Radiofrequency Ablation technology is used to treat varicose veins. The procedure is done by inserting a catheter into the vein through a tiny knick in the skin. The radiofrequency energy is used to heat and contract the collagen in the vein walls. The RFA procedure should only take around 30-45 minutes. The result is the shrinking and collapsing of the vein walls which will disappear from view. Even though the vein has collapsed, your body will re-direct blood flow through healthy veins. Patients will have little downtime and fast recovery. RFA provides patients with many positive results and benefits.

Some of these include minimal pain and discomfort, no scarring, and a fast and safe procedure. Patients will have positive cosmetic results and the disappearance of symptoms from the varicose veins. The veins should disappear from view in around 10-14 days. The veins will not return, however new veins may become diseased.
