Venous reflux disease is a common condition. Up to 40% of women and 20% of men suffer from symptoms such as fatigue, pain and swelling of lower limbs. Primary causes include congenital connective tissue weakness, hormonal changes and long periods of standing and sitting. Impaired veins can be more than a cosmetic problem. Left untreated venous reflux disease can progress to skin changes, discoloration, inflammation and venous ulcer.

The treatment can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia with key benefits for your patients:

• excellent medical and cosmetic results
• quick return to normal activities
• short treatment time

 

"Endovenous laser therapy was significantly more effective compared with stripping (AOR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.40-1.87), foam therapy (AOR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.28-1.75), and radiofrequency ablation (AOR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.15-1.27)."
