Endovenous laser ablation, also known as Endovenous Laser Ablation, is a minimally invasive, office-based treatment for varicose veins. It uses ultrasound guidance to direct laser energy into diseased, malfunctioning veins.
Laser treatment for varicose veins takes less than an hour, from arrival to departure. The actual treatment takes only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many veins are involved. After treatment, you can leave immediately and resume most normal activities.
