The endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) of varicouse veins and saphenous vein insufficiency is a new method and tested in our clinic and international centers with best results. Without cut, without general anaesthesia, without tissue- or nerve injuries, without hospital stay, without complications and negative sequelae! Scientific Data show perfect results after 3 years in 92 - 98% of the cases. In comparison, old-fashioned vein stripping will be satisfying at that time in only 33%.

The result: The inversed venous flow is stopped. All complaints are also stopped! Varicouse veins will vanish (pict. 3) Venous laser treatment requires more than just the device. It should never be performed by a single practioner, but by a team of experts in laser medicine, ultrasound diagnostics, phlebology, angiology, dermatology, interventional radiology and vascular surgery - as we offer it to our patients. The costs vary from US$ 1600 - 2400 per leg, depending on the severeness of the disease.
