How does Endovenous Laser Treatment Perform?

During EVLA treatment, a tiny optic fiber will be inserted via a needle into your varicose vein monitored with ultrasound guidance. Next, the laser is enabled and when the optic fiber is taken out from the vein, it heats and seals the vein. After the vein is sealed, the blood circulation via the vein is automatically re-directed to healthy veins. After some time the body absorbs the closed vein.

EVLT Post Treatment care

After the treatment, the patients are asked to wear compression bandages at daytime and walk for a minimum of 10 minutes each, 3 times a day for almost 2 weeks.

Post-treatment, your doctor would give detailed aftercare instructions. The most crucial thing you need to remember is to maintain mobility to keep smooth blood circulation while recovering.
