If you’ve noticed bulging, twisted veins on your legs, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans live with varicose veins — a common condition caused by poor circulation in the veins of the legs. Beyond their appearance, varicose veins can lead to symptoms like swelling, heaviness, aching, and fatigue that affect your everyday life.
The good news? There’s now a minimally invasive treatment that can help you get back to living pain-free without surgery or downtime. It’s called Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA), and it’s one of the most advanced treatments available for varicose veins today.
What Is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Ablation is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that uses controlled heat energy to close off damaged veins. During the treatment, a vein specialist inserts a thin catheter into the affected vein. Gentle radiofrequency energy heats the vein walls, causing them to collapse and seal shut. Once closed, blood is naturally rerouted to healthier veins, restoring proper circulation.
The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour, and you can walk out of the clinic and return to normal activities the same day.
Why Choose RFA Treatment?
Patients and physicians alike prefer RFA because it combines safety, effectiveness, and comfort:
- Minimally invasive: No large incisions or stitches
- Quick recovery: Most patients resume work and activities immediately
- High success rate: Proven to improve symptoms and leg appearance
- Little to no scarring: Aesthetic-friendly results
- Covered by most insurance plans:Including Medicare and Medicaid
Is Radiofrequency Ablation Effective for Varicose Veins?
Absolutely. Multiple studies have shown that RFA offers long-term symptom relief and durable closure rates of more than 90 percent. It effectively treats the root cause of varicose veins—venous reflux—helping to prevent recurrence. Patients often report dramatic improvements in leg comfort, energy, and confidence after treatment.
If you’ve been putting off treatment because you’re worried about surgery, RFA offers a safe and modern alternative that fits your lifestyle.
