INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

What is EVLA (endovenous laser ablation)?

The modern EVLA method uses a laser to remove damaged veins quickly, gently and with minimal recovery time. EVLA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses the energy of a laser beam to close diseased veins. The laser causes selective heating of the vein wall, causing it to shrink and close. Over a period of 6–12 weeks after the procedure, the vein gradually scars and disappears.

EVLA is a gentle alternative to conventional surgery – with less pain, shorter recovery time and better cosmetic results. The advantage is that it is performed under ultrasound control. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, when a diluted anaesthetic is injected into the vein area. This ensures low painfulness of the procedure and protection of the surrounding tissue from overheating. In some cases, it is possible to use a combination with analgosedation or general anaesthesia at the client’s request. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes.
