What Is Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins?
Laser treatment for varicose veins is a minimally invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to shrink and close off the damaged veins. This stops blood flow in the affected veins, redirecting it to healthier veins, improving circulation. The procedure is quick, often completed as an outpatient operation, and ensures minimal discomfort and scarring.
How Is Laser Surgery for Varicose Veins Better Than Conventional Surgery?
Unlike conventional surgeries, which require larger incisions and extended recovery times, laser treatment offers several advantages:
Minimally invasive:
Reduces pain and tissue damage
Minimal bleeding:
The laser seals veins as it works, reducing bleeding risks.
Quicker recovery:
Patients can resume daily activities within a few days.
Less risk of infection:
With smaller incisions, there’s a lower chance of post-operative infections.
Outpatient procedure:
No prolonged hospital stays; patients go home the same day.
Minimal scarring:
Compared to traditional surgery, laser treatment leaves nearly no visible scars.
