What is
Radiofrequency Ablаtіоn?

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the preferred spider and varicose vein treatment option at Vein Wellness Clinics to treat vein disease. It is a minimally-invasive solution compared to traditional vein stripping surgery of the past. The procedure addresses the root cause of spider and varicose veins that are symptomatic.

Ablation treats the vein from within by heating thе vein wаll and collapsing the targeted, unhealthy segments. Circulation is then redirected to the other healthy veins within the legs to relieve symptoms and prevent further complications. (RFA) does not require any sedatives or general anesthesia.

Many patients recall “vein stripping” as being a difficult procedure to endure in which the entire saphenous vein would be removed through large skin incisions. With the current endovenous techniques, there is no need for skin incisions or anesthesia to treat varicose veins.

Vein ablation in our New Jersey offices takes no more than 30 minutes and patients can return to their usual activities right after. Plus, no fasting is required for this popular vein treatment procedure, so you can eat and drink as normal up to the minute of the procedure.
