procedure steps

1. Mapping and Marking Ultrasounds

To properly arrange the treatment, a duplex ultrasound is used to identify and mark the target troublesome vein.

2. Local Anesthesia

To numb the area and shield surrounding tissues from the heat, local anesthetic is administered down the vein's length and around the treatment site.

3. Insertion of the Catheter

A narrow catheter with a radiofrequency probe is introduced into the damaged vein under ultrasound guidance after a tiny skin puncture is created, generally close to the knee.

4. Injection of Tumescent Anesthesia

Under ultrasound supervision, tumescent anesthetic is administered around the vein, compressing it and serving as a heat sink to protect surrounding tissues.

5. Application of Radiofrequency Energy

The radiofrequency fiber causes the vein to collapse and seal permanently by delivering regulated heat energy to the vein wall in segments, usually 7 cm at a time.

6. Removal of the Catheter

Radiofrequency energy is applied along the whole length of the targeted vein while the catheter is gradually removed.

7. Following Therapy

The leg is covered with bandages or compression stockings to promote healing and lessen swelling. Following the surgery, patients are urged to walk.

suitable for

Individuals with Varicose Vein Symptoms

RFA is particularly beneficial for people with venous insufficiency symptoms include leg pain, swelling, heaviness, skin discoloration, ulceration, or inflammation.

Major Veins' Superficial Venous Insufficiency

Ideal for treating perforator veins with reflux verified by ultrasonography, the great saphenous vein (GSV), and the small saphenous vein (SSV).

Veins with a diameter of more than 3 mm

Recommended for veins with a diameter more than 3 mm and reflux times longer than 0.5 seconds.

Individuals Unresponsive to Conservative Therapy

Those who continue to experience symptoms even after using compression stockings and other non-invasive treatments.

Patients Looking for Office-Based, Minimally Invasive Therapy

For patients seeking an efficient substitute for surgery with less discomfort, no need for general anesthesia, and a speedy recovery, RFA is perfect.For patients seeking an efficient substitute for surgery with less discomfort, no need for general anesthesia, and a speedy recovery, RFA is perfect.

Individuals with Venous Ulcers and Chronic Venous Disease

Helpful in reducing symptoms and accelerating ulcer healing in cases with severe venous illness.

Able to Treat Several Veins in One Session

Additional surface varicosities can be addressed with supplementary techniques while both legs are being treated concurrently.

Appropriate for Individuals with Co-morbidities

RFA has a low likelihood of complications and is safe for people with cardiovascular problems or those on anticoagulant therapy.

benefits

Safe and Minimal Invasion

RFA is a minimally invasive process that is carried out under local anesthesia, lowering the risks of infections and severe bruising that come with standard surgery.

Reduced Anguish and Pain

Because RFA uses tumescent anesthetic and moderate thermal radiation, it produces less post-procedural discomfort, bruising, and swelling than endovenous laser ablation and surgical vein stripping.

Fast Recuperation and Practicality

As an outpatient “walk-in, walk-out” operation, patients typically have little downtime and return to their regular activities in 24 to 48 hours.

Enhances Quality of Life and Symptoms

RFA improves the quality of life for patients by effectively reducing symptoms such leg pain, edema, weariness, and heaviness. It also aids in the healing of venous ulcers.

Outstanding Cosmetic Outcomes

By removing protruding varicose veins, the closure of defective veins improves the appearance of the legs.

Adaptable and Fit for Patients at High Risk

Safe for people with comorbid conditions who would not be able to handle surgery or general anesthesia, as well as those on anticoagulant therapy.

post-treatment recovery

Quick Post-Procedure Care
Following the surgery, patients are typically monitored in a recovery area for 15 to 60 minutes before being released that same day.
The patient should be driven home by a friend or relative.
Exercise and Rest
Within 24 to 48 hours, the majority of patients are able to return to their regular daily activities.
While vigorous exercise, heavy lifting, and extended sitting or standing should be avoided for at least a week, light walking is recommended to enhance circulation.
Anguish and Pain
Usually lasting one to two weeks, the treated area may experience mild pain, soreness, or a warm, sunburn-like sensation.
Painkillers that are available over-the-counter can assist control discomfort.
Compression Treatment
In order to minimize edema and promote recovery, compression stockings may be advised for one to two weeks following the treatment; however, depending on the patient, some procedures might not require this.
Aftercare
In order to track healing and assess symptom progress, follow-up sessions usually take place within one to two weeks.
If necessary, more treatment sessions may be arranged.
Long-Term Pain Management and Healing
After RFA, maximum pain reduction typically appears two to three weeks later.
Before nerves may recover, the effects may linger for six to twelve months or longer. Repeated treatments may be required for long-term relief.
