Minimally Invasive Treatments
At Kawartha Vein Clinic, we offer the latest advances in vascular medicine and technology to offer minimally invasive treatments, including endovenous ablation (EVLT and Venaseal closure).
During endovenous ablation, your vascular surgeon will apply an anesthetic to the affected area. A tiny incision will then be made and a small catheter inserted along the affected veins. Using one of two techniques, the vein will then be collapsed. Once the vein has collapsed, the body will naturally re-route blood flow to healthier veins.
For Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT), a laser fibre is used to heat the varicose veins which causes it to shrink and collapse. Once the vein has collapsed, the body will naturally re-route blood flow to healthier veins.
Endovenous laser therapy is typically performed on an outpatient basis, and most people are able to return to their normal activities within a day or two. It is a safe and effective treatment option for varicose veins, with a high success rate and minimal side effects.
Venaseal Closure involves using a special medical adhesive to close off the affected vein, which then redirects blood flow to healthier veins.venaseal adhesive is delivered into your vein and helps permanently seal the varicose veins to help improve your venous circulation.
One of the main advantages of Venaseal procedure is that it is a non-thermal treatment option, meaning there is no need for heat or energy to be used in the process. This can make it a more comfortable and safe option for some people, especially those with certain medical conditions or concerns.
Additionally, Venaseal procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can usually go home the same day and resume your normal activities shortly after the procedure. There is also minimal scarring and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional vein stripping surgery.
