EVLT procedure

New Laser Removal Technology for Vein disorders
Vascular disorders are growing in occurrence throughout America as patients are inflicted with spider veins, varicose veins, and other severe venous dysfunctions. Treatments for venous disorders have become more technologically advanced, evolving into a full gamut of procedures that facilitate greater vascular health while effectively removing unsightly and uncomfortable venous conditions. Endovenous laser treatment, or EVLT, is an available treatment option which requires no incisions and no general anesthesia. How could this be possible? Thanks to laser technology, physicians who specialize in vascular care are now able to use just a needle-sized laser fiber to collapse and shrink veins that are dysfunctional and ineffective. Once the treatment is complete, patients may notice that the heaviness in their legs disappears as the affected region heals. This treatment has revolutionized the method by which vascular conditions are treated, allowing physicians to treat patients with non-invasive technology at a 98% success rate.

The EVLT procedure is primarily used as a treatment method for varicose veins. Because there is minimal scarring and scarce post-operation recovery time, patients selecting to undergo EVLT are afforded a faster return to everyday life with long term success rates. Endovenous laser treatment has become a commonly used procedure in many vascular care clinics at which medical professionals may offer this laser-assisted treatment in supplement to sclerotherapy or VNUS Closure FAST.
