The Benefits of Endovenous Laser Ablation for Varicose Veins

Introduction to Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous laser ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It involves the use of laser energy to heat and seal off the affected vein, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.

How It Works

During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the varicose vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser energy is then delivered to the vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.

Benefits of Endovenous Laser Ablation

• Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional vein stripping surgery, endovenous laser ablation requires only a small incision and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
• Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience minimal discomfort and can return to their normal activities within a few days.
• High Success Rate: Endovenous laser ablation has been shown to be highly effective in treating varicose veins, with minimal risk of recurrence.
