Patients can return to daily activities in 2-4 days; as swelling and bruising gradually diminish over the next few weeks.
Results
Results may vary for each individual, with optimal outcomes typically seen after a few months.
Dive into the Tech
The Fotona® Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) treatment uses laser-induced thermal effects to ablate and photocoagulate the inner layers of veins. This less invasive method offers lower complication rates, making it a preferred alternative to traditional surgical stripping and ligation.
How it Works
Fotona® Endovenous Laser Ablation Treatment (EVLA) involves three key steps.
Step 1
Using a G19 needle under ultrasound guidance, an entry hole is made for the laser fiber to be inserted through a catheter.
Step 2
Tumescent anesthesia, delivered via syringe or pump, provides analgesic and vasoconstricting effects while protecting surrounding tissue.
Step 3
Laser energy from a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is delivered via a bare fiber in a catheter, gradually firing and withdrawing to deposit thermal energy.

The Treatment of Saphenous Vein Occlusion by Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) with a 1064 nm VSP Nd:YAG Laser
This paper presents a study in which endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of saphenous veins with a VSP Nd:YAG laser system was conducted on 525 legs.
Treatment of Venous Ulcer of the Lower Leg by Endovenous Laser Ablation
This study highlights that 23 unhealed chronic ulcers were treated with endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of associated perforating and truncal incompetent veins.
