While there is no way to prevent varicose veins from occurring, there are advanced procedures that can alleviate symptoms and significantly reduce visibility. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is a procedure that uses ultrasound and a laser to precisely close off the affected vein. After the varicose vein is closed off, the blood flow reroutes through other healthier veins. It is an in office treatment with little to no downtime.
Complications from EVLT are rare, and most patients experience little to no side effects. Follow-up visits and ultrasounds are recommended to check for any potential issues that may arise and can be used by your doctor to assess your unique healing process.
