What Do You Need to Know About Laser Vein Treatment?
Advances in medical science have seen the discovery of treatment methodologies that are more effective, almost pain-free, and involve little or no side effects. A significant number of these developments have taken place in the realm of surgical procedures for vein treatment and have been brought about by the introduction of laser vein treatment procedures. In fact, laser vein treatment procedures are now regarded as being superior to the traditional vein stripping method on multiple counts.
Laser vein therapy has proven to be effective in treating a number of conditions like ungainly broken or dilated blood vessels and other forms of unwanted vascular lesions like port wine stains, rosacea, spider veins, and vascular birthmarks. Laser vein treatment has been proven extremely effective in curing conditions associated with defective superficial veins. Besides, this treatment can also completely cure or drastically improve conditions like hemodynamic abnormalities associated with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) with superficial venous reflex.
Laser vein therapy is a less invasive form of treatment than the traditional surgical method of removing the vein, litigating and dividing the sapheneous trunk and all proximal tributaries, and then stripping or using the avulsion phlebectomy method. This treatment does not involve multiple incisions and hence the recovery time is less when compared to its traditional counterparts and the patient can enjoy a better quality of life in the post-operative period.
In this form of therapy, a concentrated beam of laser ray is directed at a particular blood vessel through the skin. The hemoglobin in the blood absorbs this ray and causes the vein to disintegrate and disappear. This is an almost painless method and patients usually report experiencing a sensation resembling a rubber band snapping. Sometimes, physicians administer a topical anesthetic cream to the patient to alleviate the pain, while a cool compress is all it takes to provide relief from any pain after the treatment. Since a narrow beam of laser ray is used in the treatment, there is no damage to the tissues and cells adjacent to the blood vessel being treated. But even if there is minor bruising around the area that has been treated, it disappears within a few days of the treatment, leaving no trace whatsoever. Furthermore, this bruising is caused only when a few specific kinds of laser beams are used.
Apart from the afore-mentioned benefits, laser vein therapy is also preferred by many patients because they can immediately resume normal daily activities right after the treatment. Laser vein treatment is thus, not surprisingly, preferred by medical professionals and patients alike.
