COOL TOUCH LASER ABLATION

 At INTEGRIS Total Body Surgical, we provide the latest in total vein therapy.  When I first started in surgery many years ago vein stripping was the norm.  It usually required multiple incisions and a fair amount of blood loss.  The procedure was done under general anesthesia and required a prolonged recovery and left unsightly scarring.   The success rate was about 60=70%.  We know that this condition, known as chronic venous insufficiency, is inherited and aggravated by long periods on our feet and pregnancy.  It can also be caused by trauma, deep vein thrombosis and other abnormal clotting states.  The symptoms are caused by malfunctioning of the valves in the venous system.  Because of this, the venous blood pools in the lower leg causing pain, swelling, spider and varicose veins, skin color and texture changes, and possible ulceration.  It can cause restless leg syndrome, and makes them look bad.  Many people no longer wear dresses, skirts, shorts, or any other attire that shows leg because of embarrassment.  Others spend their life in hot and uncomfortable stockings with their legs elevated at night to deal with the discomfort. 

More later in the week on treatments.
