Many of my patients are interested to know how I am able to insert the laser into the unhealthy veins through small pin-holes. Well in this video blog I will show you.
The use of ultrasound is an essential part of all modern vein treatments. The use of ultrasound allows the vein specialist to “see inside the leg” to accurately identify unhealthy veins which may have faulty valves and a condition called superficial venous reflux. With ultrasound, very fine laser fibers can be inserted into the veins under a local anaesthetic. The unhealthy veins can then be cauterised using laser heat energy. Over time, the vein is absorbed by the body’s own healing processes and ultimately it is “removed”.
Ultrasound Scanning on the surface of the leg ensures very accurate placement of the laser inside the vein so that endo-venous treatment can be performed.
