What is endovenous laser treatment?
Minimally invasive endovenous laser treatment is a way of eliminating problem varicose veins.
The Tinsley Surgical team uses VenaCure® laser technology to perform endovenous laser treatments. The VenaCure laser heats your varicose veins to the point where they collapse. Once this happens, the veins shrivel up and, over time, disappear completely.
The blood that would have gone through the treated vein automatically takes a different route via healthier blood vessels nearby. You have many hundreds of these superficial veins, so losing a few won’t adversely affect your circulation. Rather, your circulation improves when you no longer have varicose veins.

Endovenous laser treatment is a highly effective and minimally invasive technique for addressing varicose veins, offering relief from both discomfort and unsightly appearances. Varicose veins are a common issue, especially among aging individuals, stemming from valve dysfunction in leg veins.
Many individuals seek treatment for varicose veins primarily due to their negative impact on the aesthetic appeal of legs. However, these veins can progress to causing various symptoms, including:
- Itchiness
- Soreness
- Pain
- Aching
Advanced varicose veins, often larger and more uncomfortable, may also carry the risk of blood clots, potentially leading to thrombosis and even life-threatening pulmonary embolism. Endovenous laser treatment stands out as a safe and effective solution for eliminating problematic varicose veins.

Endovenous laser treatment can be performed with or without sedation. Opting for sedation ensures a calm and pain-free experience during the procedure. At Tinsley Surgical, our dedicated team includes an anesthetic nurse proficient in IV sedation, a service that sets us apart from other practices.
The procedure typically lasts about an hour, followed by an hour of recovery to allow the sedative to wear off safely. Patients can then resume their daily activities without interruption.
Post-treatment care involves wearing a compression bandage on the legs for the first week and scheduling a follow-up appointment at Tinsley Surgical for progress assessment.
