Varicose Vein Treatment by Laser - Endovenous Saphenous Vein Ablation - ELVES

Around the year 2000, Dr. Peppercorn and Dr. Cox of the Advanced Dermatology & Laser Center in Yuba City, California, became the first users of a laser to treat varicose veins in the Northern California Sacramento Valley. In 2003, this video, produced by Angiodynamics, was presented to viewers on The Medical Explorer with Dr. Robert Peppercorn TV program as a portion of an episode. Since that time, this varicose vein treatment, often called ELVES, continues to be the most popular and safe method to reduce and remove painful and ugly or inflamed large varicose veins. The most common involved veins are the greater and lesser saphenous veins. Patient who wish to undergo this procedure begin by having a painless ultrasound procedure to examine the blood flow throughout the full leg. If reflux blood flow is discovered in the saphenous vein and saphenofemeral junction, the endovenous or ELVES procedure may be considered. As with any surgery, there is a rare risk of scar, infection, pain, local numbness, skin ulceration, trapped blood and temporary pigment changes in the treatment area. A similar procedure is performed with radiofrequency energy (without a laser) that can offer similar results. Many medical insurance programs will pay for the procedure when it is medically needed.
