WHAT IS ENDOVENOUS LASER ABLATION THERAPY? (EVLT PROCEDURE)
Endovenous Laser Ablation Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses catheters, lasers, and ultrasound for varicose veins treatments. This procedure is performed most often on veins that are still relatively straight and untwisted.
Dr. Bacha starts the EVLT procedure by inserting an IV catheter using local anesthetic into the affected vein. Using ultrasound technology, Dr. Bacha guides the tiny laser fiber through the vein for precise placement. Then, more layers of topical anesthetic are placed around the vein, and the lase is pulled out slowly. The procedure uses laser energy through a concentrated beam of laser light delivered with razor-sharp precision directly to the affected tissue. This ensures that the surrounding area is unaffected. Moreover, this causes blood to stop flowing through the vein. During recovery, circulation will become more efficient, and the faulty vein shrinks and fades. Dr. Bacha pays close attention to all the elements involved to ensure great medical results as well as the cosmetic effect on the treatment area.
