How does Laser Varicose Vein treatment work?
The area to be treated is numbed with a local anesthetic and a thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein. As soon as the fiber is in the proper position, laser energy is applied and the physician carefully pulls the fiber throughout the length of the effected vein. This energy is delivered in short pulses. This laser energy heats the vein from within, causing it to shrink, collapse and close. Once it’s closed, healthy veins take over and redirect blood flow back toward the heart.
