Laser Vein Treatment: Effective Removal of Dark Veins & Varicose Veins

Laser surgery (endovenous laser ablation) effectively treats varicose veins—enlarged, swollen veins on legs, ankles, feet caused by weak/damaged valves. The minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to seal and collapse the affected vein.

Procedure Steps

  1. Preparation: Skin cleaned, local anesthetic applied.
  2. Laser Fiber Insertion: Thin fiber inserted through small incision.
  3. Laser Energy Delivery: Heat collapses and seals vein wall.
  4. Fiber Withdrawal: Fiber removed after full treatment.

Performed outpatient with minimal recovery. Advantages:

  • Non-surgical, minimally invasive
  • Minimal pain/discomfort
  • Quick (usually <1 hour)
  • Little to no scarring
  • Effective for varicose veins
  • Improves appearance and reduces pain
  • High success rates

Post-procedure: possible swelling, bruising, tenderness. Compression stockings may be recommended. Follow doctor's instructions for smooth recovery.
