What is Endovenous Laser Ablation?
Endovenous Laser Ablation, or EVLA, is a non-surgical and minimally invasive varicose vein treatment that offers an effective alternative to the surgical stripping of veins. It is performed in the office under local anesthetic using our unique numbing system. Endovenous Laser Ablation is the safest, most effective and long-term solution that science and modern medicine offers for varicose vein treatments.
How Does the EVLA Procedure Work?
Under ultrasound guidance, a thin fiber-optic probe is inserted through a tiny entry point, usually near the knee. Laser energy is delivered to seal the faulty vein so that blood cannot flow through it. This eliminates unsightly bulging and enables the blood to be diverted to healthy veins in the leg, thereby alleviating any symptoms. Immediately after the procedure patients can resume daily activity. Most patients are able to return to work immediately.

Innovative ThermaLite 1470 nm Laser System
Alsara Clinic exclusively uses the leading edge EVLA technology (1470 nm laser system), which decreases discomfort and bruising, while maintaining the unparalleled efficacy and safety of laser technology. Studies have shown that Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is more effective in treating varicose veins than Radiofrequency Ablation (VNUS Closure). Traditional laser machines have utilized lower frequencies (810 nm or 980 nm) and target blood (hemoglobin) within the veins. However there was more, although temporary, bruising and soreness noted with these laser frequencies than with radiofrequency ablation. The new ThermaLite 1470 nm laser machines target water in the vein wall instead of hemoglobin, which results in much less discomfort, practically no bruising, and fast return to normal activities. This is particularly important for people living active lifestyles who want to resume their activities right away and would like to wear shorts or skirts. The new 1470nm offers the best of both worlds. Alsara Clinic has treated numerous patients using the new 1470 nm Laser with almost no discomfort or any bruising after the procedure. Our patients cannot be happier with the results.
