What Is Endovenous Laser Ablation?
Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) is a procedure used to treat
varicose veins. This modern treatment method uses laser technology to heat targeted vein walls enough to kill them. The affected veins collapse and disappear from your skin with time, as your body reabsorbs them.
Laser vein ablation is an in-office technique performed by a qualified vascular doctor like
Dr. Sergei Sobolevsky. Dr. Sobolevsky is a leading an endovascular specialist at the Downtown Vein & Vascular Center in Brooklyn. He uses advanced
vein treatment techniques, such as venous ablation to treat multiple abnormal vein conditions, including:
What Are the Advantages of EVLT?
Endovenous laser ablation or therapy, also called endovenous laser treatment or EVLT, is an improvement over older procedures for treating varicose veins. The benefits of this vein treatment include:
- Faster treatment. Endovenous laser treatment is an outpatient, same-day procedure. Your vein doctor performs the vein ablation in less than one hour.
- Minimally invasive treatment. The procedure involves just one two-millimeter puncture in your skin to access the twisted and bulging vein. That single tiny puncture is enough for the entire procedure.
- No downtime. Since it’s minimally invasive, the healing process is faster and you can return to normal activities immediately. Your doctors recommend endovenous laser ablation of varicose veins over older procedures, such as varicose vein stripping and vein ligation, to promote a faster recovery.
- Long-lasting effectiveness. Your vein doctor uses the endovenous laser ablation procedure for long-term effects. The EVLT procedure offers immediate relief from the pain and cosmetic problems of varicose veins because the laser heat destroys the problematic vein completely.
- Alternative for sclerotherapy for varicose veins. Your vein doctor may prescribe endovenous laser ablation for damaged veins instead of sclerotherapy.
