What is EVLT?

EVLT (Endovenous Laser Therapy) is a clinically-proven procedure to treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Rather than performing a surgical removal, we close the malfunctioning vein using precise laser energy. The body then naturally reroutes blood through healthy veins, restoring efficient circulation.

Performed in-office under local anesthesia, most procedures take less than one hour.

This treatment is performed in-office, under local anesthesia, and typically takes less than an hour.

Symptoms and Conditions EVLT Helps Improve

Many individuals seek treatment after noticing one or more of the following:

  • Varicose veins visible on the legs
  • Heaviness, aching, or fatigue in the legs
  • Leg swelling (edema)
  • Restless or uncomfortable legs, especially at night
  • Skin discoloration or tenderness near the ankles
  • Warm, throbbing, or burning sensations along the veins

These symptoms may indicate chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where the veins no longer circulate blood effectively. EVLT treats the root cause rather than just the visible veins. If you are have any of these symptoms, make an appointment with KVI.

How the EVLT Procedure Works

  1. Ultrasound Mapping
    We use diagnostic ultrasound to assess your vein function and determine which veins require treatment.
  2. Localized Comfort Anesthesia
    The affected area is gently numbed for your comfort.
  3. Laser Treatment
    A thin laser fiber is placed inside the vein. Laser energy seals the vein safely and effectively.
  4. Natural Circulation Restoration
    Your body reroutes blood to healthier veins, often resulting in noticeable improvement shortly after treatment.

Dr. Kronson and his team have provided excellent care during my treatment for leg pain. He ensures I'm comfortable during injections, addressing my fears and making the process easier. The ultrasound specialist is also very supportive, allowing me to use my headphones and pillow for added comfort. The staff is always polite and welcoming, and I appreciate their efficient service. I highly recommend their amazing team to anyone needing similar treatment. I'm more than halfway through and look forward to the results!

Dr. Kronson and his staff are very professional and caring. I received treatment for venous insuffiency on my right leg first and later on my left leg. I no longer suffer from the condition that was treated for. Dr. Kronson, Angela, and Clyde are very attuned to the needs of their patients. You follow their instructions and you will get the results you are seeking. I heartily recommend this practice!

Dr.J. Kronson literally gave me my life back....!
The best vascular Doctor in Arcadia and surrounding areas. I have been to many but none has taken care of me like Dr. Kronson.
I have been suffering with all sorts of leg issues for the last four years and have given up hope until I came across Dr. Kronson. I have been unable to walk, sit, stand for more than 15 minutes at a time. I have had such severe pain and restless leg syndrome at night and hardly slept. I have gained so much weight and have literally given up hope.This is to name a few and the list goes on and on.

I have had 5 procedures on each leg a total of 10 between July & October 12 was my last post op visit. I felt the difference in my legs after each procedure.
It has been 2 weeks since my last visit and I am able to sit, stand, walk and sleep without any pain. I did my first walk at the rose bowl and I cannot express the gratitude!!
Dr.Kronson does all procedures himself and is professional and has the best bed side manner when dealing with his patients.
If you have any vascular issues I Highly recommend Dr. Kronson.

His staff makes you feel like you are family and his office manager Angela is an absolutely Gem. She takes care of you on arrival and is a woman of her word. I have yet to come across an office like this one.
Clyde who does all the ultrasounds is such a gentleman and not to forget Tristan who is a pleasure to see when you first walk through the door.

Thank You Doctor Kronson from myself and my entire family you are amazing at what you do!!!!!
Sincerely
Salma & Family

Thank you Angela... you Rock!

My varicose veins were a problem for me for many years. My plan was to work through the pain but when my doctor suggested seeing Dr Kronson, I found relief. Office staff is the best! Dr Kronson is deserving of a ten star review!

After I recently returned to Dr. Kronson Vein Institute for treatment on my second leg and experiencing amazing success with the first. I can't express how grateful I am for the care and attention I've received. Every staff member is not only professional but also compassionate. Making me feel valued as well as respected. The team genuinely cares about their patients and goes above and beyond to ensure comfort during every visit. The office is consistently prompt with appointments and very thorough in their procedures. I also appreciate the recent updates to the office, including fresh paint and a welcoming feng shui, which definitely enhances the overall experience. I will always give them the highest rating possible and recommend them to others. The staff, especially the ultrasound specialist treats me like family, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my treatments. Appreciate you all with maximum gratitude. Thank you for love and care given

Dr. Kronson and everyone who works there are wonderful. I had laser and Verithena on both my legs. The procedures went quickly. The shots hurt but that’s to be expected. I am very happy with my experience here. I wasn’t happy wearing the compression stockings but it was necessary.
