Endovenous Laser Varicose Vein Surgery – Indication & Contraindications

Endovenous laser varicose vein surgery is a technique that reduces varicose veins by using heat from a laser. Varicose veins are bulging and swollen veins that usually affect the thighs and calves. A laser is a light-emitting device that emits a small beam of radiation. Laser surgery closes and shrinks the varicose vein, resulting in scar tissue within the vessel. This seals the vein. Blood instead flows through other veins in the area.
