The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, without the need for general anesthesia or time off work.
During the treatment, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein. Using a precisely targeted laser beam, the vein wall is heated and sealed from the inside, which immediately stops the backward flow of blood (reflux) and redirects blood into healthy veins.
As a result, the body naturally absorbs the non-functioning vein. The treatment does not involve any incisions or open wounds.
The EVLA procedure (Endovenous Laser Ablation) begins with an initial examination, during which a vascular specialist uses ultrasound to map the venous system in detail and determine whether this method is suitable for the patient.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, meaning there is no need for general anesthesia and the patient remains fully conscious throughout.
Under continuous ultrasound guidance, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein, and its position is carefully monitored. Then, laser energy is applied, which closes the diseased vein from within.
The entire procedure usually takes 60–90 minutes, and once completed, the patient can leave immediately and walk home without the need for hospitalization.
Minimally invasive – no cutting, no stitching, and no scars.
No general anesthesia – performed under local anesthesia only.
Low discomfort – most patients describe the procedure as slightly uncomfortable rather than painful.
Fast recovery – patients can return to normal activities within 1–2 days.
High effectiveness – long-term results show over 95% success rate.
Immediate cosmetic improvement – visible reduction of varicose veins almost instantly.

You do not need to fast or undergo any preoperative tests before the procedure. We recommend wearing loose clothing and shaving the groin area and the area of varicose veins.

After the treatment, wear compression stockings for 7 days. Remove the adhesive strips on day 3. Any bruising can be treated with the prescribed ointment or with Lioton or Hirudoid gel.
Regular walking is recommended immediately after the procedure, but sports and heavier physical activity should be avoided for at least 2 weeks.
You can usually return to work within 3–4 days.
If the procedure is performed under analgosedation, do not drive and arrange for someone to accompany you home.
