Endovenous Laser Ablation
Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that bulge just beneath the surface of the skin, typically in the legs. They can cause discomfort, aching, and detract from the appearance of your legs.
Advantages of Endovenous Laser Ablation:
Minimally invasive: EVLA offers a significant advantage over traditional vein stripping surgery. It requires a smaller incision, leading to quicker recovery time and less scarring.
Reduced pain and faster recovery: Compared to surgery, EVLA typically causes less pain during and after the procedure. Patients can usually resume normal activities within a day or two after EVLA, allowing for a quicker return to their daily routine.
