Dr. Navarro recalls how often the endovenous laser treatment fails to successfully remove a woman's varicose veins.

Dr. Navarro:
It’s very rarely that does, the procedure does not work, and if it doesn’t work, what happens is that the vein does not close. That it happens, I will say maybe in less than two-percent of the cases, and then, of course, the procedure is repeated a few days later.
