Laser Vein

Laser vein treatment is an alternative to surgical stripping of the greater saphenous vein. A tiny laser fiber is placed under the skin, usually through a needle stick, into the damaged vein. Pulses of laser light pass inside the vein, the action causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. The procedure is done in your doctor's office under local anesthesia.

After the laser vein treatment a bandage or compression hose is placed on the treated leg. In most cases you will be able to return to work within a day or two. Laser vein treatment is FDA-approved for the treatment of the great saphenous and other leg veins. Most insurance plans now cover laser vein treatment for symptomatic varicose veins.
