The EVLT procedure uses light energy to seal off the vein. The VNUS Closure system uses radiofrequency to heat the wall of the vein to seal it shut. Both procedures are performed in the office using local anesthesia. You are able to walk out of the office and may drive yourself home as long as you are not medicated.
