Endovenous laser ablation is one of the most advanced minimally invasive methods for treating varicose vein disease. Through a small puncture in the skin, and under ultrasound guidance, a specialist inserts a laser catheter into the affected vein The laser energy heats and seals the vein from the inside, causing it to collapse and close off. Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body, leaving no visible trace on the skin’s surface. After the short and painless procedure, patients are required to wear a special compression bandage to support proper healing and enhance treatment effectiveness.
Indications for the procedure:
- Various stages of varicose vein disease
- Removal of veins with small to large diameters
- Sensations of burning, pulling, or heaviness in the legs
The procedure is performed in a sterile operating room by a vascular surgeon using the Leonardo® (Bioletic) laser system, manufactured in Germany. Duration of the procedure is approximately 20–40 minutes It requires no incisions, general anesthesia, or hospitalization.
