Varicose Vein Treatment (EVLT) in China

Procedure: 45 min
Recommended stay: 4 days
Recovery: 5 days

Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) uses laser energy delivered through a thin fiber to seal problematic veins shut from the inside. Performed under local tumescent anesthesia, it is a walk-in-walk-out procedure with no hospital stay. The entire process takes about 45-60 minutes per leg. You can walk immediately after and resume normal activities within 1-2 days. Compression stockings are worn for 1-2 weeks to optimize results. Chinese vascular surgeons perform EVLT at high volumes, giving them exceptional procedural expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EVLT painful?
The procedure uses local tumescent anesthesia which numbs the area completely. You may feel some pressure during the laser activation, but not pain. Post-procedure discomfort is mild and managed with over-the-counter pain relief and walking.
Are the results permanent?
The treated veins are permanently closed and gradually absorbed by the body over months. However, new varicose veins may develop over time due to genetic predisposition — this happens regardless of where you have the procedure done.
How long do I need compression stockings?
Typically 1-2 weeks of daytime wear. Your surgeon will provide guidance. Walking regularly after the procedure actually helps results and reduces discomfort.
