What are Varicose Veins?

Veins carry blood back to the heart working against gravity. Tiny valves inside the veins act as one-way doors to prevent backward flow. When these valves weaken, blood pools in the legs, causing the veins to enlarge, twist, and become varicose.

Laser Therapy (EVLT)

A modern, walk-in, walk-out treatment:

Performed under local anesthesia—no hospital stay
A tiny laser fiber is inserted into the damaged vein
Laser heat energy collapses and seals the vessel walls
Blood flow is automatically re-routed to healthy deep veins

Treatment Benefits

No surgical incisions, cuts, or scars
High success rate of 98% with minimal recurrence
Zero hospitalization—walk home same day
Instant relief from aching and heaviness
Covered by major corporate health insurance

Advanced Jacketed Fibers

Older laser methods carried risks of leg bruising and temporary pain because raw fibers contacted the inner vein wall. Dr. Amjad uses state-of-the-art **jacketed laser fibers** which shield the vein from direct contact. This ensures uniform energy delivery and complete lack of tissue trauma, pain, or bruising.

Re-routing Leg Blood Flow

It is common to wonder how blood flows after a vein is closed. Varicose veins are superficial veins that carry less than 5% of blood. Once closed, the body's natural hemodynamics instantly re-route the blood through healthy deep veins, immediately reducing pressure on the leg tissues.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Recognize the progression of venous insufficiency before it causes skin changes.

Bulging & Twisted Veins

Veins appearing dark blue or purple, bulging outward like thick cords, or forming twisted clusters along the calf and thighs.

Leg Heaviness & Muscle Cramps

A persistent aching, throbbing, or heavy feeling in the legs, worsening after long standing. Muscle cramps, especially at night.

Pregnancy Pressure

Increased blood volume and pelvic venous pressure during pregnancy. Often resolves naturally within 3 to 12 months post-delivery.

Venous Ulcers & Eczema

Skin thinning, severe itching, brownish pigmentation around the ankles, leading to painful, non-healing venous ulcers if left untreated.

The EVLT Walk-in Procedure

Endovenous Laser Treatment is performed as a daycare outpatient procedure:

Local Numbing

The surgeon uses local anesthesia (tumescent numbing fluid) around the target vein, ensuring the patient feels zero heat or discomfort during laser activation.

Laser Delivery & Seal

Under ultrasound guidance, a thin laser fiber is inserted. As the fiber is slowly retracted, concentrated light energy seals the vein shut from the inside.

Daycare Recovery Timeline

Step 1: Puncture & Treat (45 Mins)

The procedure takes under 45 minutes per leg. Patients are fully awake and can chat with the medical team.

Step 2: Immediate Walking

Immediately after the fiber is removed, a compression stocking is put on, and the patient is asked to walk for 15-20 minutes to verify normal deep vein flow.

Step 3: Discharge & Resume Life

You walk out of the clinic and return to your home or office. Desk work and routine walking can be resumed the very same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about endovenous laser vein treatment.

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to numb the leg, so you feel little to no discomfort. We also use advanced jacketed laser fibers which prevent direct contact between the vein wall and the fiber, eliminating post-procedure bruising and pain.

You will be asked to walk immediately after the procedure and can resume your day-to-day light activities on the same day. Most patients return to normal office work the next day. There is no hospital stay or bed rest required.

The treated veins are superficial veins that carry less than 5% of the leg's blood supply. The deep veins in your legs are responsible for the rest. When the diseased varicose vein is sealed shut, the body naturally and instantly re-routes the blood flow through these healthy deep veins.

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) has an exceptionally high long-term success rate of over 98%. The treated vein is permanently closed and absorbed by the body. While new veins can theoretically become varicose over time due to genetics or standing, the treated vein will not recur.

Yes, most major health insurance policies and corporate plans cover laser treatment for varicose veins when it is medically indicated (due to chronic pain, swelling, skin discoloration, or non-healing ulcers).
