Laser Varicose Veins Training Program in India

What is EVLA?

EVLA is a method of treating varicose veins using carefully controlled laser to ablate the vein. The veins usually targeted are in the main trunks of the legs:

The veins usually targeted are in the main trunks of the legs:

Great Saphenous Vein (GSV)
Small Saphenous Vein (SSV)
Minimal recurrence
Tributary Veins such as Anterior Accessory Saphenous Vein (AASV)

Why Laser for Endo Venous Laser Ablation (EVLA)?

Varicose vein is probably the most common lifestyle ailment affecting both men and women at any age. Most patients are known to avoid surgical treatment because it is painful, time-consuming, and worst of all, and creates a scar. Now the patients are well-informed about the use of the laser to treat their conditions and almost demand to use the same for their case. This is not a very surprising situation because it means that your patients are eager to lead a better life, free from pain and discomfort.

If you really want to help more and more patients step towards a better life, start saying “Yes” to Laser surgery. Participate in this unique program designed by Photoniccs for ambitious practitioners like you.

Procedures You Will Learn in EVLA Training

The EVLA laser procedure is carried out by inserting the laser fibre into the affected varicose vein (endo venous means inside the vein). The detailed procedure is as follows:

Apply a local anaesthetic over the affected area and insert a needle in the area.
Pass a wire through the needle up the vein.
Remove the needle and pass a catheter (thin plastic tubing) over the wire into the saphenous vein
Pass a laser radial fibre up the catheter in such a way that its tip reached the point that needs to be heated the most (usually the groin crease).
Inject enough local anaesthetic solution into the vein through multiple needle pricks or by Tumescent anaesthesia.
Fire up the laser and pull the radial fibre down centimetre by centimetre in 20 to 30 minutes.
Heat the veins through by laser fibre passed through the catheter causing homogenous destruction of the vein’s walls by shrinking it and sealing it off. As a result, there is no more blood flow in these veins that may result in swelling. The surrounding healthy veins are free of the varicose veins and therefore able to resume with the healthy blood flow.
Remove the laser and the catheter and cover the needle puncture wound with a small dressing.

This procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes per leg. The smaller veins may need to undergo sclerotherapy
