Eliminate Varicose Veins Quickly, Safely and Effectively
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is the no-scar, no-surgery way to quickly, safely and effectively eliminate unsightly varicose veins. EVLT uses targeted laser energy – a highly concentrated beam of light – to seal off the source of your varicose veins. In the past, “vein stripping” surgery was the only option, which involved hospitalization and a long recovery time. Today, in the hands of our skilled 
vascular surgeons, Endovenous Laser Treatment for varicose veins offers far less risk for complications than surgery – and often provides a quick relief of symptoms.
EVLT is performed in our office and takes less than an hour. There is no incision involved and only a local anesthetic is needed. The EVLT procedure involves using ultrasound to map the vein, and then local anesthetic is applied to numb the area where our physician is working. A thin laser fiber is inserted into the damaged vein through a very small entry point in the skin. A laser light is emitted through the fiber, as the fiber is pulled back through the vein, it delivers just the right amount of energy. The targeted tissue reacts with the light energy, causing the vein to close and seal shut. The veins that are closed are superficial veins that handle very little of the body’s blood flow. The blood is automatically routed to other, healthy veins.
Patients may return to normal activity on the same day, avoiding strenuous exertion for a brief period. Some experience minimal soreness or slight swelling, which can be treated effectively with over-the-counter, non-aspirin pain relievers and typically subsides within the first five days.
