What is EVA?

Endovenous Ablation is a technique for destroying the larger faulty veins. This procedure was developed in 1999 and worldwide, hundreds of thousands of patients have been treated with EVA.

Endovenous Ablation (EVA) is an up-to-date, non-surgical solution to treat your varicose veins, so you don’t have to put up with your symptoms or be embarrassed to show off your legs anymore.

Skin Institute’s EVA treatment cauterises the lining of the affected vein, closing if off and allowing more efficient blood flow to return to your legs.

  • EVA is performed under local anaesthetic, thus avoiding the unnecessary risk of General Anaesthetic
  • A “walk in, walk out” technique and you can return to work the same day if you wish

About EVA

Following a small injection of local anaesthetic, we pass a radiofrequency fibre into the affected vein, which is used to internally cauterise and close the vein. Ultrasound is used to guide the fibre to the exact spot to start treatment. Further local anaesthetic is placed around the vein to ensure that the procedure is painless. The fibre is slowly withdrawn, destroying the varicose vein. The treated vein immediately scars shut and will naturally be absorbed into the body within six to twelve months.

EVA usually needs to be augmented with Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy to the remaining varicose veins in your lower legs or thighs, which may also improve any spider veins you may have. We will guide you through this process as well, in order to help you make the best decisions for your needs.

Symptoms include:

  • Varicose veins
  • Aching, throbbing, pain
  • Night cramps or restless legs
  • Swelling – made worse by environmental factors such as heat, standing, long distance travel
  • Skin pigmentation changes: Hyperpigmentation from haemosiderin deposition or hypopigmentation due to fibrosis
  • Itching
  • Dermatitis/eczema
  • Haemorrhage – varicose veins can bleed easily when scratched or cut.
  • Poor healing of leg wounds
  • Skin ulceration
  • Superficial venous thrombosis or thrombophlebitis

  • After treatment
    • After treatment you will need to wear compression stockings day and night for the first week, and then just during the day for another one to two weeks for maximum effectiveness, depending on how extensive your varicose veins are.
    • We recommend a 30 to 60 minute walk every day for the first four weeks, and you should avoid strenuous exercise for two to three weeks after treatment.
