What happens to the blood flow after removing the abnormal veins?
The saphenous veins are the abnormal veins most frequently eliminated by the laser surgery. The skin of the leg drains to the saphenous vein, which then flows into the deep veins. When the saphenous veins are ablated, the skin spontaneously diverts to the deep veins within a short time. The deep vein valves are always normal unless there has been a previous deep vein blood clot. Consequently, the leg vein abnormalities are instantly corrected.
