Varicose Vein Laser Treatment in Hyderabad
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) is today's gold-standard treatment for varicose veins. Dr. Pritee Sharma — DNB Gold Medalist in Peripheral Vascular Surgery with 21+ years of experience — performs laser vein treatment as a 45-minute, day-care procedure under local anaesthesia at Renova Century Hospital, Banjara Hills.
Laser treatment uses a thin fibre passed inside the faulty vein under ultrasound guidance. Controlled laser energy seals the vein wall from within, redirecting blood flow into healthy deep veins. There are no cuts, no stitches and virtually no scar.
Compared with traditional vein stripping, laser treatment offers faster recovery, less bruising, lower recurrence rates (under 5% at 5 years) and same-day return home. Most patients return to desk work within 24–48 hours.
Every laser procedure begins with a detailed duplex ultrasound to map the exact reflux pattern, so treatment is personalised — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Why this matters in Hyderabad
- Hyderabad's IT, BPO and corporate workforce spend 9–12 hours seated daily — a leading driver of varicose veins, DVT and venous reflux in patients under 45.
- High prevalence of diabetes across Telangana (over 14% of urban adults) makes diabetic foot disease and PAD some of the most common limb-threatening conditions seen at Renova Century Hospital.
- Hot, humid summers and prolonged standing in retail, teaching and healthcare further increase the burden of chronic venous insufficiency in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
- Patients travel to Banjara Hills for vascular care from across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra — Dr. Sharma's team coordinates out-station travel, imaging review and cashless insurance.
