In order to undergo treatment with varicose veins with a laser, just get the direction of a phlebologist.There is no need for hospitalization and prolonged preparation of the patient, therefore, laser treatment of varicose veins is carried out on an outpatient basis.
The impact occurs regardless of the caliber of the patient.It can be a small vascular mesh, or a large nodal formation.The very next day, the patient can completely return to his usual lifestyle, with insignificant restrictions.
Before carrying out the procedure, a study of the affected zone and a clear definition of its boundaries using ultrasonic research are carried out.It is extremely important to determine the presence of tributaries of tributaries.
Endovasal (or intravascular) laser acts on the principle of selective absorption of oxyghemoglobin and hemoglobin.The patient is in a horizontal position.The surgeon first processes the place of puncture, makes a puncture microscopic in its size, and introduces a catheter into the lumen of the sick vein, which is a flexible tube with the light of the light.With the help of heat that it emits, the walls of the vessel are soldered and brewed.As a result of this, blood ceases to flow through Vienna, it turns off from the general circulation, and then turns into an inconspicuous fibrous litter.
After the catheter is extracted, a small sterile bandage is applied to the puncture.After the intervention for the patient, wearing special underwear for varicose veins, which will create the necessary compression.
The advantages of the method
- Laser treatment is highly effective and gives a real result.
- Rehabilitation after it is a matter of hours.
- The operation lasts no more than an hour.
- During manipulation, the skin, fabrics, and other vessels are not violated at all.
- The aesthetic advantage is that at the site of the implementation of the catheter there is not the slightest trace.
- The technique is suitable for people with a low pain threshold, as it is almost painless.
- It is possible to treat on several vessels, and on different limbs in one session.
- The possibility of combined exposure, for example, using sclerotherapy.
- The use of local anesthesia guarantees the minimum number of negative cases of intolerance, as is the case with general anesthesia.
In order to determine the need and the possibility of such an operation, it is necessary to first do an ultrasound study and duplex scanning.
To whom is this treatment shown
At the moment, there are many ways of radical getting rid of varicose veins.This is sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, radio frequency effects.
Removing varicose veins with a laser is carried out if:
- the vein extensions up to 10 mm occurred;
- A small number of tributaries affected by the disease is determined;
- The course of the vein is even, without bends, in the presence of one bend for laser treatment, you can use two LEDs with a catheter, severe vein’s conviction is a complete contraindication to the operation;
- It is also impossible to carry out the procedure in the presence of complications such as formation in the area of damage to trophic ulcers.
Many experts recommend laser treatment as a modern alternative to full surgical intervention.Moreover, the conduct of such a non -invasive procedure in the presence of a modern type of equipment and sufficient qualifications of the doctor allows us to talk about a high degree of safety for the patient.
With severe and multiple pathology, sometimes it is necessary to conduct several treatment sessions.How many of them are needed for each patient, only the doctor determines, depending on the duration and degree of neglect of the disease.An important factor in solving such an issue is the age and general condition of a person.Sometimes, after the intervention, slight redness of the skin may occur, which passes very quickly, and does not require additional exposure.
Rebilitation
After the operation, the patient should take a walk on foot, at a slow pace, but not less than 40 minutes.Then he must wear compression knitwear, and wear it constantly for about five days.
The first few days later it is not recommended to sunbathe, engage in physical exercises, take a hot bath.
Contraindications
Despite sufficient safety, therapy with the help of a laser has certain contraindications:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- The use of glucocorticoids and agents that contribute to photosensitization in the treatment.
- Expressed purulent processes.
- Severe chronic diseases with the development of renal, liver and pulmonary failure.
- Diabetes of any shape.
- Thrombophlebitis.
