EVLT in New Britain, CT
The endovenous laser treatment, abbreviated EVLT, is an innovative, minimally invasive laser or radio frequency treatment that provides a treatment option to those suffering from varicose veins without an extensive recovery period or scarring.
Endovenous laser treatment, or endovenous laser ablation, is performed with the use of concentrated radio frequency or laser energy. This specialized energy is directed specifically into the problem veins (endovenously) to address circulation complications at the source of the issue.
The energy injures the walls of the veins, causing them to close off and eliminate the pooling blood that causes the pain and unattractive aesthetic associated with varicose veins. Once EVLT is complete, the blood is rerouted through healthy vessels deeper within the tissue. The loss of a vein is not a health concern. Removal of these affected areas of circulation may actually improve blood circulation in the treated area. Improvement in limb circulation will lead to improvement of the symptoms of fatigue and heaviness in the area, and contribute to overall better circulation.
Endovenous laser treatment is administered on an out patient basis in a physician’s office with the use of local anesthesia. Scarring, side effects, and recovery time are minimal, making this a popular procedure for patients seeking to avoid more in depth treatment options.
EVLT has been approved by the FDA as a safe alternative to surgical vein stripping procedures. Traditionally, the faulty saphenous veins that can cause varicose veins are treated by surgical ligation and stripping. This can involve at least two surgical incisions in order to tie off and remove the faulty vein, and the procedure typically requires general anesthesia. EVLT has been shown to have a lower risk of complications, shorter recovery period, lower costs and no scarring associated with the procedure in comparison with surgery.
The possible benefits of EVLT are a decrease in the size or total closure of the problematic veins, resulting in a reduction or elimination of side effects and the appearance of varicose veins.
