Quote from Jinu Thomas on 24 August 2024, 2:59 PMLaser treatment for varicose veins, often referred to as Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It works by using laser energy to heat and seal off the affected veins. During the procedure, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the varicose vein through a small incision under local anesthesia.
The laser emits energy that heats the vein walls, causing them to collapse and close off. This effectively shuts down the abnormal vein, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins. Over time, the sealed vein is absorbed by the body and disappears. Laser treatment is highly effective, with success rates often exceeding 90%.
It is a preferred option for treating larger varicose veins and is associated with minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and a low risk of complications compared to traditional surgery.
