Video: Varicose Veins, Much More Than a Cosmetic Issue, Can Prove a Health Risk
Date:6/15/2009

  • Endovenous Laser Treatment (ELT): A minimally-invasive procedure that uses heat from a guided laser to close varicose veins. A small optic fiber is inserted through a needle into the varicose vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser is then activated and as the optic fiber is removed from the vein, it heats and closes the vein. This procedure does not require hospitalization or complicated surgery and typically takes less than an hour.

    • Most health-insurance policies cover varicose vein treatment. To learn more about varicose veins or available treatment options, please visit www.veinclinics.com or call 866-617-VEIN.

    About Varicose Veins

    Varicose veins are enlarged veins that are purple, blue or dark green in color and may appear twisted and bulging. Common related symptoms include: pain, fatigue, itching, burning, swelling, cramping, restlessness and throbbing. Varicose veins may enlarge and worsen over time and, if untreated, could lead to serious complications, such as leg ulcers or blood clots.

    There are many factors that can increase a person's chances of developing varicose veins, including heredity, age, gender, and sitting or standing for long periods of time.
