EVLT Eliminates Varicose Veins at the Source

The twisted bulging that causes discomfort and embarrassment results from faulty valves in the veins. As blood flows through your veins to the heart, stop valves are supposed to prevent the blood from flowing backwards as gravity pulls it down. If the valves don’t close properly, blood pools in the vein, forcing the walls to enlarge and bulge out.

EVLT uses targeted laser energy to seal the vein shut and help you look and feel better fast.

The EVLT Procedure

EVLT is a quick, minimally invasive laser procedure that leaves no scar and can be performed in your doctor’s office. The procedure takes less than an hour. Here’s what to expect:

• The ultrasonographer and radiologist use ultrasound to map out your vein.
• Local anesthetic is applied. A thin laser fiber is inserted through a tiny entry point, usually near the knee.Laser energy is delivered to
  seal faulty vein.
• Walking immediately after the procedure is encouraged. Normal daily activity can be resumed (just avoid rigorous activities, such as
  gym workouts).
• There may be minor soreness and bruising . Any discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter, non-aspirin pain relievers as needed.

How does EVLT work?

The laser energy damages the vein walls, shrinking them and closing the faulty vein so that the blood cannot flow through it. This eliminates vein bulging at its source.

Is loss of this vein a problem?

No. After treatment, the blood in the faulty veins will be diverted to the many normal veins in the leg.

What are the complications of this procedure?

The only minimal complication experienced with EVLT is numbness which passes quickly.

Am I at risk from the laser?

No. Just as a precaution against accidental firing of laser energy outside the body, you will be given a pair of special glasses to protect your eyes.

How successful is EVLT?

Published clinical studies show that EVLT has a 98% initial success rate with excellent long-term results.
