Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT)

Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. A small laser fiber is inserted into the problematic vein through a tiny skin incision. The laser delivers targeted heat, causing the vein to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the body naturally reroutes blood through healthier veins, reducing symptoms and improving appearance. EVLT typically takes about an hour, involves local anesthesia, and has a quick recovery with minimal discomfort. It's a safe, effective option for those seeking to manage varicose veins without more invasive surgery.
