What is Vein Disease?

The disease, which we also call vein disease, venous insufficiency or internal varicose, is a group of complaints that occur when the one-way valves in your veins become sick. When the valves get sick, our veins that work against gravity will have difficulty in removing the blood towards the heart, the blood escaping back will be pooled especially in the leg, ankle and foot region, and your varicose veins and related complaints will emerge over time.

Some of the complaints are as follows:

• Swelling in legs and ankles
• Tiredness
• Pain
• Burning sensation in the calves or upper thighs
• Reduction or disappearance of leg pain with walking, standing up, or holding cold water
• Itchy, dry skin
• Numbness, tingling sensation
• Difficulty standing for long periods of time
• Clots
• Wounds that do not heal on the feet, especially on the wrist and around it
• Cramps
• Restless legs syndrome

What are the Risk Factors

Your risk of venous insufficiency and varicose veins will increase if you have one or more of the following risk factors:

• Genetic predisposition
• Female gender
• Fertility
• Obesity
• Old age
• Pregnancy
• Lack of physical activity
• Sitting for long periods of time
• Working for long periods of time
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Hypertension

What is Endovenous Laser Therapy

Endovenous laser therapy or EVLT is a minimally invasive, that is, small interventional treatment method in Turkish. Although it is a simple procedure to be done in the practice in countries such as America, Canada and Australia, it is not allowed to be done under the conditions of the practice in European countries and our country.

In principle, EVLT, that is, laser treatment, is to provide the closure of the vein by giving an internal thermal damage with the heat energy coming from the tip of the laser. Following this closure, the blood will be directed to the surrounding healthy veins, which are miles long, instead of the closed diseased vein, and return to the heart.

During EVLT

• You will be in operating room conditions at the hospital
• Local anesthesia and sedation will be done
• Under the guidance of ultrasound, a thin plastic needle will be inserted into the patient's vein below the knee.
• The laser catheter through the needle will be placed in the appropriate position in the groin under ultrasound guidance.
• Cold serum containing adrenaline, bicarbonate and adrenaline will be injected around the vein. The purpose of the cold serum is to prevent the thermal effect of the laser, that is, to increase the effect of the laser by shrinking the vein. Limiting possible bleeding with adrenaline. It is to provide you with a comfortable early postoperative period with local anesthetics.
• Following the appropriate position and surrounding tissue injections, the laser will be adjusted to the appropriate energy and time and the closure of the vessel will begin.
• With each subsequent laser shot, the fired area will be destroyed by heat and shut down instantly
• The process will take an average of 15-30 minutes.

Post EVLT

• After the procedure, you will go to your room immediately. After 1-2 hours, when the sedation effect wears off, you will go home by walking.
• There are no restrictions in the post-operative period. On the contrary, we recommend physical activity.
• You can take a shower and return to your normal life
• The only problem in this period is unfortunately the obligation to wear compression stockings.

What are the Advantages of EVLT

In addition to its many advantages, the prominent advantages of EVLT are as follows:

• All of your complaints related to varicose veins will pass.
• Minimally invasive
• You come on foot and go on foot
• No pain
• No bleeding
• No hospitalization
• There is no loss of work power
• No seams or scars
• You can return to work the next day
• It will improve your quality of life

What Are the Disadvantages of EVLT

Although the process has no obvious disadvantages of its own, we can count the following disadvantages:

• The probability of failure, that is, the probability of the vein remaining open is less than 1%.
• With EVLT, only the sick main vessel is treated. There is a need for additional procedures such as removing our puffy veins from the skin and cosmetic needle treatment.
• Due to your genetic predisposition, your veins that are healthy on the day of surgery may become sick over time. Remember, this is a new disease, not a relapse.

In addition to providing you with surgical service with the most experienced, highest quality and most advanced technology laser in the world, we also offer cosmetic needle treatment in practice conditions.
