Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)
Modern vein treatment with specialist vascular care.
Endovenous laser therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for suitable varicose veins. Following an ultrasound assessment, your vascular consultant will explain the procedure, aftercare and recovery, and create a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms and circulation.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)?
Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins by sealing the affected vein from the inside using laser energy. Rather than removing the vein through traditional surgery, a fine laser fibre is inserted into the vein through a small incision, causing the vein to close and allowing blood to naturally reroute through healthy veins.
EVLT is performed under local anaesthetic, requires no large incisions, and typically allows patients to return to normal daily activities much sooner than conventional vein surgery. The procedure effectively relieves symptoms such as aching, heaviness, swelling, and discomfort while also improving the appearance of varicose veins.
At Battersea Hospital, our vascular specialists use advanced ultrasound-guided laser technology to deliver safe, effective treatment with excellent clinical and cosmetic outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What is Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT)?
EVLT is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to seal diseased varicose veins, allowing blood to flow through healthy veins instead.
Is EVLT painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. Mild soreness or bruising afterwards is common but usually resolves quickly.
How soon can I return to normal activities?
Most patients are able to walk immediately after treatment and return to work and normal daily activities within one to three days.
Will my varicose veins disappear immediately?
The treated vein gradually closes and is naturally absorbed by the body over several weeks or months. Symptoms often improve quickly, while cosmetic results continue to develop over time.
Will I need to wear compression stockings?
Yes. Your consultant will usually recommend wearing compression stockings for a short period after treatment to support healing and optimise your results.
