EVLT 1940nm Laser System for Varicose Vein Ablation & Clinical Vascular Therapy

The exceptional efficacy of the 1940 nm laser is rooted in its unique physical characteristics. This wavelength aligns with the peak absorption band of water molecules, enabling highly efficient and rapid energy absorption within biological tissues. When the laser is delivered into the target area, its energy is instantly absorbed by the tissue's intracellular and extracellular water content, ensuring precise thermal action with superior clinical selectivity and minimal collateral damage.

​

The Three-Step Mechanism of Action

1. Precision Energy Delivery

The 1940 nm laser beam penetrates the skin and is preferentially absorbed by intracellular and extracellular water within the target vein wall. This selective absorption ensures high photothermal efficiency with minimal dispersion into surrounding structures.

2. Direct Vessel Wall Closure

Once absorbed, the laser energy is rapidly converted into heat. Unlike wavelength modalities targeting hemoglobin, thermal energy is concentrated directly on the venous wall rather than diffusing through the blood column. This results in instantaneous dehydration, collagen contraction, and coagulative necrosis of endothelial and supportive layers-effectively creating a "precision photothermal weld" that occludes the vessel.

3. Progressive Fibrosis and Clearance

The occluded vein subsequently undergoes fibrosis, gradually transforming into a fibrous cord that is naturally resorbed by physiological metabolic processes over the following weeks to months, leading to permanent resolution.
 

Key Clinical Advantages

• Virtually Bruise-Free

Since the primary chromophore is water rather than hemoglobin, vessel rupture and erythrocyte extravasation are minimized, resulting in little to no post-treatment bruising.

• Lower Risk of Hyperpigmentation

Energy remains confined within the vessel wall, reducing thermal diffusion into adjacent tissues and significantly lowering the incidence of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

• Concurrent Skin Tightening

Localized thermal stimulation promotes collagen denaturation and remodeling in the dermis, providing a secondary benefit of skin tightening in the treated area.

• Enhanced Patient Comfort

The selective and localized action reduces stimulation of perivascular nerves, improving comfort during the procedure and shortening recovery time.
