Advanced Laser Treatment for Varicose & Spider Veins in Dubai

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) Under Medical Vascular Protocols

Laser treatment for varicose and spider veins uses ultrasound-guided endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) to close faulty veins from within, relieve symptoms, and restore healthy circulation through a minimally invasive outpatient procedure.
By sealing the diseased vein, blood flow is naturally redirected to healthy veins, eliminating the need for open surgery or hospital admission.

Why Are Varicose and Spider Veins a Medical Condition?

Varicose and spider veins are not only cosmetic concerns. In many patients, they are caused by venous reflux, where malfunctioning leg vein valves allow blood to pool, leading to pressure buildup, visible veins, and symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, or discomfort.

Modern laser-based vascular treatment corrects this underlying problem rather than masking surface veins, supporting long-term vein health.
At DRFK Turkish International Day Surgery Center, laser vein treatment is performed as a physician-led procedure guided by diagnostic imaging and evidence-based vascular protocols.

Benefits of Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)

Modern laser-based vascular treatment focuses on correcting this underlying problem without open surgery, enabling faster recovery and long-term vein health.

• Treats the source of venous reflux, not just visible veins
• Minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia
• No open surgery, stitches, or hospital admission
• Short procedure time with same-day discharge
• Faster recovery compared to traditional vein surgery
• Reduced risk of complications and scarring
• High long-term success rates when guided by ultrasound

Understanding Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that most commonly appear in the legs. They develop when venous valves fail, causing blood to flow backward and increase pressure inside the vein.

Common symptoms include:

• Leg heaviness or aching
• Swelling around the ankles or calves
• Night cramps or restlessness
• Skin discoloration in advanced stages

Spider veins are smaller, superficial veins that appear red, blue, or purple beneath the skin. While often considered cosmetic, they may coexist with deeper venous insufficiency and should be evaluated medically before treatment.

Why Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) Is the Preferred Treatment

Traditional vein stripping surgery has largely been replaced by endovenous laser therapy due to its safety, precision, and recovery advantages.

EVLT treats the source of venous reflux by sealing the faulty vein from the inside, allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthy veins.

Key advantages of EVLT:

• Minimally invasive technique
• Local anesthesia
• No hospital admission
• Faster return to daily activities
• Lower risk of complications

How EVLT Is Performed

Endovenous laser therapy is an outpatient procedure typically completed within 30–60 minutes per leg.

Clinical steps include:

1. •Duplex ultrasound mapping of the venous system
2. •Precise insertion of a laser fiber into the affected vein
3. •Controlled delivery of laser energy to close the vein
4. •Gradual absorption of the treated vein by the body

The procedure is guided entirely by ultrasound to ensure accuracy and safety.

Laser Treatment for Spider Veins in Dubai

Spider veins may be treated using:

• Targeted surface laser systems
• Micro-based injection techniques (when appropriate)

Before cosmetic treatment, medical assessment is essential to exclude deeper venous disease, as untreated reflux can lead to recurrence even after successful surface treatment.

Who Is a Candidate for Laser Vein Treatment?

Laser treatment may be suitable for patients who have:

• Symptomatic varicose veins
• Ultrasound-confirmed venous reflux
• Spider veins without deep venous disease
• A preference for minimally invasive treatment

Patients with advanced venous conditions, prior thrombosis, or complex anatomy require individualized vascular planning.

Laser Vein Treatment vs Traditional Surgery

Laser Vein Treatment (EVLT)

• Minimally invasive
• Local anesthesia
• Same-day discharge
• Faster recovery
• Lower complication risk

Traditional Vein Surgery

• Open surgical incisions
• General or spinal anesthesia
• Hospital admission
• Longer downtime

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery after laser vein treatment is usually straightforward:

• Walking is encouraged immediately
• Compression stockings are worn for a short period
• Mild bruising or tightness may occur temporarily
• Most patients resume normal activities within days

Symptom improvement is often noticed within weeks.

Cost of Laser Treatment for Varicose & Spider Veins in Dubai

The cost of treatment depends on:

• Severity of venous disease
• Number of veins treated
• Laser technology used
• Required follow-up sessions

A consultation with ultrasound assessment allows for accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and transparent cost discussion.
