Endovenous Laser Ablation is a minimally invasive, office-based treatment for varicose veins. It uses ultrasound guidance to direct laser energy into diseased, malfunctioning veins. Once laser energy is delivered, the targeted veins collapse and seal closed. Afterward, blood flow is redirected to healthy, surrounding veins.
If you suffer from the effects of varicose veins treatment, are worried about blood clots you may benefit from treatment. Swollen, visible veins are caused by underlying vein disease, also known as venous insufficiency. As venous disease progresses, it can lead to painful and uncomfortable medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis.
