MD Laser Medicine & Surgery has recently added the Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) procedure to its patient services. VenaCure EVLT is a fast, safe and minimally invasive laser vein treatment for the elimination of varicose veins that is more than 95% effective.
“Approximately 25 percent of all women and 15 percent of all men have varicose veins,” said Clement Banda, M.D., who is the Medical Director at MD Laser Medicine & Surgery. “Because the traditional treatment for this condition, surgical vein stripping and ligation, tends to be a painful procedure with a lengthy recovery time, patients who suffer from varicose veins often decide to just suffer with them.”
In the EVLT treatment, a laser fiber is inserted into the vein through a tiny puncture site. The laser energizes the fiber as it is withdrawn from the vein. Energy emitted from the tip of the fiber causes only the treated vein to close, while the body automatically routes the blood to other healthy veins. The patient receives only local anesthetic and experiences little to no discomfort during the 45-minute procedure. After treatment, a patient can simply walk out of the office and resume normal activities immediately. Because varicose veins are usually due to a medical condition called chronic venous insufficiency, most health insurance plans cover it as a medically necessary procedure.
“This is a varicose vein treatment that’s ideal for today’s busy lifestyles,” notes Dr. Banda. “Patients can look and feel better almost immediately. It’s very rewarding when advancements in medical technology enable us to provide an alternative that’s far superior to older treatments—and is now replacing them as the treatment of choice.”
