Endovenous laser therapy is a quick, minimally invasive laser procedure that leaves no scar, has a short post-operative recovery period with only mild discomfort and is performed under local anesthesia. The area of the leg to be treated is anesthetized locally and a thin laser fiber is inserted into the abnormal vein, delivering the laser energy in short pulses. The laser energy heats the vein causing it to shrink and collapse, preventing blood from pooling. With the Ambulatory phlebectomy, there is the removal of large surface varicosities through very small incisions that frequently need no stitches. Both procedures have rapid recovery with reduced post-operative pain. Normal activities can be resumed immediately and patients have excellent clinical and aesthetic results.
