Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment for varicose veins that uses radiofrequency energy to heat and collapse the walls of the veins. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and a catheter is inserted into the affected vein to deliver radiofrequency energy. The heat from the energy causes the vein to shrink and close, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins. RFA is highly effective and requires minimal recovery time.
This procedure is commonly recommended for individuals with varicose veins or venous insufficiency, offering relief from symptoms such as pain and swelling.
