Dedicated to both medical and cosmetic outcomes, the team delivers personalized care in a comfortable setting, helping patients find relief from painful varicose veins while restoring confidence in their appearance.
Ideal Candidates for EVLA
Most patients with symptomatic varicose veins are excellent candidates for EVLA. You may benefit from this treatment if you:
- Have varicose veins that cause discomfort, such as pain, swelling, heaviness, or cramping
- Suffer from venous insufficiency, where the valves in your veins aren’t working properly
- Want a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime compared to traditional surgery
- Are generally in good health and able to walk immediately after the procedure to support circulation
- Have realistic expectations, understanding that EVLA closes diseased veins but won’t necessarily prevent new ones from forming over time
Who May Not Be a Candidate
While EVLA is safe and effective for many, some may not be suitable for this procedure. You may not be a candidate if you:
- Have veins too small, twisted, or close to the skin’s surface, making EVLA technically challenging
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding, as vein treatments are usually postponed until after delivery
- Have a history of blood clotting disorders or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) that may increase risks
- Cannot tolerate local anesthesia or compression stockings, both of which are part of the process
- Have certain underlying medical conditions that affect healing or circulation
