Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

A Minimally Invasive Solution for Varicose Veins

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

At Cellara Pain Institute in Madison, NJ, we offer Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) as a highly effective and minimally invasive option for treating varicose veins. EVLT is recognized for its excellent cosmetic results, high success rate, and reduced risk of complications—making it a preferred alternative to traditional surgery.

How EVLT Works

The procedure begins with a small incision in the leg, through which a laser fiber is guided into the problem vein using ultrasound. The laser emits energy that heats the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Once the damaged vein is closed, the body naturally redirects blood flow to healthy veins located deeper within the leg.

Comfort, Convenience, and Results

Unlike vein stripping surgery, EVLT does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization. It’s performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes less than an hour. Most patients experience only mild discomfort or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Normal activities can often be resumed shortly after treatment.

Why Choose EVLT at Cellara Pain Institute?

  • Minimally invasive: No need for stitches or general anesthesia

  • Clinically proven: High closure rates for treated veins

  • Fast recovery: Most patients return to daily routines within 24–48 hours

  • Cosmetic improvement: Noticeable reduction in varicose vein appearance

  • Insurance accepted: Covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare

Laser-based treatments have revolutionized vein care, and EVLT continues to set the standard for modern vascular therapy.

How Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) Works

At Cellara Pain Institute, we use Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) to effectively treat varicose veins with precision and minimal discomfort. Before starting the procedure, a detailed ultrasound is performed to map the exact location and path of the affected vein.

Once the treatment area is numbed with local anesthesia, a thin laser fiber is gently inserted into the vein through a small opening in the skin. As the fiber is slowly withdrawn, it releases targeted laser energy that heats the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. Blood flow is then naturally rerouted to healthier veins deeper in the leg, while the treated vein is gradually absorbed by the body.

Post-Treatment Expectations

Most patients are encouraged to resume walking and daily activities right after the procedure. Any mild soreness or swelling can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers (excluding aspirin) and usually resolves within a few days.
