Are you struggling with uncomfortable, swollen, or unsightly varicose or spider veins? You’re not alone. These vein conditions are more than just cosmetic concerns—they can impact your health and quality of life. Fortunately, laser treatment offers a modern, minimally invasive, and highly effective solution.
At Dr. Amol Lahoti’s Vascular & Endovascular Clinic, we specialize in advanced laser vein treatments designed to restore healthy circulation and confidence. Here’s everything you need to know about this cutting-edge procedure.
What Are Varicose and Spider Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, bulging, twisted veins, typically found on the legs. They develop when vein valves become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool. Spider veins are smaller, red or purple veins that may appear like a web or tree branch, usually on the legs or face.
While spider veins are mostly cosmetic, varicose veins can cause:
- Leg pain or heaviness
- Swelling
- Itching or burning
- Skin changes or ulcers in severe cases
Both conditions are signs of venous insufficiency, which deserves proper medical attention.
Common Causes and Risk Factors
Several factors can increase your risk of developing varicose or spider veins:
- Genetics – Family history plays a major role.
- Prolonged Sitting or Standing – Common in professionals like teachers, nurses, and office workers.
- Obesity – Extra weight adds pressure on veins.
- Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, menopause, and birth control pills can weaken vein walls.
- Aging – As we age, vein elasticity decreases.
Why Treat Varicose Veins?
Untreated vein issues can lead to serious complications like:
- Chronic leg pain
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis)
- Skin discoloration or ulcers
Beyond medical reasons, treating varicose veins also significantly improves your self-esteem and comfort.
Advanced Laser Treatment at Dr. Amol Lahoti
Thanks to technology, there’s no need for invasive surgery. One of the most advanced and reliable procedures today is Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)
How Does Laser Treatment Work?
EVLT involves using laser energy to seal and close the affected vein. Here’s how it works:
- Ultrasound Mapping – To locate problematic veins.
- Local Anesthesia – Ensures comfort during the procedure.
- Laser Fiber Insertion – A fine fiber is placed inside the vein.
- Laser Activation – Heat is delivered, causing the vein to collapse and seal.
- Natural Absorption – The body absorbs the sealed vein over time, and blood flow redirects to healthy veins.
This entire process takes less than an hour and requires no hospital stay.
Top Benefits of Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins
Patients choose EVLT for many compelling reasons:
- ✅ Minimally Invasive – No large cuts or stitches
- ✅ Quick Recovery – Most return to normal life within 1–2 days
- ✅ Safe and Precise – Laser energy targets only the diseased vein
- ✅ Cosmetic Improvement – Say goodbye to visible veins and skin irritation
- ✅ Long-Lasting Relief – High success rate with minimal recurrence
Compared to older surgical methods, laser treatment leads to fewer complications, no scarring, and reduced post-procedure discomfort.
How It Compares to Other Treatments
Here’s how laser treatment stacks up against alternatives:
- Sclerotherapy – Ideal for spider veins but less effective on larger varicose veins.
- Vein Stripping Surgery – More invasive, longer recovery time.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Uses radio waves instead of lasers, but both are equally effective and commonly used.
Laser therapy remains a gold standard for varicose vein treatment due to its efficiency and patient satisfaction.
What to Expect on the Day of Treatment
Nervous about the procedure? Don’t be! Laser treatment is:
- Performed under local anesthesia
- Completed within an hour
- Outpatient — no hospital stay required
- Followed by wearing compression stockings for a few days
