Endovenous Laser Therapy For Varicose Veins: What You Need To Know

Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive option for treating varicose veins and underlying venous problems. It works by delivering focused laser energy to an affected vein, causing the vein to close so blood can be redirected through healthier vessels. At USA Vein Clinics, vein specialists use ultrasound imaging to evaluate vein function and create a treatment plan based on individual needs. EVLT is performed in an outpatient setting and typically does not require traditional surgery or lengthy recovery. By treating the source of abnormal blood flow, this procedure may help reduce symptoms such as swelling, aching, leg heaviness, and discomfort associated with varicose veins.
