Varicose veins in the legs and laser

Do you suffer from varicose veins? If the answer is yes, this article will interest you because we will explain to you how to solve this problem easily, permanently and without surgery.

Varicose veins are a permanent dilation of the superficial veins of the legs, which appear as a result of malfunction of the venous valves. These valves open to allow blood to flow upward toward the heart and close to prevent inverse circulation. If these valves do not close properly, pressure in the veins increases, blood pools and a dilation or varicose vein appears.

Why do varicose veins appear?

The main causes for the occurrence of this disease include family history, excess weight and hormonal changes due to pregnancy or menopause. Lifestyle also influences the appearance of this ailment: spending many hours standing or sitting can trigger varicose veins.

From conventional surgery to laser

The conventional system to eliminate varicose veins is surgery, an invasive procedure which is performed in hospital and forces the patient to remain still for days. However, in recent years, and thanks to advances in medical technology, varicose veins can now be removed safely, comfortably and efficiently with laser.

 

INTERmedic offers the Multidiode Endo™ system, a minimally invasive alternative to endovenous treatment of varicose veins without hospitalization and under local anesthesia. The diseased vein is coagulated by introducing a laser fiber through a micro-incision in the skin. This outpatient treatment without postoperative pain allows the patient to resume his or her normal activities without being immobilized for days.
