What Is Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)?
Endоvеnоuѕ Laser Ablаtіоn (EVLA), often called laser vein ablation, is a popular method of treating varicose veins and spider veins. It has been studied extensively, and research shows it is safe and effective. Because no general anesthesia is involved, your vein treatment clinic typically offers the procedure on-site.
Laser vein ablation begins with injecting a local anesthetic to numb the treated area. This ensures that you experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Next, a small incision is made in the skin. Using ultrasound guidance for accuracy, your vein doctor delivers laser energy to the vein through a tiny laser fiber. The laser energy permanently closes the treated vein, and blood is automatically rerouted to other, healthier veins. The tissue from the sealed vessel is eventually reabsorbed by your body, eliminating the pain, swelling, and unsightly appearance of varicose and spider veins.
The entire procedure takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number and severity of veins being treated. Though you will have to wear a compression bandage for a couple of days and compression stockings for a bit longer, you can return to most of your normal activities right away.
At the Vein Treatment Clinic in Astoria, Dr. Shaun Cole performs EVLA using advanced laser technology for fast healing and minimal discomfort.
