Vein Ablation Procedure

What is vein ablation? To perform Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA), a catheter is inserted into the affected vein, followed by a laser fiber. A local anesthetic is used to numb the region. The laser will close off the varicose vein and allow the healthy veins to continue to circulate the blood.

A Minimally Invasive Outpatient Treatment

Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows you to get back to your normal routine in less than an hour.

EVLA Side Effects

The side effects of endovenous laser ablation aren’t significant. Laser vein removal might cause bruising, soreness, or tightness. 

 

In general, the effects of laser vein removal can last for a few days to a few weeks, depending on the extent of the procedure and other factors.
