Laser Varicose Veins Surgery

Via the use of lasers, doctors can reduce varicose veins. These ugly veins are many times very ugly and painful for the average person. Laser varicose veins surgery reduces and seals the vein, which causes blood to flow to neighboring veins. This is a surgical procedure that does not require a regular hospital stay.

This type of varicose vein procedure is often recommended for patients who have painful veins that are red and swollen. Quite naturally, you can expect certain side effects such as bruising and discoloration. But your doctor will thoroughly examine and question you before surgery to rule out other possible risks.

Aftercare for this type of varicose vein surgery includes using ice packs, checking your surgical incisions, taking sponge baths, walking and keeping your legs raised. These are just a few of the things you will be instructed to do after surgery.
