Struggling with aching, swollen legs from varicose veins? Laser Ablation (also called Endovenous Laser Ablation or EVLA) offers a quick, minimally invasive solution right in our clinic, no big surgery or long hospital stays. Imagine tiny laser energy sealing those faulty veins from the inside, letting your body naturally reroute blood through healthier paths for smoother legs and lasting relief.
Here’s how it works, step by step, tailored for your comfort. First, we use ultrasound to map your veins precisely, like a GPS for your legs. A small nick near the knee lets us slide in a thin laser fiber through a catheter, no stitches needed. Local anesthetic numbs the area (just like at the dentist), and we add tumescent fluid around the vein for extra cushioning and safety. The laser tip heats the vein wall as it’s slowly pulled back, causing it to collapse, scar, and fade away over weeks. You’ll feel only mild warmth, if anything- the whole procedure takes 30-60 minutes per leg.
Walk out the same day! Expect compression stockings for 1-2 weeks to boost healing, light walking to prevent clots, and minimal soreness eased by over-the-counter pain relief. With 95-98% success rates, symptoms like heaviness, cramps, and swelling vanish for most patients, plus a cosmetic boost. Risks are low (minor bruising, rare nerve tingles), far better than traditional stripping. Ready for lighter legs? Book your scan today and step into summer confidently.
