Treatments

Laser varicose vein surgery, or endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), is a modern, minimally invasive procedure for treating varicose veins. It works by using laser energy to close off problematic veins, alleviating symptoms like aching, swelling, and discomfort. During the procedure, a surgeon inserts a thin fiber into the affected vein through a small incision, delivering targeted laser heat to the vein walls. This heat causes the vein to contract and seal, which redirects blood flow to healthier veins nearby. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body, leaving the legs feeling lighter and looking smoother.

This outpatient procedure has several advantages over traditional vein surgery, such as smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Most patients can return to regular activities within a day or two, and many experience significant relief from varicose vein symptoms almost immediately. For best results, patients may be advised to wear compression stockings post-procedure and engage in light walking to encourage healthy circulation. With a low risk of complications, laser varicose vein surgery is a popular choice for patients seeking both symptom relief and improved leg appearance.
