What is Endovenous Laser Treatment?
Endovenous laser therapy is a minimally invasive procedure done under local anesthesia at our office. Laser energy is used to ablate (close) the diseased vein caused by faulty valves. This procedure takes about 30-60 minutes and there is little alteration to your activity level after the procedure. Patients may return to work on the same or next day. This has become the first choice, replacing traditional surgical vein stripping.The advantage of EVLT is a less invasive procedure with a lower recurrence rate than surgery.
