Advanced Treatment For Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are bulging veins that can cause pain, aches, heaviness, swelling, and even restless leg syndrome. These enlarged veins are extremely common and occur when the valves inside the vessels do not close properly. The valves in our veins are supposed to keep the blood flowing in a particular direction, flowing to the heart. However, when these valves are not working properly, blood can fall backwards, pushing on the walls of the vessel and leaking into the surrounding soft tissue. This process can lead to pain, swelling, skin changes, and sometimes even skin ulcers and blood clots.

The Solution: Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)

The Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) system by CoolTouch® uses light waves to correct even the most severe varicose veins and is one of the safest and most effective treatments for this condition. Prior to the procedure, a painless ultrasound is used to diagnosis the root of the problem and map out the damaged veins. This ultrasound helps determine the specific areas that require treatment and what treatment is best. EVLA is a minimally invasive procedure and usually only takes about an hour. Dr. Verebelyi administers a local anesthetic and then inserts a pin-sized laser fiber into the damaged vein. EVLA treatment then uses pulses of laser energy to close off the affected vein without damaging the surrounding tissue. Patients are back on their feet the very same day.

Benefits of EVLA Treatment:

• Minimally invasive
• Safer and more effective than other heat ablation methods for varicose veins
• Only requires a local anesthetic, not general anesthesia
• Little to no discomfort
• Most patients notice immediate improvement
