EVLA uses existing laser fiber and ultrasound technology to heat treat and close the main superficial vein from the inside with laser energy. It’s a truly remarkable procedure that’s carried out by our consultant vein specialists to restore healthy vein flow to the legs. The EVLA treatment is minimally invasive but is a surgical treatment that involves guiding a laser fiber into the vein. A local anaesthetic solution is administered to ensure comfort during this short treatment.

A consultation at HHC consists of thorough history taking, clinical examination and US duplex assessment. Each patient being seen and assessed at HHC Vein Clinic will have a 3 step treatment strategy:

1. Initial Consultation including Duplex US scan

2. Main treatment episode to treat the underlying cause

3. Follow up appointment, usually to complete the treatment and attain the desired cosmetic result

Effective treatment is carried out within a few hours under local anaesthetic. The actual time required for the Endovenous Laser Therapy will vary according to the extent and complexity of the problematic veins. 

The anaesthetic wears off after 2-3 hours at which point you are free to leave providing that you have someone to accompany you. 

EVLA avoids the need for an overnight hospital stay and a long recovery period. Most people, depending on the type of work they do, are fine to return to work the following day.
