Endovenous Laser Ablation is considered the “Gold Standard” for treating large, bulging varicose veins. This minimally invasive procedure uses highly focused laser energy to deliver heat to the internal walls of the vein, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Once the vein is closed, the body naturally reroutes blood flow to healthy veins.
Our specialists use the latest generation of laser fibers to ensure the most comfortable experience possible.
The leg is mapped using ultrasound, and the treatment area is cleaned and numbed using local tumescent anesthesia.
A very thin laser fiber is inserted into the diseased vein through a small sheath under continuous ultrasound visualization.
The laser is activated as the doctor slowly withdraws the fiber, heating the vein wall and causing it to permanently close.
The fiber is removed, and the leg is placed in a compression stocking to aid the healing process.
Untreated varicose veins can lead to serious complications like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or spontaneous bleeding. EVLA is vital because it addresses the high pressure inside the veins that causes these risks, providing a permanent medical solution rather than just masking symptoms.
