What is Radiofrequency Vein Ablation 

Radiofrequency vein ablation (RFV) is an incision-less varicose vein treatment that can reduce bulging veins while offering little to no downtime and cosmetically attractive outcomes that are difficult to overlook. A licensed specialist can tell you more about sclerotherapy boise, so schedule an appointment today. 

What is radiofrequency vein ablation?

RF vein ablation is an incision-free procedure that seals troublesome leg veins with heat from radio waves. This efficiently removes the damaged vein while resolving the cosmetic and physiologic symptoms of varicose veins, such as discoloration, bulging, pain, and a feeling of leg heaviness or exhaustion. 

The procedure was licensed by the FDA as a vein treatment in 1999 and has subsequently experienced significant improvements as medical technology and technique have advanced. Perhaps most importantly, RFA is extremely effective at eliminating varicose veins and restoring clear and smooth legs you are proud to show off. 

What happens during a radiofrequency vein ablation procedure?

Before scheduling your surgery, your doctor will thoroughly review RF vein ablation with you. The doctor begins the operation by inserting a thin tube (catheter) containing the RF electrode into the targeted vein through a needle puncture. A topical anesthetic reduces needle discomfort, while ultrasound guidance enables accurate catheter positioning along the extent of the vein. 

As your doctor withdraws the catheter, RF radiation produces heat at the tip of the catheter, causing the vein to collapse and close. Any bleeding at the location is stopped by applying pressure and a tiny bandage to the needle puncture. Following the procedure, you should be able to return to work and resume normal activities in most circumstances.
