Traitement des Varices par Laser Endoveineux au centre PhleboDerm par le docteur Patrick HELEINE
Ce traitement high tech utilisant une fibre à émission radiale est reconnu comme supérieur à la chirurgie et plus durable que la mousse. Le tronc saphénien variqueux est traité en une fois.
Grâce à une fibre optique de très petit calibre, introduite sous anesthésie locale, la veine est traitée directement sans qu’il soit nécessaire de l’enlever, ce qui explique que l'intervention soit peu traumatique et qu'il soit possible de reprendre ses activités dès le lendemain.
L'ablation thermique est devenu la technique de référence et le laser endoveineux la méthode la plus utilisée dans le monde remplaçant ainsi progressivement la chirurgie conventionnelle des varices. Elle est peu traumatisante et son caractère purement ambulatoire permet d’éviter une éviction sociale (pas d’arrêt de travail dans la majorité des cas contre 3 semaines d’arrêt pour la chirurgie conventionnelle, le stripping) Le laser endo veineux connait un développement particulièrement important aux USA. C'est également la technique endoveineuse la plus utilisée en France.
Les avantages du laser endoveineux:
• Intervention peu invasive pratiquée en ambulatoire
• Evite la chirurgie des varices, le stripping
• Pas de cicatrice
• Pas d’anesthésie générale ni rachianesthésie
• Pas d’hématome postopératoire
• Excellent résultat esthétique
• Reprise immédiate de la marche et des activités
Treatment of Varicose Veins Using Endovenous Laser Therapy at the PhleboDerm Center by Dr. Patrick HELEINE
Welcome to the new world of minimaly invasive Laser treatment for varicose veins.
We are now offering the endovenous laser treatment for all the patients of the Caribbean (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Saint Martin, Sint Marteen, Saba, Saint Kitts, Haïti, Saint Vincent…
As this treatment is performed on an outpatient basis, you can return to normal activities and walk immediately after the procedure and then go back home the next day.
This high-tech treatment, which uses a radial-emitting fiber, is recognized as superior to surgery and longer-lasting than foam sclerotherapy. The varicose saphenous trunk is treated in a single session.
Using a very thin optical fiber inserted under local anesthesia, the vein is treated directly without needing to be removed, which explains why the procedure is minimally invasive and allows patients to resume their normal activities the very next day.
Thermal ablation has become the gold standard, and endovenous laser treatment is the most widely used method worldwide, gradually replacing conventional varicose vein surgery. It is minimally invasive, and its purely outpatient nature avoids social disruption (no time off work in most cases, compared to a 3-week recovery period for conventional surgery, such as stripping). Endovenous laser treatment is experiencing particularly significant growth in the U.S. It is also the most widely used endovenous technique in France.
The Benefits of Endovenous Laser Treatment:
• Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
• Avoids varicose vein surgery (stripping)
• No scarring
• No general or spinal anesthesia
• No postoperative hematoma
• Excellent cosmetic results
• Immediate resumption of walking and daily activities
