Thermal Ablation
There are two types of thermal (heat) ablation procedures that close down abnormal veins: Endovenous Ablation and Radiofrequency Ablation. Both of these treatments are FDA approved and performed in less than 15 minutes with success rates greater than 95% and very low recurrence rates. Patients can immediately return to normal activity that same day, with little or no pain.

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
EVLA consists of inserting an FDA approved laser fiber into the affected vein. Laser energy heat is then delivered to the vein and seals it shut (ablation). Once the bad vein is closed, blood is naturally rerouted to healthy veins which improves venous circulation.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
RFA consists of inserting an FDA approved catheter (VNUS ClosureFAST ®) into the affected vein. Radiofrequency energy (heat) is then delivered to the vein and seals it shut like EVLA. Once the bad vein is closed, blood is naturally rerouted to healthy veins which improves venous circulation.
