ELVeS PainLess laser treatment is a new minimally invasive therapy announced by Biolitec. This laser therapy is used for treating varicose veins. The biggest advantage of this treatment is that the infected veins are removed without pain and without leaving any scar on the skin. In addition, the treatment is not time consuming as the patient can be treated in 30-45 min.
The new laser method has been developed based on the ELVeS laser system that is used for venous insufficiency treatment.
The ELVeS RADIAL laser probe is inserted directly into the infected vein through an insertion. The varicose vein is thus photothermically sealed. Excellent results, as well as maximum comfort for the patient are achieved with the help of the ELVeS RADIAL, which is the world’s first laser fiber that emits radially. The ELVeS PainLess’ specific laser wavelength also contributes to the advantages.
This treatment does not require the patient to undergo recovery time as in the stripping procedure, where the varicose veins are pulled out. The patient will not encounter any pain or swelling after the operation. Also, the protracted recovery period is not involved in the treatment.
