EVLT™ (Endovenous
Laser Treatment)
EVLT™ is one of the newest techniques for
the treatment of varicose veins as the result of
superficial venous insufficiency. A tiny laser
fiber is inserted into the vein, with ultrasound
guidance, to the exact source
of the venous problem. Laser pulses are then
used to close the vein. It requires a small
non-scarring incision in the skin, local
anesthesia, no hospitalization and short
recovery. In some cases, other treatments
including sclerotherapy, ultrasound guided
sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, and or
ambulatory phlebectomy, are used in combination
with EVLT™.
