Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

Endovenous Laser is a minimally invasive, clinically proven alternative to surgical vein stripping that treats varicose veins by using a laser fiber to deliver energy inside the vein, directly into the vein wall. The precise laser energy achieves optimal therapeutic effect while limiting collateral damage.

BENEFITS OF EVLT
  1. Treatment in less than an hour
  2. Can be performed in the doctor’s office
  3. Minimal post procedure pain
  4. Immediate return to activity
  5. NO general anesthesia or hospitalization
  6. NO Incision Scar
  7. Read more about the advantages of EVLT in my blog here

This Video is an extract from a documentary shown on Channel U Singapore in 2003. Notice that the patient has EVLT of both legs done without any anesthesia or sedation. She was wide awake throughout the procedure and she was able to walk immediately afterwards.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY OF PROCEDURE
  1. Ultrasound examination to map out your vein
  2. Local anesthetic is applied. Sedation can also be given if you are needle phobic
  3. A thin laser fiber is inserted through a tiny entry point (usually near the knee)
  4. Laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein
  5. You will be required to wear tight surgical stocking for 4-5 days
  6. Your normal day activity is then resumed. In fact, walking immediately after the procedure is encouraged (just avoid rigorous activities)
