EVLT Complications: You will need to elaborate on what the complication was. The most common complication is some slight numbness of the skin at the treated area & this usually resolves on its own. If you has a more severe complication, such as a blood clot, then it may require treatment with blood thinner medication, prolonged compression therapy, and f/u ultrasound imaging. See a local vascular surgeon to discuss

Complications differ: Following EVLT different types of complications can occur. The most significant would be the development of DVT, but fortunately, this is a very rare complication. The most common complaints (which are not necessarily complications) that I see are bruising, swelling, "lumps" from the microphlebectomy areas, redness along the laser site and occasionally numbness . See a vein specialist if worried.
