Is it dangerous to get vericose vein laser surgery?

Safe and effective: Any procedure will always have some risk but varicose veins laser surgery is considered to be a very safe procedure. Common side effects include temporary bruising, tenderness, and sometimes swelling. It is not uncommon to be able to feel the vein under the skin for a few weeks after it has been treated but this is also temporary. Serious complications like blood blood clots are very rare.

No: Venous insufficiency treatment is efficiently performed as an office-based procedure, using local anesthesia with low risk. See a phlebologist at www.Phlebology.Org, and the modern day treatments of endovenous ablation, microphlebectomy, sclerotherapy can be explained to you. Some return to work on the same day, others only after a day or two.

No: I completely agree with dr. Osobe. Any procedure will have some small amount of risk for side effects, no matter how minor. Varicose vein surgery has now become minimally invasive and carries extremely low risk of any complications occuring. You should discuss this with your vein dicotor, but vein treatment has now become extraordinarily safe.

Caveat emptor: All methods that will leave the veins in place but try to close them have local complications due to heat causing nerve damage for life and distant complications such as deep vein clots and possibly even fatal pulmonary emboli. E rte cent case had also open heart surgery from a piece of probe that broke and lodged in the heart of the patient. All for a cosmetic condition....

Typically Not: If used by the appropriate surgeon with the proper training & experience, then the answer is typically no. The MD most qualified to treat vein condition is a vascular surgeon, so seek out a board-certified one in your area. There are always some low risk, like a very small risk of blood clot or nerve injury, but in the right hands it is considered safe & effective. It is referred to as EVLT.

Laser: This is a very safe procedure ,works well
