Treatment Overview
Treatment Overview
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is an advanced, non-surgical treatment for varicose veins that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to close diseased veins from the inside. Guided by ultrasound, a very thin catheter is inserted into the target vein through a small puncture. Radiofrequency energy then gently heats the vein wall, causing it to collapse and seal shut. This stops reflux, improves blood flow, and relieves the discomfort and appearance of varicose veins—without the need for vein stripping or general anesthesia.
What to Expect
What to Expect
Your visit starts with a detailed ultrasound examination to map the affected veins and confirm candidacy. During the procedure, the skin is numbed with local anesthesia and the radiofrequency catheter is guided into the vein under ultrasound. You may feel mild warmth or pressure but the treatment is generally comfortable. A typical RFA session takes about 30–60 minutes. After the procedure, a compression stocking is applied and you’ll be encouraged to walk immediately. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with light restrictions for the first 1–2 weeks.
How it Works
How it Works
RFA uses controlled radiofrequency energy to generate gentle heat along the vein wall, shrinking and sealing the vein from within. Over time, the treated vein is absorbed by the body and blood naturally reroutes to healthy veins. This reduces symptoms such as aching, heaviness, and swelling, while improving the cosmetic appearance of your legs. Because it’s performed under local anesthesia with ultrasound guidance, the procedure is precise and spares surrounding tissue.
Maintenance
Maintenance
Most patients need only one RFA session per diseased vein. Additional treatments such as sclerotherapy or microphlebectomy may be recommended to treat small residual or spider veins for optimal cosmetic results. Follow-up ultrasounds ensure proper healing and long-term vein health.
Pricing
Pricing
The cost of RFA varies based on the size and number of veins treated. At NewDermaMed, you’ll receive a clear, itemized quote after your ultrasound and consultation. Package pricing is available if multiple veins or adjunct treatments are needed.

Who is Radiofrequency Ablation For?
