“The brief surgery time and quick recovery of Endolaser appeals to men, Navarro says. In the past, the majority of his patients were women, who are more likely to get the surgery for cosmetic reasons. But his clientele is changing. ‘Men don’t want to lose time from work,’ Navarro says. ‘Now they can see it can be done in the office and they can go right back to work.’”

“Endovascular laser closure (Endolaser) is the most recent cutting-edge breakthrough in treatments for large varicose veins. Navarro reports a 95 percent success rate with this minimally invasive surgery.”

“’Ahora, cuando las venas son grandes debido a un fallo de la vena principal llamada safena, en vez de este procedimiento, existe el endoláser donde, con anestesia local, entramos a la vena principal pasando una fibra de láser que, con su energía, cierra y suelda la vena,’ describe el doctor Navarro. ‘La gran ventaja es que dura 45 minutos y puedes ir directamente al trabajo después porque no necesita tanta recuperación como en las cirugía,’ explica.”

"'Live a healthy life and have varicose veins treated as soon as you see them - before they become too big a problem,' suggests Luis Navarro, M.D., founding surgeon of The Vein Treatment Center in New York City. The good news: There are now more treatment options, with most allowing patients to return to daily activities immediately."

"As if tired, aching legs aren't enough, about 20 percent of women develop varicose veins - those ugly, blue, swollen, ropelike veins - during pregnancy, says Luis Navarro, director of The Vein Treatment Center in New York City."

"According to Navarro, blueberries are good for circulation. Foods that contain flavonoids - such as blueberries - help increase the tone and strength of veins and reduce the fragility of capillaries."

"A new cutting edge laser treatment zaps varicose veins without painful surgery. 'This new treatment is a major advance,' Dr. Navarro told The Enquirer."

"’I've seen women develop spider veins only two weeks after they started taking the pill,' says Luis Navarro, M.D., Founder and Director of The Vein Treatment Center in New York."

"But with the last couple of years, I have developed a new treatment for large varicose veins that uses laser technology to close the main vein. Instead of pulling out the vein with surgery, we close it with laser energy."

"Worry over a swollen vein on her leg sent Karen, a Manhattan mother of two, to the office of Dr. Luis Navarro, Medical Director of The Vein Treatment Center on the upper East Side."

"'Every time you contract your calf muscles, you improve circulation in your leg veins, which ultimately keeps varicose veins at bay,' says Luis Navarro, M.D., Director of The Vein Treatment Center in New York City."

"Heredity appears to be the most significant risk factor, according to Luis Navarro, M.D."

"'The best solution (for spider veins),’ says Luis Navarro, M.D., of New York City's Vein Treatment Center, 'is sclerotherapy - injections of fatty acids or other chemicals into veins.'"

"According to Luis Navarro, M.D., Surgeon and Director of The Vein Treatment Center in New York City, you can inherit spider veins or develop them from birth control pills (the hormones weaken vein walls), obesity, pregnancy, constipation (all of which put pressure on blood vessels)."

"When you have no hope, go to Luis Navarro for any vein problem. He is a miracle worker."

"According to Dr. Luis Navarro, sclerotherapy remains the gold standard in treating spider veins."

"According to Luis Navarro, M.D., sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure usually requiring no anesthesia. It entails injecting the vein with a chemical solution to close it down. It's simple and quick - you can have it done on your lunch hour."
