Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. A vascular interventional radiologist inserts a thin laser fiber into the affected vein through a catheter, guided by ultrasound imaging.

The laser emits energy that heats the vein’s inner lining, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body, and blood flow is redirected to healthier veins. EVLT is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and has a quick recovery time.

It is effective in reducing symptoms of varicose veins, improving appearance, and providing long-term relief with minimal risk of complications.
