Why Laser? A laser is a highly concentrated beam of light that can be delivered precisely to a targeted area. Laser vein treatment is significantly less invasive than traditional vein stripping and takes less than one hour. Diseased veins are shut down and the blood is re-routed through healthy veins. Immediate relief of symptoms is typical. The procedure requires only a local anesthetic and the appearance of the abnormal vein is instantly improved with minimal to no scarring.
