The newest technology available, this procedure uses light
waves to eliminate varicose veins. Due to the technology used,
endovenous medical lasers are able to treat a large range
of vein sizes.
The COOLTOUCH CTEV LASER has a 1320 nm wavelength,
which has been found to be the most comfortable and effective
laser treatment for varicose veins. The 1320 nm wavelength
requires less heat to close the vein than Diode lasers, which
have an 810, 940 or 980 wavelength. The high heat generated
by Diode lasers can actually rupture the vein causing significant
pain, swelling and bruising. With this wavelength laser, you
will receive the best results available. You will experience
minimal pain, bruising or post-op complications and the success
rate is 98-100%.
A Simple Office-Based Procedure
The CoolTouch CTEV procedure is minimally invasive and is
performed right in the office. You are awake during the entire
procedure, but you will not feel any pain as the leg will
be numbed using a local anesthesia. The entire procedure will
take less than one hour.
Cosmetically Pleasing Results
One of the tremendous benefits of the CoolTouch CTEV procedure
is that patients do not experience the incision scars or bruising
that are often present with alternative treatments. Rarely
does bruising occur when the CoolTouch CTEV procedure is performed
alone. Since the incision is so small, no stitches are necessary.
Rapid Results from Symptoms
Your symptoms will begin to improve immediately after the
CoolTouch CTEV procedure is completed. However, depending
on their severity, some symptoms may take 1-2 weeks to completely
disappear.
Quick Return to Work and Play
After the procedure, your leg will be wrapped in a compression
bandage, and you will be up and walking within 30 minutes.
You will be able to resume routine activity the same day and
athletic or strenuous activities within several days.
