What is endovenous laser treatment for varicose veins?

Endovenous Laser Ablation – EVLA is one of the most advanced and minimally invasive methods for treating leg varicose veins, performed using laser energy and without the need for open surgery.

In this method, a laser fiber is inserted into the varicose vein, and controlled thermal energy causes closure of the diseased vein from within and eliminates the abnormal blood flow.

This service is provided as a specialized procedure by Dr. Seyed Mohsen Jahromi-Moghadam (cardiovascular and vascular disease subspecialist) at Delban Advanced Cardiovascular Clinic – Mashhad.

What is endovenous laser treatment used for?

EVLA laser is specifically used to treat:

• Identification of abnormal veins and the pathway of blood reflux
• Determination of the severity of venous insufficiency

🔹 These assessments are performed or interpreted directly by Dr. Jahromi-Moghadam so the best treatment decision can be made.
