ClinConnect Summary
INTRODUCTION The treatment of varicose veins secondary to saphenous vein reflux has undergone a major shift in the past decade, primarily led by the introduction of less invasive techniques. Wavelengths of 810, 940 and 980 nm have higher rates of absorption by hemoglobin. Water chromophore is associated with an initial energy absorption peak at 980 nm, followed by peaks at 1500 and 2000 nm. The energy released into the vein lumen is therefore absorbed by water as well as by cellular and interstitial proteins. In contrast, laser beams with longer wavelengths act more specifically on water ab...
