Frequently Asked
Questions
How does LVA work?
The laser energy damages the vein walls, shrinking them and closing
the faulty vein so that the blood cannot flow through it. This
eliminates vein bulging at its source.
Is loss of this vein a problem?
No. After treatment, the blood in the faulty vein will be diverted
to the many normal veins in the leg.
What are the complications of this procedure?
The only minimal complications experienced with LVA have been a
small number of cases of numbness that passes quickly.

Am I at risk from the laser?
No. Just as a precaution against accidental firing of laser energy
outside the body, you will be given a pair of special glasses to
protect your eyes.
