A Message from Dr. Sam
Treating vein problems is my passion. Although the science of medicine is not perfect and our healthcare system is constantly changing, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients. Many came with unsuccessful vein treatments in the past and some were told that nothing more could be done. Restoring their health (and lost smiles) has been a very humbling experience.
The wealth of knowledge and experiences that I have gained in practice is priceless. Many patients have told me that my work has changed their lives. The truth is that along the way they have changed mine!
Life is a beautiful journey; I wouldn’t trade the experiences for anything in the world.

Alsara Vein Clinic exclusively uses the leading edge EVLA technology (1470 nm laser system), which decreases discomfort and bruising, while maintaining the unparalleled efficacy and safety of laser technology. Studies have shown that Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is more effective in treating varicose veins than Radiofrequency Ablation (VNUS Closure). Traditional laser machines have utilized lower frequencies (810 nm or 980 nm) and target blood (hemoglobin) within the veins. However, there was more, although temporary, bruising and soreness noted with these laser frequencies than with radiofrequency ablation. The new ThermaLite 1470 nmlaser machines target water in the vein wall instead of hemoglobin, which results in much less discomfort, practically no bruising, and a fast return to normal activities. This is particularly important for people living active lifestyles who want to resume their activities right away and would like to wear shorts or skirts. The new 1470nm offers the best of both worlds. Alsara Vein Clinic has treated numerous patients using the new 1470 nmLaser with almost no discomfort or any bruising after the procedure. Our patients cannot be happier with the results.
