Many people might think that the only way to treat varicose vein disease is to have the veins removed through a process called surgical 'stripping' performed by vascular surgeons. Not only is this procedure invasive, the veins have a high chance of returning. In the US today, nearly 80% of patients are treated by EndoVenous Laser or Radiofrequency Ablation, which is a simple walk-in/walk-out procedure. 

The benefits of EndoVenous Laser Ablation (EVLA/ELA/EVLT) compared to surgical stripping include:

 

• Lower risk of complications,
• Less pain,
• No admission to hospital or need for a general anaesthetic, 
• No unsightly scars,
• Much faster recover time with most patients returning to work the same day,
• Lower risk of veins recurring, 
• More affordable. 

 

Some vascular surgeons in Europe and America are now switching and offering EndoVenous Laser Therapy to thier varicose vein patients as a preferance. 

The Leg Vein Doctor now offers this procedure at thier Brisbane and Toowoomba Clinics.
