Why does location matter for vein treatment?

Easy access on treatment day

Vein treatment at LEDAS is a same-day procedure under local anesthesia. Being close to a major subway hub means you can arrive easily and go back to your hotel or home without a long drive.

Walking is part of recovery

Gentle walking after EVLT and sclerotherapy helps blood keep moving in the deep veins. Seomyeon's flat streets and underground shopping passages make it easy to take short, comfortable walks in any weather. Inside the clinic, a dedicated route called "LEDAS Road" is used for walking after treatment.
