Varicose veins are the visible symptoms of lower extremity venous insufficiency. The associated leg pain can become a limiting factor to every day activities.

In the past, the typical treatment has been painful "ligation and stripping" surgery. But now, endovenous laser treatment, (EVLT) a minimally-invasive alternative, is available.

Lumiere Medispa provides state-of-the-art Diomed laser treatment of varicose veins. EVLT is an outpatient procedure that typically takes 45 minutes, and allows patients to return to their everyday lives immediately.

EVLT can be covered by health insurance in most cases.

The Lux 1064 YAG handpiece is ideal for targeting the blood vessels that cause spider veins. The energy from the Lux 1064 heats the hemoglobin within the vessel, causing the vessel walls to constrict. The vessel then shrinks and fades from View.
