Pro-V Laser Vein Treatment

The PRO-VTM laser brings a new approach to varicose vein treatment. If you are one of the 60% of Americans suffering from varicose veins- heavy, bulging, roping veins, or swelling and painful leg symptoms,  endovenous laser ablation with the Sciton Pro-V 1319nm laser is both a great alternative and complement to traditional solutions such as sclerotherapy and vein stripping. The Pro-V is a safe and effective solution for treating venous insufficiency in a fast, nearly pain-free procedure. Also, the treatment is covered by most insurances!

Pro-V treatments can be performed on an outpatient basis in Dr. Dewey McAfee's office, McAfee Medical Clinic in Beebe, next to CosMotique. Under local anesthesia, a small needle incision is made and the laser fiber is inserted into the vein. The laser energy is delivered through the fiber in a series of pulses and gently treats as it is pulled through the vein. The Pro-V laser uses the optimum wavelength for fast and comfortable endovenous laser ablation. Absorption of laser light occurs in water within the vein and vein wall, and the heat generated by absorption of laser energy contracts and collapses the vein wall. This halts the formation of future varicosities and results in complete vessel closure. With blood flow to the varicose vein interrupted, the pooling and bulging will begin to subside immediately as the blood circulation redirects itself to healthy veins.


With Pro-V you will experience little to no discomfort, bruising or swelling. You can look forward to a quick recovery period with no wound care or downtime. Your leg will be wrapped in compression bandage after the treatment and you will be up and walking within 30 minutes. Most patients return to mild activities within a day and are able to participate in more strenuous activities within several days. Dr. Dewey McAfee will require only few office visits after your treatment to monitor for full vein closure.

Dr. Dewey McAfee received his laser vein training by Dr. Roger Hogue at Hogue Vein Institute.
