Radiofrequency Ablation
Send an e-mail enquiry to The Vein Institute Parramatta
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure for treating varicose veins. Our doctors insert a thin RFA fibre into the vein which heats it and seals it shut, stopping blood flow. Over time, your body will absorb the vein. During RFA treatment, the fibre lets out radiofrequency energy in 20-second bursts directly into the vein. Rather than clotting the blood, the energy targets the collagen in the vein wall, making it shrink. You should not be able to feel this happening.
