Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), also known as Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT), is a minimally invasive procedure that targets large veins causing bulging varicose veins, particularly on the legs. Using laser energy, this procedure effectively shrinks and destroys the problematic veins from the inside out. Unlike traditional surgery, EVLA is safer and requires no hospital stay, making it a preferred choice for varicose vein treatment in many vein centers.
How Does Endovenous Laser Ablation Work?
- Preparation: The treatment area is sterilized, and a local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Insertion of Cannula: A small incision is made, through which a hollow needle (cannula) is inserted into the affected vein.
- Laser Activation: A laser fiber is threaded through the cannula and guided into the vein using ultrasound for precision. The laser heats up, damaging the vein walls and causing them to shrink and close off.
- Post-Treatment: After the procedure, a small dressing is applied, and compression stockings are recommended for about a week to aid in healing.
Benefits of Endovenous Laser Ablation
- Minimally Invasive: EVLA does not require general anesthesia or long recovery periods.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients resume normal activities within a few days.
- Long-Lasting Results: The procedure effectively closes the damaged veins, leading to permanent relief from symptoms like swelling, tired legs, and skin discoloration.
- Safety: EVLA is safer than traditional surgical vein ligation, as it doesn’t involve removing the vein but rather healing it from the inside.
Endovenous Laser Ablation is a leading solution for varicose veins, offering effective, lasting results with minimal discomfort.
