Endovenous Laser Therapy

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It involves the use of laser energy to close off damaged veins, which reduces symptoms and improves appearance. During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein through a small cut in the skin. The laser heats and seals the vein, preventing blood flow through it, while promoting blood circulation in healthier veins. Patients typically experience little discomfort and can resume normal activities quickly, making it a popular alternative to traditional vein surgery.
