EndolaserEndolaser, an endovenous laser treatment, is preformed in the office as a minimally invasive method for treating large varicose veins. Developed by The Vein Treatment Center, Endolaser uses existing laser and ultrasound technology to close the main vein from the inside with laser energy. Under color duplex ultrasound guidance, a minute laser fiber is
inserted directly into the vein through a catheter (tiny tube).
Pulses of laser energy are released along the course of the vein
to seal it completely. Endolaser requires only a small nick in the
skin and local anesthesia. The patient walks out of the office and
returns to his or her normal daily routine immediately without any
pain medication. There is no hospital visit, stitches, or injection
of chemical substances. This technique can be combined with Mini-phlebectomy
for the treatment of smaller branches, along with follow-up sclerotherapy
to erase any remaining spider veins.
This endovenous laser treatment (Endolaser™) is a patented procedure that laser manufacturers often refer to or publicize as EVLT™, ELVS™, or ELAS™. It is a safe and effective treatment for large varicose veins, specifically approved by the FDA for treatment of greater saphenous vein reflux. There have been no serious complications reported in the thousands of cases performed within the United States and abroad. Endolaser has an overall success rate greater than 97%. These results are already considered better than those of traditional surgery.
