Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered a highly successful and effective treatment for varicose veins. Studies have shown excellent outcomes, with most patients experiencing relief from symptoms and improved vein appearance. However, individual results may vary, and your doctor will discuss your expected outcomes during your consultation.
While RFA is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated, potential downsides may include minor discomfort, bruising, or temporary skin discoloration at the treatment site. These side effects are typically mild and temporary, resolving within a few weeks.
Radiofrequency vein ablation is usually well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only minimal discomfort, often described as slight pressure or a mild sensation of heat. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
Following RFA, varicose veins typically improve gradually. You may notice relief from symptoms within a few weeks, with the full cosmetic benefits becoming more apparent over several months as the treated veins gradually fade and are absorbed by the body.
Preparation for RFA will be discussed during your pre-procedure consultation with our medical team. Typically, preparations include avoiding certain medications, fasting before the procedure, and wearing loose, comfortable clothing. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific needs.
