Varicose veins Treatment

Endoveinous laser

Presentation

The laser is an endoveinous technique of treatment of varicose veins, just like Fast-Closure.

It has the same benefits as the Fast-Closure, except that it is not reimbursed by the French social security.

Principle

Like the Fast-Closure, the idea is to burn the saphenous vein by introducing a laser probe inside it.

However, this technique differs from the Fast-Closure in that the destruction of the saphenous vein is indirect : the blood is burnt and not the vein itself.

Cost

As the laser probe is not reimbursed by the social security, this technique is more expensive for the patient, reaching sometimes 1,800€, depending on the number of veins to treat.
