The EVLT Procedure

EVLT is a quick, minimally invasive laser procedure that leaves no scar and can be performed here at Advanced Diagnostic Radiology. The treatment takes less than one hour. Here’s what to expect:

• Your doctor uses ultrasound to map out your vein.
• Local anesthetic is applied.
• A thin laser fiber is inserted through a tiny entry point usually near the knee.
• Laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein.
• Walking immediately after the procedure is encouraged. Normal daily activity can be resumed (just avoid rigorous activities, such as gym workouts).
• There may be minor soreness and bruising. Any discomfort can be treated with over-the-counter, non-aspirin pain relievers as needed.
