If you suffer from aching legs or are unhappy about the appearance of varicose veins then you are not alone. Up to 40% of women and 25% of men will be affected at some time in their life. Contributing factors include pregnancy, sedentary professions, obesity and age. Spire Regency Hospital now offers a minimally invasive procedure (EVLT) to treat varicose veins.
What is EVLT?
EVLT is a quick, minimally invasive procedure
Endovenous laser therapy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure, which closes the varicose vein with no scarring. At Spire Regency Hospital in Macclesfield this procedure is performed under local anaesthetic in our treatment room. EVLT takes less than 60 minutes and patients can return home as soon as the procedure is finished. Normal activities can be resumed immediately and most patients are back to work within a day or two.
At Spire Regency Hospital the EVLT procedure is carried out by our consultant vascular surgeons.
