Laser ablation, one of the safe techniques of modern varicose vein surgery, is the most up-to-date minimally invasive method. In endovenous ablation (laser/radiofrequency), the heat energy of the laser seals the walls of the dilated vein together. As a result, the varicose vein is easily eliminated.
The technique of laser surgery can be briefly described as follows: a laser fiber is inserted into the dilated vein and withdrawn while emitting laser light from inside. The dilated vein gradually shrinks and disappears. Put simply, "it is as if the veins are burned from the inside."
Advantages of laser ablation treatment:
It is a minimally invasive and safe treatment method
It leaves no scars or visible marks on the skin (the procedure is performed through a small puncture)
Laser radiation affects only the diseased vein, not the surrounding tissues or the rest of the body
It does not require general anesthesia; it is performed under local anesthesia, so the patient is conscious during the procedure, and the procedure is painless
No hospital stay is required, meaning the patient can leave the hospital immediately after endovenous laser ablation
After the procedure, the large veins are eliminated immediately and you can carry on with your daily life.
