Why Choose the 1470nm Wavelength Treating Varicose Veins?

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are caused by weakness in the walls of superficial veins, leading to their dilation and stretching. This stretching compromises the function of the one-way valves inside the veins, which normally ensure blood flows upward toward the heart. When these valves become incompetent or leaky, blood can flow backward—especially when standing—causing a condition known as venous reflux. This abnormal reverse flow increases pressure within the veins, causing them to bulge and become varicose.

What is EVLT (Endovenous Laser Treatment)?

Developed by leading phlebologists, Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a minimally invasive, nearly painless procedure that can be performed in a clinic setting in under an hour, with minimal recovery time required. Patients typically experience very little post-procedural pain and no significant scarring. The procedure effectively alleviates symptoms of both internal and external venous reflux disease almost immediately, offering rapid relief and improved quality of life.

Why Choose the 1470nm Wavelength?

The 1470nm wavelength has a higher affinity for water than for hemoglobin. This characteristic enables the formation of steam bubbles that gently heat the vein wall without direct radiation, enhancing treatment efficacy and success rates.

Key advantages include:

*Requires less energy to achieve effective ablation
*Reduces damage to surrounding tissues
*Lowers the risk of post-operative complications

As a result, patients can return to their normal daily activities more quickly, with a faster resolution of venous reflux symptoms.
