Laser Therapy (EVLT): The ins and outs |
EVLT is the latest alternative
to the traditional vein stripping procedure - which
requires hospitalisation, general anaesthetic and
healing time from incisions and stripping. EVLT
is an in-office procedure, performed under local
anesthesia, that takes about an hour, is very safe
and virtually painless. Better yet, there is little
downtime.
Procedure: A catheter is placed inside the vein
using local anaesthetic with ultrasound guidance.
Inside the catheter, a laser fibre is threaded which,
when activated, can close the vein from the inside.
After the treatment, patients need to wear compression
stocking for two weeks. From there on, patients
can resume their normaly daily activities.
- Up to 90
percent success rate with no scarring
- Lower rick of complications
- Fast recovery with great patient satisfaction
