Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) uses laser energy to seal faulty veins from the inside, improving circulation and reducing varicose vein symptoms. It’s quick, safe, and requires little to no downtime.
What is Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)?
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins and other vascular conditions. This treatment utilizes laser technology to close off and seal the affected veins, helping to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and heaviness in the legs.
At Vein Doctor of Tampa, we offer EVLT as a cutting-edge solution to varicose veins. With its high success rate, minimal downtime, and quick recovery, EVLT is an excellent option for patients seeking a non-surgical treatment for their vein issues.

How Does Endovenous Laser Treatment Work?
Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) works by using laser energy to target the walls of the problematic vein. A small catheter is inserted into the affected vein through a tiny incision. The laser fiber at the tip of the catheter emits energy that heats up the vein, causing it to shrink and close off. As the vein is sealed, blood flow is redirected to healthier veins, which helps alleviate the symptoms associated with venous insufficiency.
The procedure is usually completed in less than an hour, and patients can typically resume normal activities shortly afterward.
