Varicosis is an extremely common disease that affects over half the population. The reason is still unknown, but certain factors, such as hereditary, seem to play a decisive role. The condition can be aggravated by pregnancy, menopause, obesity, aging of the tissues and the use of birth control pills and hormonal therapy.

Varicose veins are veins that have become permanently dilated. They impede blood flow and hinder the return of blood to the heart from the lower parts of the body. When the valves in a vein become damaged, they are unable to function properly and reflux can occur, in other words, blood may flow backwards. This can lead to venous congestion and swelling.

HOW LASER TREATMENT WORKS

1. Noninvasive laser light is absorbed by the blood in the deep varicose vein.

2. Light energy is converted into thermal energy, coagulates the blood and destroys the vein’s function.

3. The vein is reabsorbed into the body and is no longer visible.

Did you ever believe you could be free from unsightly, painful spider and varicose veins - safely and inexpensively?

At one time there was no alternative to surgery in the treatment of varicose and spider veins. However, since the 1920's, a non-surgical procedure called Sclerotherapy has been in use in Europe. Sclerotherapy involves injecting medication into a diseased dilated vein to induce a reaction in the walls of the vein. Sclerosis, or hardening of the vein, results, preventing blood from flowing through it. Blood is re-routed through the healthy superficial and deep venous systems, and eventually the varicose veins disappear.
