EVLT® is a quick, minimally invasive laser procedure that can be performed in the physician’s office. EVLT eliminates the large, painful, and unsightly varicose veins with no hospital stay, no scarring and no lengthy recovery or side effects. Usually in less than an hour, you will be back to your everyday activities. EVLT is
safe and effective, nearly 97% of first-time EVLT treatments are successful.

During the EVLT treatment, ultrasound is used to precisely map out your vein. A local anesthetic is applied and a thin laser fiber is inserted through a tiny entry point, usually near the knee. Laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein so that the blood cannot flow through it. This eliminates vein bulging at the source.

Walking immediately after the procedure is encouraged. Normal daily activity can be resumed but 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.
