Bad Homburg, 21st June 2023: Are there still limits to the treatment of insufficient veins with lasers? The current article in the international journal for modern therapies in phlebology vascular professional deals with precisely this question. Dr. Thomas K. Weiler of the Vein Center Pforzheim, Germany, has more than 25 years of experience with endovenous laser therapy. During that time, he has performed more than 5,000 treatments. The intensive study of the mode of action of laser light and its use in the treatment of insufficient veins convinced Dr. Weiler to work exclusively with laser technology in this field. In his opinion, the procedure has finally replaced conventional treatment methods.
The use of longer wavelengths, which are optimally absorbed by the water components in the vein wall so that the surrounding tissue is better protected and fewer side effects occur, is crucial for the use of laser therapy. For scar-free access to the vein, thin laser catheters are required, which are inserted into the vein by means of a puncture.
In addition, different designs of laser catheters ensure that even pronounced findings can be treated sustainably: e.g. in the case of truncal veins with a diameter of more than 3 cm, difficult recurrences after previous conventional or endovenous treatment (especially in the case of left short stumps), very superficial or intracutaneous branches, perforators with critical skin such as dermatosis or also in the treatment of venous malformations.
