Laser Treatments for Varicose Veins
Thermische Behandlung von Krampfadern
Advancements in phlebology have led to the development of minimally invasive procedures for treating varicose veins. One such method is endovenous laser therapy, which involves inserting laser fibers into the affected veins. This technique has been in use for over 20 years and has undergone continuous refinement. Currently, diode lasers with radial light emission are commonly employed, enhancing both the effectiveness and patient comfort of the treatment.
The primary advantage of thermal vein treatments is their minimally invasive nature, requiring only a small puncture comparable to a routine blood draw. Despite this minimal invasiveness, thermal methods are characterized by high sustainability and low recurrence rates. This combination of relatively low complication rates and high therapeutic efficiency has established thermal methods as standard tools in modern phlebology worldwide.
Endovenous laser therapy offers the benefit of treating even short vein segments, sometimes just a few centimeters in length. This capability is particularly advantageous for addressing complex, highly tortuous varicose veins, often in combination with open surgical procedures.
