Title: Endovenous Laser Therapy


1
ENDOVENOUS LASER THERAPY (EVLT)
  • Presented By
  • http//www.usaveinclinics.com

PLAN YOUR DAY
  • Your EVLT visit is quite a short visit, so you
    can plan your day accordingly. You can eat and
    drink prior to the treatment.
  • You can plan to go back to work or to your normal
    daily activities right after the procedure. In
    fact, you will be encouraged by your doctor to
    walk.

PROCEDURE FOR LASER THERAPY
  • This is what to expect during the procedure
    after numbing your skin, a very thin laser
    catheter is inserted into your diseased vein.
    When the laser is on, the catheter is withdrawn
    from your vein, sealing the vein shut.
  • To prevent any irritation from the laser heat, we
    inject a solution of saline water with Lidocaine
    (like in a dentists office) around the treated
    vein.

A REMARKABLE SOLUTION
  • Once the vein is treated, compression stockings
    or bandages are applied to your leg, so please
    bring comfortable shoes with you (crocks,
    sandals, slippers are recommended).
  • You will be asked to wear compression stockings
    for up to 4 weeks after the treatment to ensure
    success of the treatment.

5
SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT
  • Again, our friendly receptionist will schedule
    you for a short fifteen minute post-procedure
    visit usually a few days after the EVLT, which
    will include another Ultrasound examination to
    ensure the perfect closure of the treated vein/s.
