Overview:
- Endo-Venous Laser Treatment (EVLT) or Endo-Venous Laser Ablation (EVLA) are synonyms of the same procedure. EVLT/EVLA uses special targeted laser energy to seal the abnormal veins shut and help you look and feel better quickly. The treatment is done in less than an hour and the success rate is more than 98% in eliminating the abnormal blood flow in the legs. Most patients experience immediate relief of the symptoms. You can return to daily normal activity immediately with little or no pain and no scars.
Post procedure:
- You can resume normal daily activity essentially without limitations. You will need to wear compression stockings for 1-2 weeks. There may be minor soreness and bruising that can be easily treated with anti-inflammatory medications.
