Varicose Vein Laser Ablation

During varicose vein laser ablation, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein through a small incision under local anesthesia. The laser heats the vein, causing it to seal shut. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated veins, while blood is redirected through healthier veins. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting, typically takes less than an hour, and requires minimal downtime, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities the same day.
