is done under local anesthesia and thus is painless. During the procedure a light beam from special laser machine seals permanently the affected vein restoring, therefore, normal circulation. Depending on the number of diseased veins more than one procedure might be required.

Other healthy veins take over normal blood flow in the leg. Over time, the vein is absorbed by the body, or it can be removed during the original procedure using microphlebectomy. Depending on the number of diseased veins more than one procedure might be required.

 

Varicose veins (and in many cases spider veins) are typically a symptom of chronic venous insufficiency (venous reflux). In addition to these visual representations the following symptoms can also be a sign of venous insufficiency:

 

  • Pain (aching or cramping feeling)
  • Heaviness
  • Tiredness
  • Burning / Tingling
  • Swelling
  • Tender areas around the veins
  • Skin Pigmentation

 

In advanced stages the disease can progress and cause more serious complications such as:

 

  • Blood clots, DVT
  • Phlebitis
  • Trophic Ulcers
  • Bleeding

 

In the pictures below you can see some of the before and after pictures. Beyond the visual improvements, the patients portrayed in the pictures reported elimination and significant improvement in all of the symptoms associated with varicose veins and venous insufficiency.
