bothered by the appearance of or are in pain or discomfort from varicose
veins. Our physicians can help you decide if this procedure is right for you

what can i expect from endovenous venous ablation?

During your endovenous venous ablation procedure, a numbing agent

will be applied to the designated treatment area. A tiny incision will be
made into the skin, where a fine tube (catheter) will be administered.

Once the catheter is inserted into the targeted vein, radiofrequency
energy will be delivered from the tip of the catheter into the vein. As

the catheter is removed, the warmth created by the radiofrequency
energy will result in the collapse and closure of the vein. Your body will

process the collapsed veins as scar tissue and the blood will be rerouted
to healthier veins
