Historically, patients have had several choices for treating varicose veins, depending on the severity. They could make lifestyle changes, such as eating less, exercising more and wearing support hose. This regimen has proven helpful in somewhat reducing leg pain and further deterioration of the vein, particularly in mild cases. But sooner or later most patients return to their previous lifestyles, and thus their previous symptoms typically re-occur.

Using a VenaCure system, we can fix the problem at the source by delivering just the right wavelength of laser energy to just the right tissue, causing the incompetent vein to close while your body automatically routes the blood to other healthy veins.

The actual procedure takes about 45 minutes right in our office and no general anesthesia is required, just a local anasthesia. We then inserts a thin laser fiber into the vein through a sheath and the laser light is emitted through the fiber. While you might feel some unfamiliar sensation, it is not painful.

There may be some slight swelling right after the procedure, but you could start seeing results right away.

In clinical trials treatment has proved to be 97% effective - an outstanding record of success. Therefore, you should experience no recurrence in the veins that have been treated. Follow-up procedures may be desired to obtain optimal aesthetic results.



How Venous Reflux Occurs
  • Vein valves fail
  • Reflux and poor drainage of venous blood result
  • Column of blood causes pressure to build up in leg veins
  • Increased pressure may cause surface veins to become varicose
