Endovenous Laser Ablation

Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat varicose veins. It uses laser energy to heat the walls of the vein and cause them to shrink, allowing blood flow to be directed to healthier veins. EVLA is a safe and effective method of providing long-term relief from the symptoms of varicose veins, such as leg swelling and discomfort, and can reduce the risk of complications such as skin discolouration and ulceration. It can also improve the appearance of the legs, as veins don’t have to be surgically removed. This procedure can be performed in a doctor’s office, greatly reducing recovery time, and has been shown to be an effective way of improving quality of life and reducing the need for further treatment.
