Endovenous Laser Therapy: What To Know Before Treatment

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive option for treating certain varicose veins. The procedure uses laser energy to close an unhealthy vein, allowing blood to reroute through healthier veins. Using ultrasound guidance, a vein specialist carefully positions a thin laser fiber inside the affected vein before applying controlled energy. EVLT is typically performed in an outpatient setting and does not require traditional surgical removal of the vein. Recovery recommendations vary depending on the individual and treatment area. USA Vein Clinics provides vein evaluations to help determine whether EVLT or another treatment option may be appropriate for your condition.
