What is EVLA?

EVLA (Endovenous Laser Ablation) is a treatment used to close faulty veins that cause varicose veins.

A fine laser fibre is inserted into the affected vein under ultrasound guidance. The laser energy seals the vein, redirecting blood flow to healthy veins.

The body then naturally absorbs the treated vein over time.

Why Choose EVLA Instead of Surgery?

Traditional vein stripping is now rarely required.

EVLA offers:

  • No general anaesthetic
  • No hospital stay
  • Minimal discomfort
  • Faster recovery
  • Lower complication rates

For most patients, EVLA is now considered the gold standard treatment for varicose veins.

Who is Suitable for EVLA?

EVLA is suitable if you have:

  • Visible varicose veins
  • Aching, heavy, or uncomfortable legs
  • Swelling around the ankles
  • Ultrasound-confirmed vein reflux

A consultation and scan will confirm whether EVLA is the right option for you.

The EVLA Procedure – Step by Step

1. Assessment
You will be assessed by Dr Dynesh Rittoo, including duplex ultrasound scanning.

2. Preparation
The treatment area is numbed using local anaesthetic.

3. Laser Treatment
A thin fibre is inserted into the vein and laser energy is delivered to seal it.

4. Completion
The procedure typically takes 60–90 minutes. You will be able to walk immediately afterwards.

Recovery After EVLA

Recovery is straightforward for most patients:

  • Walk immediately after treatment
  • Resume normal activities within a few days
  • Wear compression stockings if advised
  • Mild tightness or bruising may occur temporarily

Most patients find EVLA significantly easier to recover from than traditional surgery.

Results of EVLA Treatment

Following EVLA, you can expect:

  • Improvement in symptoms such as aching and heaviness
  • Gradual reduction in visible veins
  • Improved comfort and appearance of the legs

Additional treatments such as phlebectomy may be recommended to optimise cosmetic results.

FAQs

Is EVLA Painful?

EVLA is performed under local anaesthetic. Patients typically describe the procedure as comfortable and well tolerated, with only mild discomfort afterwards.

How Long Does EVLA Last?

The treated vein is permanently closed. However, as vein disease is progressive, new veins may develop over time.

Long-term results are excellent when treatment is performed correctly and underlying reflux is addressed.
