Endovenous Laser Therapy is Safe, Fast and Effective!!

Endovenous Laser Therapy, simply known as EVLT, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat venous insufficiency as an alternative to painful stripping procedures. EVLT is fast, safe and effective. The procedure allows patients to resume normal activities almost immediately. 

Here are a few of the benefits of this procedure:

• Takes less than an hour to perform
• Performed as an outpatient
• Offers immediate relief from symptoms
• No downtime
• No need for general anesthesia
• Up to a 98% success rate
• No scarring

This minimally invasive procedure is one of the most advanced and the following is what patients can expect:

During the EVLT procedure, Dr. Bailey will identify the refluxing veins with an ultrasound device after your leg is prepared in a sterile fashion. A local anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort. A laser fiber is inserted through a small needle into the abnormal vein. Once the laser fiber is in perfect position the laser is turned on. The heat from the laser seals the vein closed as the fiber is withdrawn and the patient is left with only a small 1 millimeter puncture site. Blood is then automatically rerouted into the healthy veins where the valves work properly.

Finally, here is the "typical" recovery experience:

After the EVLT procedure, most patients experience mild tenderness and slight bruising. This is treated with Ibuprofen or other over the counter anti–inflammatory medicine. Patients return to work and normal activities the next day. Over the next several weeks patients can sometimes have a mild tingling sensation along the course of the vein.

Dr. Bailey and his staff are dedicated to providing patients with the highest standard of care combined with personal attention, and privacy in a safe and comfortable environment.  We want to make sure ALL of your questions are answered to help you make an informed decision about your cosmetic procedure.
