Here at Star Veins & Aesthetics, we understand the frustration and discomfort varicose veins can cause. Not only do they affect the appearance of your legs, but they can also lead to pain, swelling, and fatigue. Luckily, advancements in medical technology offer minimally invasive solutions like radiofrequency ablation veins to combat these unwanted veins.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. It utilizes radiofrequency energy to generate heat, effectively closing off the problematic vein. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Catheter Insertion: A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into the targeted vein through a tiny nick in your skin. Ultrasound technology guides the placement for optimal accuracy.
- Heat Delivery: Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the catheter, causing controlled heating within the vein wall. This heat damages the inner lining, leading to the vein’s closure.
- Blood Rerouting: Once sealed, blood naturally reroutes to healthy veins, improving circulation and preventing further issues.
- Minimal Scarring: The small incision heals quickly, leaving minimal to no scarring.
