EVLA (endovenous laser ablation) in Uno Clinic
About the clinic
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) at Uno Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides a modern way to treat varicose veins and spider veins. This minimally invasive procedure uses thermal energy to close damaged blood vessels without the need for traditional surgical stripping. The method is often chosen for its efficiency and the ability to help patients return to their daily lives quickly.
Advanced Treatment Techniques
Uno Clinic offers two primary laser-based methods to address vascular issues. These techniques focus on safety and reducing the physical impact of the procedure:
- Standard EVLA: This technique uses precise laser heat to seal compromised veins. It is suitable for both large varicose veins and smaller telangiectasias.
- LAAF (Laser After Foam): This innovative approach combines sclerosant foam with laser energy. The combination helps close veins more effectively than foam alone. It is significantly less invasive than conventional vascular surgery.
Diagnosis and Preparation
Successful vein treatment begins with an accurate assessment of blood flow. Before the procedure, patients undergo an Ecodoppler vascular ultrasound. This diagnostic step allows specialists to map the veins and check for any blockages or signs of thrombosis. Uno Clinic provides these diagnostic services on-site to simplify the patient journey.
Recovery and Results
Because EVLA is minimally invasive, it does not involve the large incisions required by older surgical methods. Patients can typically expect a fast recovery. The thermal energy from the laser treats the vein from the inside, which minimizes bruising and discomfort. The clinic operates three specialized medical departments to support patients through every stage of their vascular care.

Uno Clinic: more details about the clinic
Uno Clinic is a multi-specialty medical center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Three specialized departments operate within a single building. The facility integrates surgical and non-surgical care across several medical fields.
The clinic's medical team consists of three specialists. These doctors hold professional registrations in several areas:
- Angiology and vascular surgery
- Cardiology and intensive medicine
- Geriatrics and general clinical medicine
One specialist serves as a dedicated cardiologist for surgical risk assessment.
Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Procedures
The plastic surgery department focuses on body contouring and facial rejuvenation. Surgeons perform abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and fat while strengthening abdominal muscles. For breast surgery, the clinic offers mammoplasty for reduction, lifting, or enlargement.
The clinic uses a "Combinações" approach to surgery. This lets surgeons perform multiple aesthetic techniques in a single session. Patients address several concerns at once, and results are more cohesive.
For patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation, the clinic provides several energy-based options:
- Hipro – microfocused ultrasound that reaches deep skin layers for lifting without surgery
- TSculptor – high-intensity electromagnetic fields that stimulate and tone muscle tissue
- Laser rejuvenation – technology that stimulates collagen to reduce wrinkles and improve texture
- Microagulhamento – fine needles that trigger skin renewal to treat scars and aging signs
These procedures improve skin firmness and contour without the recovery time of major surgery.
Vascular Surgery and Phlebology
Dr. Raimundo Luiz Senra Barros leads vascular services at Uno Clinic. The department treats varicose veins and spider veins using minimally invasive methods. Specialists close damaged vessels through thermal or chemical means rather than traditional stripping.
Vascular treatment options include:
- Tratamento com Espuma Densa – sclerosant foam injected into veins to eliminate them
- Tratamento com Laser – thermal energy used to close damaged blood vessels
- LAAF (Laser After Foam) – a combination of laser and foam for stronger results
The LAAF technique boosts treatment efficiency while remaining less invasive than standard surgery.
Diagnostics and Specialized Care
Uno Clinic has a diagnostic suite that supports its surgical and nutritional programs. Specialists use Ecodoppler vascular ultrasound to analyze blood flow and detect thrombosis or blockages. This imaging is essential for planning varicose vein procedures.
For nutritional and slimming programs, the clinic uses Bioimpedância. This technology measures fat, muscle mass, and water levels. The data helps nutritionists build personalized plans based on the patient's metabolism.
The cardiology department provides heart health screenings:
- Eletrocardiograma (ECG) – records heart electrical activity to diagnose arrhythmias
- Echocardiography – ultrasound imaging of heart structure
- ABPM – 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
- Ultrasound of carotid arteries – checks for stroke risk and vessel health
These tests are often part of surgical risk assessment for older patients or those undergoing major aesthetic procedures.
