Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA/EVLT) In The Highlands

It is important to follow the advice of your vein specialist as closely as possible following EVLA to ensure that you get the full benefit of the treatment and avoid any complications.

Post-treatment advice may include:

• Take over the counter anti-inflammatories or pain killers (ibuprofen or paracetamol) for a few days after the treatment, which will ensure you feel comfortable.
• Wear the supplied or recommended compression stockings for the time period advised.
• Plan for an average of three days off work post treatment although some people do return to work sooner (even on the same day), this depends on how you feel and your type of work.
• Do plenty of walking post-treatment (ideally four miles per day for two weeks).
• Avoid hot baths, Jacuzzis, steam rooms or swimming pools for two weeks after treatment.
• Avoid drinking alcohol for 24/48 hours following treatment.
