Treatment under local anesthesia
The treatment is performed under local anesthesia that is administered into the skin and around the relevant vein. This ensures good contact between the fiber and the vein while you feel nothing of the treatment itself. Only the skin is numbed, so you will be able to stand and walk as usual after the treatment.
Laser treatment is very effective
A thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein through a needle and heats the inside of the vein so that it contracts. The treated vein is immediately left in the body but will eventually be absorbed by your body. The heating itself takes 5-10 minutes, depending on the length of the vein. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia.
