Laser Vein Treatments (EndoVenous Laser Therapy)
EVLT involves the introduction of a thin tube (catheter) in to the main superficial vein on the inside of the thigh through a small incision over the inside of the knee.
A laser is activated which results in a heating effect inside the vein causing it to seal up. This usually causes varicose veins lower down in the leg to either shrink of disappear over time. The whole procedure takes less than one hour to perform and allows patients to return to their normal routine within 24 hours.
