If money and recuperation time were not an issue, a recent study showed that most people would elect to have cosmetic work done on their body. Whether you are looking to improve the look of your legs, face or hair, Venolase is a procedure that is minimally invasive and uses a laser to treat problem areas. Most procedures are done on an outpatient case-by-case basis and the costs are affordable because there is no surgery, hospital time or anesthesia required.
If you suffer from varicose veins, Venolase has treatments to restore the natural beauty in your legs. By restoring health and rejuvenation to the veins, the high percentage of people suffering from varicose veins over the age of 50 can be greatly reduced. Laser therapy and phlebectomy are used in the reduction of varicose veins.
Varicose veins affect some 31% of women and roughly 17% of men over the age of 40. A varicose vein is a vein that is stretched and swollen with blood. The veins are transporting blood all over the body and there are numerous valves throughout the veins. As a person gets older, or perhaps goes through a pregnancy, extra pressure is put on those valves and they can not function properly. The varicose veins that typically show are the ones furthest from the heart or closest to the surface of the skin.
Varicose veins are not just unsightly but they can be extremely uncomfortable to the patient as well. Swelling, aching, fatigue, cramps, discoloration, and increased pain are a result if not treated. At worse, an ulceration will occur and may become impossible to treat.
With Venolase vascular laser therapy, treatment can affect the unsightly and uncomfortable veins in about one hour. A tiny laser fiber is pushed through the diseased vein and causes the vein to completely shut down. The circulatory system in the body has plenty of available veins for the blood to pass through to other parts of the body.
Another possible treatment with Venolase for varicose veins is called phlebectomy. This procedure calls for a lot of miniature incisions along the visible vein lines and it takes out the diseased area. There was a procedure similar to this which was called vein stripping which is more expensive and invasive. A phlebectomy allows you to perform normal physical activities within two weeks.
