EVLT treatment laser

EVLT treatment laser

The new clinical technique of minimally invasive varicose vein treatment now is getting more popular in the world. Velas diode laser system provides the fully solution during the process. This treatment enjoys 98% success rates with excellent long-term results ,which has been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to painful surgery, and is rapidly becoming the gold standard in varicose vein treatment.
With excellent hemostatic and ablative capabilities, the flexile optic fiber inserts into the vein through catheter, and emits accurate laser energy to coagulate and seal the vein shut.

How does EVLT work?

The vein is punctured through an anaesthetised site at about the knee for the thigh vein or the ankle for the calf vein. A wire is passed up the vein, a 45cm long fine tube is passed over the wire, and the laser probe is introduced through the tube. Local anaesthetic is infiltrated around the vein at several levels using extremely fine needles directed by ultrasound. The laser tip is precisely positioned just below the end of the saphenous vein using ultrasound guidance. The probe is activated and slowly withdrawn destroying the full length of the vein. The procedure involves minimal discomfort. Compression stocking is applied after treatment.

Patients should only suffer minimal discomfort during the procedure,and can be back to normal status the next day.
