Laser surgery leg veins
Common Questions and Answers about Laser surgery leg veins
laser
Is it beneficial to have laser surgery for lumpy twisted varicose veins ? . Is one doing harm by putting off surgery indefinitely? I wonder if it prevents risk of dvt or stasis ulcers ? Do the veins just grow back? How long does the surgery tend to last? How does one stay as healthy as possible. Personally I find compression hose hot ,cumbersome so rarely use them. I miss wearing shorts in public and I put up with some leg cramps now and then.
Hi,
Spider veins or telangiectasias are small superficial purple and red blood vessels which are commonly found on the leg and the face. 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.
I am 47 and have had varicose veins since my 20s! I had my first 'stripping' surgery when I was approx. 24. Over the years I've had sclerotherapy several times with varying degrees of success. Two years ago I underwent the new form of surgery with the laser to remove more of my large protruding veins. My question is, how many veins can be removed, destroyed before I don't have enough left? And why do they keep popping out?
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.
Laser Vein Removal has become the preferred method of getting rid of spider veins. Facial spider veins in particular were once difficult to treat, but lasers and IPL have made it effortless.
It is not uncommon for bypass grafts made from Veins to close up. Mine lasted three months. Veins are known to be weaker than arteries but the full reasons for closure is not generally understood. In some patients they last 20 years or longer, while others can last a matter of weeks. If the Veins have collapsed, then it is usual protocol to class the patient as unsuitable for grafting and other options have to be considered, such as different methods of angioplasty. The Veins will not re-open.
Sclerotherapy is another common treatment for both spider veins and varicose veins. 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.
Your post-operative infections may have resulted in increased vascularity to the area, particularly if that is the area of your incision. Sometimes laser therapy may be helpful. Assuming your subsequent surgery occurs without complication, I would not expect it to make this problem worse. It is true that additional revision surgery is often not as painful as the original procedure.
I Just got out of the shower and put lotion on, and I felt on the back of my leg what I thought was maybe a scratch from my dog, but it was a vein! I am really upset right now. I never got it with my last pregnancy, but then again I wasnt active backthen. I'm 36weeks. Has anyone ever gotten them with past pregnancies? Do they go away?
I have been told by a podiatrist that I have facciitis in the top of my feet which runs into the ankle and into the small muscle at the front of the leg. I have mild arthritis in the first two toes also but this does not give me the pain I experience. My feet are always sore and I can't walk any distance. When I get the stabbing pain (usually in my left foot) I notice that the veins are swollen especially the one which crosses down to the arch.

veins are visible because that part of the body is overloaded. It is true that some people are more subject to this some less-genetics is something which cannot be influenced. Veins are also removed with cosmetic surgery. There they laser removed, but this isn't a fee-paying, you can also talk abaut this with your personal doctor.
ten days later he did more laser in his office wiht a fine laser and another shot of steroid.
Neither is liposuction surgery or laser liposuction. Women have died as a result of liposuction surgery which
is major surgery. I wouldn't recommend liposuction sugery, laser or
otherwise to any woman or man for that matter. Laser surgery is still
surgery. Have you ever seen a video of a liposuction procedure.
It's horrifying. The after effects can include infections, burst veins and
other life threatening repercussions.
Would having prostate cancer (early detection very small doing watchful waiting) prevent me from having the Green light laser therapy to help my enlarged prostate? Would the T.U.R.P. surgery be the treatment of choice?
I am 69 years old, have had the cancer for three years doing annual biopsies (none of the biopsies have shown cancer) and checking PSA twice a year.
Thanks.
They are Arteries and not veins which are usually harvested from your leg. Arteries are much stronger than veins and can tolerate the pounding much more. My bypass failed after 3 months, two veins closed up. However, the LIMA (artery) is still fully open.
In the UK, when a bypass is done on the left main artery, it is usual practice to graft 2 vessels, one is really a backup. If you have 2 arteries grafted to this vessel, rather than one with a vein, it will last much much longer.
It burns all the time day and night. The blood veins in my left leg stick up. when compared to the other leg you cant see the veins in my right leg at all. I have had no injuries. Went to the doctor 4 months ago and she put me on gabapentin. This does not seem to help at all but I take it at night and it helps me sleep. All this started right before I turned 50. When Im up on my leg a lot driving or mowing. The pain gets so bad I could cry.
Prior to surgery she had searing pain in the leg causing her leg be numb to her toes. Since the surgery her back is gone. However she can not stand or sit for any period of time without having severe pain causing her to lie down. While lieing down she has litttle to no pain.
These new leg pain symptoms only presented themselves three days post op. She has had a ultrasound to rule a clot. Please provide any help. The doctors here are stumped. Thank you in advance.
Note that when you have laser treatment it destroys the veins so the blood will go to other veins and the problem will most likely return.
