Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) is a form of treatment for varicose veins that includes using a laser in place of radio waves to shrink and close problematic veins. In this procedure, the doctor will carefully pass a laser fibre through a catheter into the affected vein(s). Once the affected veins are closed, blood is redirected to other healthy veins in the body where it can flow back to the heart. This form of treatment can completely heal the varicose veins and once a vein has been treated, the condition should not reappear. In addition, endovenous laser treatment is traditionally considered less painful than vein stripping and ligation, resulting in a shorter recovery time, and typically only local anesthesia is used for it.
