Quote from Jinu Thomas on 24 August 2024, 3:01 PMLike any medical procedure, laser treatment for varicose veins carries some risks and potential side effects, though they are generally minimal and rare. Common side effects include mild bruising, swelling, and soreness along the treated vein, which usually resolve within a few days to a week.
Some patients may experience a sensation of tightness or pulling in the treated area, which is temporary. In rare cases, more serious complications can occur, such as skin burns, nerve damage, or blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), but these are uncommon when the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist. There is also a small risk of recurrence, where new varicose veins develop in the treated area or nearby veins.
Following post-procedure care instructions, such as wearing compression stockings and avoiding strenuous activities, can help minimize these risks. Overall, laser treatment is considered safe, with a high success rate and a low risk of serious complications.
