Laser Varicose Vein Treatment in Hyderabad
Modern 1470 nm endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) has replaced traditional vein stripping as the international standard of care for varicose veins. Dr. Pritee Sharma performs laser vein treatment as a 30–45 minute, walk-in walk-out, day-care procedure under local anaesthesia at Renova Century Hospital, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
Laser vein treatment uses a thin radial-fibre laser passed inside the faulty saphenous vein under ultrasound guidance. Controlled laser energy gently seals the vein wall from within, redirecting blood into healthy deep veins. There are no cuts, no stitches, no scars and no general anaesthesia.
Compared to older 980 nm lasers, the latest 1470 nm radial-fibre platform delivers more uniform heat with significantly less bruising and a closure rate above 95% at five years. Most patients walk out within two hours and return to desk work in 24–48 hours.
Every laser procedure is preceded by a same-visit duplex ultrasound performed by Dr. Sharma herself, so reflux mapping and treatment planning are personal — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Latest-generation radial-fibre 1470 nm laser delivers precise, low-thermal-injury vein closure with minimal bruising. Done under local tumescent anaesthesia in 30–45 minutes.
EVLA + Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Bulging surface tributaries are removed through 1–2 mm punctures in the same sitting for a complete cosmetic and clinical result.
EVLA + Foam Sclerotherapy
Residual perforator or reticular veins are treated with ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy at the same visit.
Bilateral Same-Day Laser
Both legs are usually treated in a single sitting, halving total downtime.

Frequently asked questions
No. The procedure is performed under local tumescent anaesthesia and is essentially pain-free. Most patients describe only mild pulling for 2–3 days afterwards.
Yes. In most patients both legs are treated in a single sitting under local anaesthesia, halving total recovery time.
Yes — most Indian health insurance plans cover EVLA when venous reflux is documented on duplex ultrasound. Our team handles end-to-end pre-authorisation.
Cost depends on whether one or both legs are treated, the number of perforators, and the technology (1470 nm laser, RFA or glue). A written estimate is given after the duplex scan.
Less than 5% at 5 years for the treated vein. New veins can develop in unrelated areas, but the treated vein does not reopen.
What to expect during recovery
- Walk out of the hospital within 2 hours of the procedure
- Back to desk work in 24–48 hours; driving in 2–3 days
- Mild bruising or pulling sensation for 3–5 days, controlled with paracetamol
- Class-II compression stockings for 2 weeks
- Resume gym, swimming and long-distance travel in 7–10 days
- Duplex review at 4–6 weeks to confirm vein closure
Why this matters in Hyderabad
- Hyderabad's large IT corridor (HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kondapur) sees a fast-rising number of varicose vein cases in workers under 40 from prolonged sitting.
- Long workdays of standing among Charminar-area retail staff, Banjara Hills surgeons and Secunderabad teachers contribute to advanced varicose disease.
- Hot, humid summers make leg heaviness, swelling and skin pigmentation worse — patients often present in summer months.
- Renova Century Hospital, Banjara Hills is centrally located with easy access from Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kukatpally, Begumpet, Secunderabad and Dilsukhnagar.
