Recovery from Endovenous Laser Therapy
After the EVLT procedure, most patients experience mild bruising and tightness in the legs, although these side effects usually subside within a few days. Patients can return home immediately and are able to resume work and other normal activities the next day. Exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 5 – 7 days.
Once the procedure is completed and recovery has taken place, most patients can enjoy pain-free, more attractive legs. As many as 98 percent of patients who have EVLT are satisfied with the results.
