ELVeS (Endo Laser Vein System) in Lafayette, LA
The ELVeS Endo Laser Vein System from Biolitec, Inc. is an ideal option for patients with varicose veins who are in search of minimally-invasive, non-surgical treatment options that involve little or no pain and no scarring. Patients can experience immediate relief from the symptoms and appearance of unattractive varicose veins after a single treatment session, which takes less than one hour in most cases, and are able to immediately return to work, or other normal daily activities. As a treatment for venous incompetence, particularly superficial reflux of the greater saphenous vein, ELVeS can eliminate the need for vein surgery, while improving the appearance of varicose veins and reducing or eliminating the associated pain.
To perform an ELVeS treatment session, your vein specialist will first map the veins in your legs using ultrasound. Once the veins to be treated have been identified, the ELVeS provider will administer a local anesthetic, followed by inserting a laser fiber directly into the vein to be treated and delivering laser light energy that causes the walls of the vein to shrink.
The cost of receiving ELVeS varicose vein treatments is significantly lower than surgical vein therapy options and will depend on your vein specialist’s fees, geographical location and the number of veins to be treated. If the procedure is conducted to relieve the painful symptoms of varicose veins, it is usually covered by medical insurance.
