Avatar f tn The only vessels that are treated with endovenous laser ablation are the ones that should have been stripped. Stripping is very specific. It refers to a procedure in which either the greater or lesser saphenous vein is tied off at it junction (either the groin or behind the knee) and the vessel pulled out via a second incision either at the knee or ankle for the greater or lower calf for the lesser saphenous vein.

However, it is best that you confirm the diagnosis with your physician and discuss the best option for you. The treatment will depend on the severity of the condition and your medical history. Additional diagnostic tests such as duplex ultrasound exam may also be indicated. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn yes you could try laser treatment or there is also a radiofrequency treatment i think its called, one uses a higher temperature then the other to close the vein. ask your doc about these, but the stripping and the 2 ablation therapies (laser and radio) are the only treatments really.

My instructions when I was being released form the hospital was to limit my stair climbing for the first week, I had no problem with any type of groin pain or bleeding after the ablation and when I did use my stairs it wasn't painful. After about a week I went back to normal use.
Avatar n tn Facial spider veins can be tricky to remove because facial vein treatments are often limited to Laser Vein Removal, since Sclerotherapy and vein removal surgery can leave permanent scarring.

Avatar n tn A patient with spider veins in the face will usually choose to have laser therapy rather than sclerotherapy. Laser treatment may cause minor bruising that usually improves within a week. Two to four treatments may be required to achieve your desired result. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. It is most effective for small and medium size spider veins. Large spider veins respond poorly and are best treated with sclerotherapy.

Avatar f tn In this procedure with the help of a needle a liquid chemical is injected into the vein. This causes swelling in vein and collapsing .This stops the flow of blood, and the vein turns into scar tissue. This procedure can be done without general anesthesia and does not lead to inference in the daily activities. Laser techniques can help in curing small varicose veins. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor. Take care and regards!

Avatar n tn Hello, There are 5 types of laser hair removal systems. These include pulsed light, Nd YAG laser, diode laser. Alexanderite laser and ruby laser. This depends on the skin type and varies from patient to patient. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for the skin type and then depending on that, laser hair removal can be decided.
Avatar m tn My husband (age 40) had a pulmonary vein ablation 6 days ago and he is still suffering a great deal. Every night he has cold sweats and runs a low grade fever. Still is a little short of breath and basically feels bad most of the time. Every morning he wakes up with a terrible headache. Does all of this sound typical of vein ablation recovery? Should we be concerned? I would appreciate any helpful feedback.
Avatar f tn the odds of the second ablation being successful are supposed to be 95% vs 80% the first time. Im goin to go for the 2nd time while im relatively young and in good shape. what do you think?
Avatar n tn As far as I understand you have ablation(with different methods and ways to identify the ablation area) and isolation of the pulmonary vein.
Avatar n tn I suspect you may have diabetic related bleeding or perhaps a branch or central retinal vein occlusion - just guessing. The laser is fairly easily performed and generally safe and without it you coulf face much worse loss of vision. Make sure you are seeing a retinal specialist ophthalmologist.
