There is no reason
to continue enduring the pain, discomfort and unsightly disfigurement
that is often caused by ,varicose veins. Many people have put
off tment thinking they would have to vein stripping, which
is major surgery tiring hospitalization, general anestheseveral
weeks of recovery time, and results in significant scarring,
pain and/or potential risks and complications.
Now there is no reason to postpone treatment. The CoolTouch
CTEV 1320 nm offers a virtually pain-free, quick and highly
successful treatment alternative that gets you back to your
life in the same day.
Since the late 1990s, there have been several new therapies
offered as an alternative to vein stripping for the treatment
of varicose veins — sclerotherapy, radiofrequency and
endovenous lasers. It is very important to understand the treatment
options available to you and the differences between these treatments
so you can make an informed decision about your care.
- Sclerotherapy: In this procedure a solution is
injected into the varicose vein causing the vein to be reabsorbed
by one's own body. Potential side effects include blood
dots, pain, skin discoloration that can last for up to a
year, allergic reactions, as well as a delay in seeing any
improvements. Although injection sclerotherapy can successfully
treat small veins visible under the skin, the current treatment
for larger, bulging varicose veins is only 50-60% effective
2 years post treatment.
- Radiofrequency: This procedure uses heat generated
from radiofrequency (RF) electric current to close a varicose
vein. Due to the limitations of the design, certain larger
vein sizes cannot be treated using RF. This procedure may
not be appropriate for many patients with very large varicose
veins.
- Endovenous Laser: The newest technology available,
this procedure uses light waves to eliminate varicose veins.
Due to the technology used, endovenous medical lasers are
able to treat a large range of vein sizes.

Not all lasers are the same' make sure you choose the CoolTouch CTEV
1320 nm.
There are several different endovenous lasers on the market today.
The single most critical component that determines the overall success
of endovenous laser treatment is the laser's wavelength.
The CoolTouch MTV laser has a 1320 nm wavelength, which has been found
to be the most comfortable and effective laser treatment for varicose
veins. The 1320 nm wavelength requires less heat to close the vein
than Diode lasers, which have an 810, 940 or 980 wavelength. The high
heat generated by Diode lasers can actually rupture the vein causing
significant pain, swelling and bruising. With the CoolTouch CTEV,
you will receive the best results available. You will experience minimal,
if any, pain, bruising or post-op complications and the success rate
is 98 — 100%.
With the CoolTouch CTEV, a small single needle incision is made in
the leg and a fiber is inserted into the varicose vein. The laser
is activated and as the fiber is moved through the vein it gently
heats and safely closes the vein. Once the vein is closed, the blood
that was circulating through this vein is simply rerouted to other
healthy veins and the varicose vein essentially vanishes.
A Simple Office-Based Procedure
The CoolTouch CTEV procedure is minimally invasive and is performed
right in your doctor's office. You are awake during the entire procedure,
but you will not feel any pain, as your leg will be numbed using a
local anesthesia. The entire procedure will take less than one hour
per leg treated.
Cosmetically Pleasing Results
One of the tremendous benefits of the CoolTouch CTEV procedure is
that patients do not experience the incision scars or bruising that
are often present with alternative treatments. Rarely does bruising
occur when the CoolTouch CTEV procedure is performed alone. And since
the incision is so small, no stitches are necessary.

Rapid Relief from Symptoms
Your symptoms will begin to improve immediately after the CoolTouch
CTEV procedure is completed. However, depending on their severity,
some symptoms may take 1-2 weeks to completely disappear.
Quick Return to Work and Play
After the procedure, your leg will be wrapped in a compression bandage
and you will be up and walking within 30 minutes. You will be able
to resume routine activity the same day and athletic or strenuous
activities within several days.

"Having helped develop the radiofrequency Closure® procedure
and treating dozens of patients with the 810 nm EVLT', I have found
that the CoolTouch CTEV 1320 nm procedure produces the best results
in the quickest, most affordable and patient-friendly manner."
MITCHEL P. GOLDMAN, MD
Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology University of California,
San Diego, School of Medicine
"I am so grateful for the CoolTouch CTEV treatment. I used to
hide my legs. Because of my huge veins, I wouldn't wear shorts or
bathing suits. Now I can wear anything I want. I just love it. I had
both legs done at the same time and the procedure was very easy. I
don't have any scars, and I was able to return to work the very next
day. I would recommend the CoolTouch CTEV treatment to anyone who
asks."
MAL D., PATIENT
