Endovenous Laser Treatment
Often times when we hear about varicose veins and spider veins we think of traditional vein stripping methods or radiofrequency removal methods. However other forms of removal do exist and work quite efficiently and effectively. For the millions of Americans plagued with bulging and ropy painful varicose veins, Ednovenous laser treatment is a viable removal option.
ABC in Florida reported on this procedure, "It involves a laser fiber inserted into a tiny incision in the leg. Energy emitted from the tip of the fiber causes the varicose vein to close. The vein reroutes the blood to another vein and the bluish bulges disappears. She says, "There's a very small risk, less than one percent, of causing a clot with in the deep veins. That's one thing we check for and make sure we are doing the procedure correctly."
Regardless of the removal method, it is important to treat varicose veins before they turn into more serious problems like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
