EVLT (laser vein removal)
Laser Vein Removal Using the EVLT® (EndoVenous Laser Treatment)
EVLT® is an Ultrasound-Guided Laser system for varicose veins by Diomed. It is backed by outstanding clinical results and pioneering technology and is the leading laser treatment for varicose veins. EVLT® is the first choice of physicians and patients when it comes to a minimally invasive alternative to painful surgery. EVLT® is the new gold standard in varicose vein treatment.
The EVLT® procedure is simple and effective. Our Medical Doctor recommends laser vein removal using the state-of-the-art EVLT® (Endovenous Laser Treatment) system which eliminates varicose veins with no hospital stay, no scarring and no lengthy recovery or side effects.
The success rate is much higher (up to 98%) than alternative methods such as sclerotherapy and surgical stripping. The entire procedure takes less than an hour in a doctor’s office and gets patients quickly back to their everyday activities. There is minimal down time with minimal side effects and it is covered by most insurance carriers if medically necessary.
What should I expect?
An ultrasound machine will be used to map out each vein. Then, a local anesthetic is applied. A thin laser fiber is inserted through a tiny entry point, usually near the knee and then laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein.
Walking immediately after the procedure is encouraged. Normal daily activity can be resumed; avoid rigorous activities such as gym workouts.
What are the risks of laser vein removal?
There may be minor soreness and bruising. Any discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter, non- aspirin pain relievers as necessary.
The targeted veins are permanently treated, but if you are predisposed, new varicose veins may appear in the future and need additional treatments.
