If heavy, aching legs or visible veins are slowing you down, Endovenous Laser Ablation, EVLA, offers a fast, comfortable way to restore healthy circulation. This laser treatment gently seals malfunctioning veins, rerouting blood through healthier pathways and easing symptoms related to chronic venous insufficiency, CVI.
At our Astoria vein clinic, EVLA is performed by experienced vein specialists using real-time ultrasound for precision. Most appointments take less than an hour, you can walk out the same day, and your plan is personalized to your symptoms and goals.
We treat spider veins y varicosas, and provide complete CVI diagnostics to address the root cause of discomfort. All consultations include a complimentary CVI screening.
What makes a vein clinic the best choice for Endovenous Laser Ablation, EVLA?
Results depend on thoughtful diagnosis, skilled technique, and quality equipment. A trusted clinic blends all three, so treatment targets the right veins and relief lasts.
Why does specialization matter for EVLA?
EVLA calls for precise catheter placement and a deep understanding of vein anatomy.
At our Astoria location, Dr. Shaun Cole, a board-certified vein specialist, performs EVLA with ultrasound guidance, ensuring each laser fiber treats the correct segment for an optimal outcome. Our broader team of vein specialists focuses on venous medicine every day, which supports consistent results.
How does EVLA work to improve circulation?
A thin laser fiber is placed into the diseased vein using ultrasound visualization. Controlled laser energy warms the vein wall, the vein closes, and blood naturally reroutes to healthy veins. Over time, the closed vein is reabsorbed, which helps reduce swelling, heaviness, and tenderness.
What symptoms can EVLA help treat?
People choose EVLA to relieve:
- Leg heaviness or aching
- Ankle swelling that worsens through the day
- Night cramps, throbbing, or fatigue after standing
- Visible varicose veins
Many patients feel lighter legs and less discomfort within days, with continued improvement as circulation restores.
Is EVLA safe and comfortable?
Yes. EVLA is performed under local anesthesia at our high-end vein treatment center. Patients typically walk right after treatment. Compression stockings are used for 24 hours after the procedure to ensure optimal results.
Relief can be immediate for some, while others notice gradual improvement over time.
Is EVLA covered by insurance?
Yes. When medically necessary for vein disease or symptoms, EVLA is commonly covered by insurance, including Medicare. Our insurance support concierge team confirms benefits and manages pre-authorizations before your visit.
When should you consider Endovenous Laser Ablation, EVLA?
If compression, elevation, or lifestyle changes have not eased pain or swelling, EVLA may be the right next step to improve circulation and prevent progression.
What are signs that EVLA could help?
You may benefit if you have:
- Bulging or visible veins
- Heavy, tired legs, especially later in the day
- Nighttime cramping or throbbing
- Discomfort that worsens after long periods of sitting or standing
How soon can you return to daily activities, and when will you notice results?
Most people resume normal routines the same day. Results vary, but many patients notice less swelling and discomfort within days, with visible changes developing over several weeks as the treated vein fades.
