Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat varicose veins. This procedure uses laser energy to close off problematic veins, thereby improving both symptoms and appearance. At Charming Skin, we offer this advanced treatment to help you achieve healthier, more comfortable legs.
EVLA involves the insertion of a small catheter into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. A laser fiber is then threaded through the catheter and emits laser energy, causing the Vena to collapse and seal shut. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body, and blood flow is naturally redirected to healthier veins. This outpatient procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
