Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins by sealing off faulty veins that cause blood pooling, swelling, and discomfort. Using ultrasound guidance, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein, where controlled laser energy heats and closes the vein from the inside. Blood is naturally redirected to healthy veins, improving circulation and reducing symptoms without open surgery.
EVLT is performed as an outpatient procedure and is widely recognized for its safety, effectiveness, and cosmetic benefits. It offers long-lasting relief from varicose vein symptoms with minimal downtime, making it a preferred alternative to traditional vein stripping surgery.
