ELVeS™ Vein Treatment

 

ELVeS™ (Endo Laser Vein System) Vein Treatment is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to address varicose veins and other venous insufficiencies. This laser treatment utilizes targeted energy to close off malfunctioning veins, rerouting blood flow to healthier vessels. It is a safe and highly effective alternative to traditional vein stripping surgery, offering quicker recovery times and reduced discomfort.

During the procedure, a small laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser energy generates heat, which collapses and seals the vein. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the treated vein, leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. The treatment is performed in-office under local anesthesia, typically taking about 30 to 45 minutes per session.

ELVeS™ is highly precise, allowing doctors to treat veins of varying sizes and depths with excellent cosmetic and functional results. It is particularly popular among individuals seeking relief from the pain, swelling, and unsightly appearance associated with varicose veins. The treatment also helps reduce the risk of complications like ulcers and blood clots caused by untreated venous insufficiency.
