Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of EVLT and how it can benefit you.
EVLT is a minimally invasive vascular procedure that we use to treat varicose veins. During the procedure, we make a small incision and insert a catheter into the affected vein. The laser energy via the catheter heats your vein, causing it to collapse and seal closed.
Over time, your body absorbs the treated vein, and blood flow is redirected to healthier veins.
The EVLT procedure offers several key advantages. Here’s a look at some of our favorite ways this treatment can help you:
One of the biggest advantages of EVLT is that it is minimally invasive. Unlike traditional vein stripping surgery, EVLT requires only a small incision and no general anesthesia, so you experience less pain, fewer complications, and a quicker recovery time.
EVLT is a relatively quick procedure, usually taking about an hour to complete. Because it is performed on an outpatient basis, you can go home the same day.
Most patients go back to their normal activities relatively quickly, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
EVLT has a high success rate, with studies showing that it effectively eliminates varicose veins in the majority of patients. This means you can expect significant improvement in both the appearance and symptoms of your varicose veins after treatment.
Because EVLT is minimally invasive, it usually causes less pain and discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure and minimal pain during recovery.
Another advantage of EVLT is that it leaves minimal scarring. The small incision that we make to administer the laser energy heals quickly and leaves only a tiny scar, which is often barely noticeable.
EVLT has a lower risk of complications compared to traditional vein stripping surgery. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure, there’s less risk of infection, bleeding, and other potential complications.
In addition to easing the discomfort associated with varicose veins, EVLT can significantly improve the appearance of your legs.
By getting rid of varicose veins, you can enjoy smoother, healthier-looking skin and feel more confident in your appearance.
