Endovenous Laser Ablation

Welcome to Our Page on Endovenous Laser Ablation for Varicose Vein Disease

At Renew Vein and Vascular, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive information about varicose vein disease and its treatments. Explore our guide to learn more about endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) as an effective treatment option for varicose veins.

Understanding Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), also known as endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), is a minimally-invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. During EVLA, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser delivers energy to the vein wall, causing it to heat up and collapse. This process seals the vein shut, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins.

Benefits of Endovenous Laser Ablation

Compared to traditional vein stripping surgery and other treatment modalities, endovenous laser ablation offers several advantages:

Minimally-Invasive: EVLA is performed through a small incision, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
High Success Rate: Endovenous laser ablation has been shown to effectively close varicose veins and alleviate associated symptoms, with high success rates and long-term outcomes.
Minimal Discomfort: Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, often requiring only local anesthesia or mild sedation.
Quick Procedure: EVLA can usually be completed within a short office visit, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly afterward.
Reduced Risk of Complications: With its minimally-invasive nature, EVLA carries a lower risk of complications such as infection and scarring compared to traditional surgery.
Improved Cosmesis: By closing the varicose vein, endovenous laser ablation can improve the appearance of the legs and reduce the visibility of bulging veins.

Is Endovenous Laser Ablation Right for You?

Endovenous laser ablation is suitable for many patients with varicose veins, particularly those who prefer a minimally-invasive treatment option with rapid recovery. However, individual candidacy for EVLA may vary based on factors such as vein size, location, and overall health. Our experienced team at Renew Vein and Vascular can assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.
