Laser surgery to remove veins in the legs, was the first innovative surgery of its kind that successfully replaced the classic “stripping” surgery.
This surgery, preceded by other existing technologies that include: surgery using radio waves, surgery using steam and treatment with foam injections.

Why is this method good?
Significantly reduced suffering compared to old methods!
First thing first, I want to make clear, the treatment is not painful, the insertion of the needle and the tube is done under local anesthesia. In addition, mechanization that the treatment does not include cuts, rapid recovery and mild pain. (Painkillers can be treated)

How we do it?
What is done during the surgery?
This surgery is a minimally invasive surgery.
Using a needle, an optical fiber of laser is threaded into the diseased vein. This procedure is performed under the supervision and guidance of an ultrasound.
Through the insertion of the needle, the optical fiber is positioned along the vein, and when the optical fiber is positioned precisely, the attending physician connects the fiber to the laser device.
The laser device produces the laser beam and is the one that raises the temperature inside the vein to about 240 degrees Celsius.
The vein wall contracts and burns, while the laser device pulls the optical fiber back out, at a speed of 1 or 2 millimeters per second.
The vein is clogged and over time degenerates, breaks down and is absorbed, so that after a few months the vein disappears.
The branches of the treated vein are not torn, as is the case with stripping.
Recovery is quick and easy thanks to this technology.
The length of the treatment ranges from 30 to 40 minutes
