Endovenous Ablation

The EVLT procedure process is swift and painless, allowing your doctor to erase patients' spider and varicose veins.  Before and during the EVLT, ultrasound waves help the vein doctor pin down precisely where the spider and varicose veins are located.  Some veins trail off under the skin, making only part of them visible or no part at all.  To make sure the EVLT accurately removes all the necessary veins, the ultrasound is used.  Anesthetic applied to the specific areas allows the patient to undergo the procedure without any discomfort.  The vein specialist inserts a small needle into each vein, delivering a laser probe from that needle.  The laser causes the veins to collapse, closing them so they eventually dissolve.  It only takes 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and most patients choose to return to work the same day.

VNUS Closure Procedure

VNUS Closure Procedure involves running a catheter into the diseased vein, heating the catheter so that the vein collapses and eventually disappears. The only incision made is for the catheter. Downtime is short, local anesthesia is applied, and the success rate is very good.
