InvisiVein is the area's leading provider of high end laser technology for vein treatment.
By: InvisiVein InvisiVein Laser Treatment (EVLT) uses heat to attack the underlying cause of varicose veins, the abnormal saphenous vein. Leg veins have valves. When those valves don't close properly, blood flows backwards by gravity towards the feet. The increased pressure and backflow causes swelling which presses on nerves resulting in many symptoms. The InvisiVein Laser uses heat to seal the abnormal saphenous vein. Yvonne Slotkin of InvisiVein states, "When people have varicose veins that are bulging, they can tell a difference immediately. People get out of bed the next day and they don't feel their symptoms. Some of these symptoms can include pain, fatique, throbbing, itching, burning and swelling." The InvisiVein EVLT is an FDA approved alternative to the more invasive traditional venous stripping. 1. Outpatient procedure usually 60-90 minutes 2. Ultrasound Guided 3. Local Anesthesia 4. Greater than 98% closure at 5 years 5. In most cases, one treatment session for both GSV reflux and varicosities 6. Short recovery time 7. Minimal scarring 8. Covered by most insurance plans including Medicare 9. Performed by Board Certified Interventional Radiologists If not treated, varicose veins will continue to be a burden and progress to a health risk. Dr. Mullaney encourages those struggling with the pain associated with the bulging veins to schedule a consult and an ultrasound with Invisivein. He states, "The patient will leave armed with the information they need as well as a treatment plan to take care of their problem." As for the local chef, he has completed EVLT on one leg, with the next scheduled a few weeks following. He states, "I worry about the future. Blood clots, etc. I need that peace of mind. I have a 3 and 4 year old, and I need to make sure I can work on my feet in the future."
