Varicose Veins Without Surgery

Revolutionary New Treatment for Varicose Veins Can Now Relieve Suffering of Millions Without Surgery

Orlando, FL – November 13, 2001 – There is now a revolutionary new procedure that is poised to transform the treatment of varicose veins. It is called Endolaser Treatment, and it is offering hope to millions of sufferers.

By age 55, nearly 1 out of 2 Americans will be afflicted with painful and unsightly varicose veins. If left untreated, varicose veins can often lead to serious complications such as phlebitis, leg ulcers, and potentially life-threatening blood clots. Until recently, however, many chose to continue suffering instead of undergoing the painful "stripping" surgery to remove the defective veins.

Unlike the traditional vein stripping surgery, Endolaser Treatment is non-invasive and requires only local anesthesia. During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein through a small needle placed in the patient's skin. Pulses of light are sent along the fiber that effectively collapses and seals the vein. The entire procedure takes about an hour and is performed in the doctor's office, so no hospitalization is required. And because the procedure causes only minimal discomfort and no scarring, most patients can return to their normal routine the very next day.

Because this treatment is relatively new, its availability is limited. However, the Vascular Center of Orlando, a leader in the advanced treatment of varicose veins since 1978, offers free screenings for patients interested in Endolaser Treatment. With over 35 years experience in vein care, Dr. Samuel Martin, a board certified vascular surgeon, and Dr. Daniel Thomas, who is certified by the American Board of Sclerotherapy, are now using this breakthrough treatment to end the suffering of the Center's patients. Testimonials from satisfied patients and remarkable "before and after" pictures are accessible at the Center's web site.
