Does laser treatment replace vein stripping?
Surgically removing veins, known as “stripping” is sometimes required, but the method employ at The Laser and Varicose Vein Center is very different than the public’s perception of vein stripping. Our ambulatory phlebectomy procedure is done under local anesthesia right here at our facility. It is significantly less traumatic to the leg than traditional stripping and patients can walk out of our center, often returning to work in 2 days.
