How does EVLA work?
The laser energy damages the vein walls, shrinking them and closing the faulty vein. This eliminates vein bulging at its source.
Is loss of the vein a problem?
No. After treatment, the blood in the faulty veins will be naturally diverted to the many normal veins in the leg.
Are there any complications?
Minimal complications may be experienced after the procedure, the most common of which is bruising. In rare cases there may be slight numbness, which should pass quickly.
How successful is EVLA?
Published clinical studies show that EVLA has a 98% initial success rate with excellent long-term results.
Does my insurance cover EVLA?
Most insurance companies will reimburse for EVLA.
How is my insurance filed?
Medicus Veincare will prepare and submit the necessary claim forms to your insurance company.
How are vein problems diagnosed?
Ultrasound evaluation is used to determine the veins that are not functioning properly. Dr. Tidwell’s extensive training in diagnostic and vascular ultrasound makes him an expert at diagnosing the underlying cause of the varicose veins. Accurate diagnosis is essential to achieve optimal results.
