Understanding Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat leg veins. It uses radiofrequency energy to heat and damage the affected veins, causing them to shrink and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. This advanced technique is highly effective in reducing the appearance of varicose and spider veins, while also alleviating associated symptoms such as pain, swelling, and discomfort.

The Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation

Choosing radiofrequency ablation for your leg veins offers a multitude of benefits. Firstly, it is a non-surgical procedure, meaning there is no need for incisions or general anesthesia. This reduces the risk of complications and ensures a quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods. Moreover, radiofrequency ablation provides long-lasting results, with many patients experiencing significant improvement in the appearance and symptoms of their leg veins.

How Does Radiofrequency Ablation Work?

During the procedure, a thin catheter is inserted into the affected vein under the guidance of ultrasound imaging. Once in position, radiofrequency energy is delivered through the catheter, which heats and damages the vein walls. This thermal energy causes the vein to collapse, sealing it off from the blood flow. Over time, the treated vein is naturally absorbed by the body, and blood is rerouted to healthier veins.

Preparation for the Procedure:

• Wear loose-fitting clothing to ensure comfort during the procedure.
• Avoid applying moisturizers or lotions to your legs on the day of treatment.
• If prescribed by your doctor, take any medications as instructed.
• Arrive at our clinic well-rested and hydrated.

What to Expect During the Procedure:

• You will be positioned comfortably on an examination table.
• The area being treated will be cleaned and numbed using a local anesthetic.
• A small incision may be made to insert the catheter.
• The radiofrequency energy will be delivered through the catheter to treat the targeted vein.
• The entire procedure typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of veins being treated.

Recovery and Aftercare:

• You may experience some mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling in the treated area.
• A compression stocking will be recommended to wear for a specified period to promote healing and reduce the risk of blood clots.
• Regular walking and light exercises are encouraged to aid in the healing process.
• Follow all post-procedure care instructions provided by your doctor.
• Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your progress and evaluate the treatment results.
