How Effective Is Endovenous Laser Treatment?

Are you bothered by your varicose veins? This problem is usually more than skin-deep. Varicose veins can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. Endovenous laser treatment effectively treats these abnormal veins. It restores normal blood flow and improves the appearance of visible varicose veins.

What is Endovenous Laser Treatment?

Varicose veins can be a sign that deeper veins are not working correctly, allowing blood to pool into veins on the surface. These veins stretch and bulge, becoming varicose veins. Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) closes off damaged veins, redirecting blood flow to normal veins. Dr. Dohner performs this treatment by inserting a micro-thin fiber into the problem vein. The fiber emits pulses of energy that target the vein walls. The treated vein will collapse and fade over time.

How Effective is Endovenous Laser Treatment?

Dr. Dohner uses EVLT as a first-line treatment for most varicose veins. It can effectively treat damaged feeder veins beneath the skin. Not only does it restore healthy circulation in your legs, but it also improves their appearance by allowing the treated veins to fade over time. EVLT is usually extremely effective in improving varicose vein symptoms and concerns.

EVLT may not get rid of all your varicose veins. Many people benefit from EVLT to treat problem feeder veins, followed by another treatment like ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy or ambulatory phlebectomy. A combination of treatments helps most people enjoy aesthetically pleasing results and improved leg health.

What is Recovery Like After Endovenous Laser Treatment?

You may need to wear compression stockings after treatment to help collapse the treated vein. You can return to most of your usual activities immediately. You will need to walk every day to promote circulation. There is no recovery time, and most people have little to no discomfort in the area after treatment.

What Results Will I See With Endovenous Laser Treatment?

You may start to notice relief from varicose vein symptoms within a few weeks after treatment. During this time, the treated vein will fade as the body removes it. Once removed, these problem veins will not return. Maintaining a healthy level of physical activity and taking other precautions can keep blood flowing in your legs and limit the development of future problems.

Am I a Good Candidate for Endovenous Laser Treatment?

Only a consultation can determine whether EVLT is right for you. Good candidates usually have problematic varicose veins and want to address them. This treatment is safe and effective for almost anyone. Dr. Dohner will review your health history, including any cardiovascular or bleeding conditions, before deciding on the best treatment option for you.

★★★★★ 5/5

I’ve now had two procedures with NY Skin & Vein—one injection and one laser treatment. The care providers put me at ease by answering my questions. They’re clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. The staff in the office is professional and warm. I also appreciate their holistic approach to skincare (dermatological & cosmetic injections and laser services, as well as ZO skincare products). Looking forward to my next visit.

What a fantastic group of people that are employed at the Binghamton office. Always treat you like family and put you at ease IF you are the least bit apprehensive about procedures. DR. Stanley Anderson is absolutely amazing. Unbelievable with fantastic results. Love the way he explained EVERY little detail and options.Most appreciative of his patience with me.Highly recommend.

Doctor Dohner and his staff (at multiple locations I've visited) are all amazing. I visited the Binghamton office today after not being seen in 7 years. I was able to get a quick appointment, when I arrived they had everything ready for me and I was taken right back and had my procedure done. I have never experienced anything but professionalism and compassion from Dr. Dohner. I highly recommend seeing him and his excellent staff for anything vein related.

I went in to get my lips enhanced and some fillers. Though it wasn't the most pleasant procedure I've ever gone through. Erin and Dr. Dohner kept my mind busy with their witty and funny banter. My lips look great! Dr. Dohner and his staff are professional, compassionate, and they make sure you are comfortable and ready for your procedures. They will definitely be seeing more of me.

I came to Dr. Dohner with aching/ throbbing, leg pain, bulging veins, and tired/heavy legs. Dr. Dohner did an in office vein procedure to fix my veins. The office got me in to have the procedure within one week, before the new year because I had already met my deductible. What a wonderful experience. Thank You everyone so much.

I came to see Dr. Dohner because my legs really ached, and I had a difficult time to put a sock on my left leg because of swelling and tender to the touch. He did an in office procedure to close my veins. I can now put my sock on with no problem. I walk a lot better and can climb stairs without them aching. It was great that I didn’t have to fast and could be awake during the procedure.
