Traditionally vein treatments are complicated and can require up to weeks of downtime after the procedure is completed. Now with the Endovenous Laser Treatment, patients can seal their harmful varicose veins with a simple in office procedure, and return to work the next day. The procedure works by using light pulse energy emitted though a laser fiber threaded into the vein wall. This causes the vein walls to collapse. Once the vein is sealed the body reabsorbs the vein.
