Varicose vein treatment with radiofrequency ablation available in Manhattan

Varicose veins are an age-old problem. These unattractive bulging, twisting veins can cause all sorts of discomfort, from restless leg syndrome to chronic pain and swelling. Vein Institute & Pain Centers of America offers a modern solution –radiofrequency ablation– to patients in the Manhattan area. This treatment restores appearance and alleviates physical symptoms of venous insufficiency. It is available at Vein Institute & Pain Centers of America.

A nonsurgical approach

Historically, varicose veins were removed under general anesthesia with a surgical procedure called stripping. Incisions allowed the surgeon to pull problem veins from under the skin. Sutures were required, and there was a substantial recovery period.

Radiofrequency ablation, or RFA, is a minimally invasive alternative to eliminate abnormal veins, redirect blood flow to healthy veins, and relieve discomfort. Ultrasound images guide the doctor in precise insertion of a thin catheter. Radiofrequency energy is delivered through the catheter. It heats collagen in the vein wall, causing the vein to shrink and close.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and typically takes an hour or less. Only local numbing is needed. You may get back to normal activities the same day. However, we advise wearing a compression stocking for at least a week, before resuming strenuous exercise.
