How is the VenaCure™ laser procedure different from surgery?
Surgery involves considerable preparation, general anesthesia, larger skin incisions, pain in the affected areas, and a lengthy recovery period. The medical laser technology used in VenaCure™ Laser Treatment is a marked advance in several ways. First, it’s “minimally invasive,” meaning the entry point through which your physician gets the laser fiber into the vein is extremely small, not even requiring stitches. Instead of larger open incisions and “stripping” the vein out of the leg, VenaCure™ Laser Treatment uses precise ultrasound guidance and laser energy to close the vein without stripping. Second, there is really no “recovery” to speak of. In fact, you’ll be up and walking as soon as it’s over, able to return to work the next day. Third, the risk of infection and other complications of surgery are extremely low. Fourth, it involves minimal discomfort.
