Laser Treatment
Endovenous Laser Ablation, or EVLA, is a non-surgical, quick, minimally invasive procedure that offers an effective alternative to the surgical stripping of veins. EVLA is currently only recommended for the larger veins in the thigh and calf. It is performed under local anesthetic and is highly effective with over 98% of first-time treatments being successful.
Under ultrasound guidance, a thin fiber-optic probe is inserted through a tiny entry point, usually near the knee. Laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein so that blood cannot flow through it. This eliminates unsightly bulging and enables the blood to be diverted to healthy veins in the leg, thereby alleviating any symptoms. Right after the procedure, patients can resume daily activity, and most patients return to work immediately.
