While there are many procedures available to treat varicose veins, most of them are painful, involve a hospital stay, and a long recovery time. Recently, a laser procedure, known as Endo Laser Venous System, or ELVeS, has been introduced to treat varicose veins. The laser procedure promises a quick, painless and effective relief from the problem of varicose veins.
A fiber, which transmits laser light, is inserted into the affected vein almost till the top of the thigh. While withdrawing the fiber from the vein slowly, laser energy is delivered. Since the laser gets highly absorbed in blood and water, it closes the vein from the inside. Blood no longer flows through the enlarged veins, and the pooling of venous blood no longer occurs. The treated leg appears smooth and glowing once again. Any ulcers also heal rapidly. |
